Ah, Ann, you truly are the voice of reason.
Having said that, I agree and disagree with some of the things you mentioned.
A lot of things can cause weight gain and lots of those can be physical, like you mentioned.
We can all agree on the salt intake, medication, bowel movements, water retention, etc.
But... those are immediate and temporary, most of the time.
Homeostasis is a real thing.
I am, however, not sure how and why this works the way it probably does.
And I am not trusting my body to find that equilibrium on its own, it has let me down on the gaining weight part.
More than one surgeon talks about the body wanting to go back to that high weight.
But... this did not happen overnight, it happened during the last 1,5 month.
It is not that I mind the gain, I really can use it.
It is the thought of not stopping that regain in my (pre set) time.
In other words, I want to control my body.
How is that for a control freak, hm?
I would be extremely pleased to hover around that 114.
As long as I know I stay there.
But one pound can lead to another, as we all know.
It is like Katrina said: frustrating and for me scaring as well.
But I am still a puppy in this maintaining matter.
I can't do more than stay on top of this and keep doing what I am doing now.
Time will tell.
But I will keep y'all informed, because I really love all of your thoughts on this.
