Hi Mark, Goose, and the MWL Team,
Thanks so much for giving feedback every week. It's been really helpful. I never thought it was possible to be less than 160 pounds, let alone 154. Like it was a law of physics.
I'm running into an issue, though. After getting down to 154 lbs (70 kg), my family and relatives are kinda shocked and are doing everything in their power to fatten me up a bit. When I look in the mirror, I feel like, "This is exactly where I want to be." But I think it was too much too fast for them. They are kindly making lots of delicious (vegan but high-cal) things for me, that frankly I don't want. That said, they are extremely wonderful people and I don't want to hurt their feelings.
I don't need any feedback on this, but kinda needed to write this out to know what I need to do. I'm looking at my fitbit now, and seeing that my resting heart-rate after three or four days of off-track meals is 4 points higher than it was when I was doing really solid. I should probably share this with them and just say that I want to live the longest most fulfilling life possible and part of that means that I just need to prep all my own meals.
Due to the Virus, I haven't been super motivated to go to the grocery. It feels like a war every time I have to put on the mask and carry a bottle of sanitizer, and as such, I've been without my primary MWL joy - sweet potatoes - for far, far too long. What I need to to is load up on sweet potatoes so I can make great things for my friends instead of having them feel like they need to make things for me.
Maybe my guide line #12 - after Mark's "Don't add other things into this practice" - Should be: Always have sweet potatoes at home, and never leave home without sweet potatoes - especially when going to a party!
Again, not asking for a ton of feedback, but needed a space to process.
