Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I watch the number I actually care about
• I’m doing all the work but I keep staring at the scale (or the bank balance) that barely budges, and every time it stalls I feel like a failure even though I showed up
• I keep staring at the number on the scale and it barely moves for weeks, so I either get crushed or give up
• I only ever watch the final number
• I’m weighing myself every morning and letting that one jumpy number decide whether the whole thing is working
