Is there a way to distinguish weight cycling (harmful) from "unintentional" body fluctuations? I no longer weigh myself and I don't diet (yay!!), but I do go through different phases of life where my body is different sizes, and I'm worried that might constitute weight cycling and have negative health outcomes.

Unless there's an injury or illness involved, it may be your body is naturally weight cycling...e.g. in reaction to exercise, salt consumption, or half a million other things that our body does to take care of us.
