As someone who weighs in daily, I will say that a two pound fluctuation from one day to the next doesn’t mean you’re on/off track. Weighing daily builds tolerance, you learn not to “flip the desk and walk away” (usually to the fridge) when you see a number you don’t want to see. Keep going, time will pass whether you take care of yourself or not, might as well do something good for yourself. 💪 

I should clarify that since I don’t know what you’re doing, speaking with a nutritionist might be a good move for you. Nutritionist services are sometimes available at pharmacies, it could be worth a look. 

Thanks, I really appreciate your comments! I've always been really hard on myself. I know fluctuations are normal but I still tend to beat myself up over them. The Oreos weren't related, just a crack in willpower. I've been to a nutritionist in the past, I have a lot of health issues. I'm still using her advice, but not as much as I probably should lol. She wanted me on a really restrictive diet and it just made me depressed lol  

I’m not a follower/believer in fasting though many people seem to have some success with it as a weight loss strategy. I’m just not sure how fasting could teach us to manage proper eating behaviour. Personally, I have to learn and maintain portion control PERMANENTLY for the rest of my life. The only way to do that (for me) is constantly seeing normal portions of foods I love and sticking to it. 

Intermittent fasting is an easy way to do portion control :) I have 8 hours on and 16 hours off. It's a more natural way of eating and helps you reduce your portions. Overall, it's something I'd like to follow for the rest of my life.
