Start: 95.4 Last week: ??.? This week: 87.0
Tuesday 2 October: Got back last Saturday morning after an overnight flight and hopped on the scales, just for fun. 89.4. Not so good, but maybe better than it could have been. Appetite suppression stayed good. The problem was twofold; boredom, and delicious food. I know I ate some food simply for want of anything better to do. And East African curries are just so delicious that on a couple of occasions I managed to eat far more than I needed to. Still, all is not lost. Or rather (heehee) it is. Back down this morning to a new all-time low.

“Something” physiological might happen during a long flight, because no matter how little or much I have eaten during a trip, my pre and post-flight weight shows a one or one and a half kilo gain. This “evaporates” without effort by the end of the following two or three days. Water retention?
I think you are right, that it is water rentention, although I am not too sure how that squares with the advice to keep drinking. Or maybe I am. If the air in the cabin is dry, you will lose more water through breathing, evaporation and stuff. But because of the low pressure, tissues swell, which takes water. So even though you are dehydrating, you retain water.
There, a nonsense armchair theory. Someone correct me.
