Even to this day I still don't fully understand the wild weight swings
Weigh yourself, have a cup of tea, weigh yourself again, 4lb difference, weigh cup of tea, and then try and work out where the difference is coming from -wtf
I used to record my weight in a chart, and would weigh myself 1-15 times a day, mainly before work and the evenings as I didn't have access to scales at work or it would have been worse
No its mystifying how it works, I never could work it out either, like you say cup of tea could equal several pounds and yet I could go out and drop 10 pints ( I was drinking at that time ) and wake up in the morning and be lighter than I was prior to drinking, I guess its water retention or something. I remember carrying scales to work in my bag so I could weigh myself.
It became a running joke in my place of work that no one ever saw me eat lunch or indeed anything. I would have been mortified to have eaten in front of anyone then anyway (even now I cant eat in front of strangers or people I dont know very well ). I would say I am over it all now although parts of it remain with me, I know though that it would be easy to go back there though, partly because (and this might sound odd) I remember the time as one of my most happiest periods (present situation excluded).
It was about 5 years before I could eat a meal at my parents in laws house in front of them and would feign some level of illness that prevented me from eating with them and used to sit at the table feeling increasing discomfort. To this day I despise feeling full, I rarely eat anything before 6pm each day as I associate the feeling of hunger as normal.
