I am summoned home for reasons, and currently on the train heading north.

Over the last six weeks, my weight's risen a kilo, and is now very clearly over the 95kg that I thought was my new equilibrium. As far as I can tell, it's still rising.

Thyroid dose seems to be dropping gently, so I guess I currently think that no-PUFAs is great for metabolism but possibly not so important obesity-wise.

Last seven day moving average is 96.3kg, BMI 30.3 so I'm roughly back where I was when I first started worrying about my weight, except that the rate it's rising is faster than the 4kg/year that scared me in the first place.

Before whatever was going on last year happened, my last seven-day average weight was around 98.3kg (BMI 31) in April 2023, roughly when I think I spotted that peanut butter had lots of PUFAs in it.

If I hadn't done anything at all last year, and that had kept going up at 4kg/year, it would be about 102kg by now.

It occurs to me that if no-PUFAs hasn't had any effect at all on my set-point, and all last year's weight variation was due to something else, then maybe 102kg (BMI 32.2) is my set-point now.

As usual, I'm going to stop measuring my weight, stop thinking about it, waddle to the pub in Stannington every day, and spend a few weeks letting Mum feed me up to her heart's content.

I guess I expect my weight to carry on rising at roughly the same rate that it's currently rising, plus a bit of overfeeding that should come off quickly once back, so I'm expecting to be around 97.3 kg (BMI 30.7) in a month's time.

On the other hand, if my set point is really 102kg now, then I should have plenty of opportunity to achieve that over the next few weeks.

I've taken a fairly large pair of trousers, and enough money to buy a new pair if necessary. I'm a growing boy, after all....
