Well, that's annoying. My first gain so far.
Full disclosure and overshare: I have IBS that's triggered by stress. The last few days have been VERY stressful and my toilet and I have formed a close supportive relationship. It's also exacerbated when I do not drink enough water, which I haven't done the last two days. This is day 3 of the episode, and by far the worst, and I am SO bloated. I'm going to attribute the gain to that.
I've done daily weights before so I know my weight can move up and down pretty easily during these episodes. I am happy to report that I don't feel discouraged at all, because my pants are so loose this morning (even with the bloat) that I changed into a different pair!
I started this journey with the mindset that weight loss isn't this consistent downward slope, but a set of stairs with a few landings in them. A detour here and there. The plateaus and gains don't really matter day to day as long as I'm eating well and working towards better health.
Onward and downward! Most days. Not today. Sometimes upward. And that's okay.
