i ate like trash for 3 days and woke up expecting the worst. inositol said nope.
okay i have to post this because i'm genuinely still shocked.
i have a slow metabolism. not in the "i say that but i'm probably just eating too much" way. in the "i can eat at maintenance and still bloat like i inhaled a balloon" way. my body has always overreacted to everything. one high carb day and i'd be up 3 lbs of water weight, puffy, frustrated, and doing damage control for a week. it made every slip feel so much worse than it was. like my body was specifically designed to punish me harder than other people.
the last few days were messy. high carb, more food than usual, not a disaster by normal standards but by MY standards? historically that's a problem.
i stepped on the scale this morning fully prepared.
nothing. bloating came and went but like… quickly. the water weight just didn't show up. i stood there staring at the number like it had to be wrong.
i started on 4g of myo-inositol and recently switched to the combo version with d-chiro too. that's it. that's the only new thing.
i know that probably sounds small but for me it's not small. i've spent years feeling like my body was working against me no matter what i did. staying on track felt exhausting because even when i was doing everything right, one bad day could undo it visibly and immediately. the frustration of that is hard to explain to someone whose body doesn't work that way.
right now i just feel… stable? less fragile- like i have some margin for error for the first time ever. and honestly the thing getting me most is that i haven't even been trying that hard yet. this is just baseline. if i actually put effort in on top of this i think i'm going to do really well.
idk if this is just me haha
i just feel hopeful in a way i haven't in a long time and i had to share it somewhere.
