for years my go-to lie was 215. actual scale was closer to 240, and i’d type 215 into profiles like it was a pre-order bonus.
late-night raids didn’t help; i kept a 2-liter of regular soda next to the desk and treated it like a mana bar. i swapped to zero sugar + seltzer months ago, mostly to see if the habit would hold, and it did.
this morning the scale read 209.8. nothing dramatic, but it’s under the number i used to invent.
weird feeling, like my fake save file got overwritten by the real one. the mental math is the strange part: i spent so long rounding myself down that seeing an honest number lower than the lie doesn’t fully land.
anyone else have an old fake stat that real life quietly passed?
