When the Scale Didn't Move for Three Weeks

Three weeks is a long time when you're eating more than you ever have and the scale refuses to move.

The slow leak of motivation

I kept showing up. I finished my meals even when I didn't feel like it. And every morning the scale gave me the same number. It wasn't dramatic disappointment — just a slow leak of motivation.

Other signals started showing up

Around week three I stopped checking every day. I started noticing how my clothes were fitting differently. My arms looked a little fuller. The scale just wasn't catching up yet.

Progress doesn't always announce itself with a new number. Sometimes it shows up in ways that are harder to measure.
