Every time I hit a plateau, I automatically assume that CICO is no longer working or that I'm doing it wrong. It makes a lot of mornings very negative.
I'm F, 5'4", 78.2kg (down from 94.3kg). I've been eating at 1200cal a day since January. I weigh myself every morning before I shower, and have started seeing a pattern in my loss. I tend to lose about 0.2-0.4 kg over the course of two or three days, and then slowly gain it back over the following three or four days, before seeing another big loss that overall gets me about 0.3kg below where I was before. This is fine I guess and I can see the clear downward trend from when I started, but every time this happens I panick internally, thinking I've counted my calories all wrong or that I'm finally at the point where eating at 1200cal won't do anything for me anymore. I know this isn't the case because my TDEE is still around 1700 or so, and I'm literally weighing everything I put in my mouth so I'd be surprised if the error was there. I just wish I didn't panick so much at seeing the scale go up after being so relieved when it goes back down. I think I'm also annoyed because I'm losing weight at a much slower rate than I'd like. Does anyone else have this weird pattern? Is there any way to avoid it? Drink more water? Don't eat so late at night? I'm stumped.
