My weight chart

So I decided to include a graph of my weight loss to date (well, to yesterday's date) to show two things.  One:  I'm obsessed with charts.  But more importantly Two: There's definitely a correlation between not recording my weight daily and gaining weight.  The sad thing about this is that I was still weighing myself daily!  That's right, I was just too ashamed of a lb of weight gain that I didn't put it down until I'd gained back 7 lbs.  As if not writing down my new weight would somehow trick my body into getting smaller.

The other funny thing is that all of those little increases like, say, in early October felt huge and motivated me to work that much harder.  They felt like huge setbacks.  If I didn't lose for two days I'd start thinking "Am I at a plateau?"  How do I get through it?  This was great short term, but I can't keep that kind of neurosis up long term.  I'm going to try to focus on more reasonable reactions to my weight gain.  I want to hold myself accountable, but not have a panic attack.  There's got to be some middle ground, right?
