So, a few more days have passed. When I first read Leigh's response on Saturday, I'll admit my initial reaction was to bristle - an insinuation that *I* am selfish? ME? No, I am the sick and screwed up martyr who woefully must eat less than half of what others eat just to maintain my weight on a couch potato level. But after a little contemplation I saw/see the selfishness here. FINALLY, someone who isn't afraid to tell it like it is and give me a bit of a swift kick upside the head - so thank you Leigh for that.
Yes, I need to repair, but given the complication of the pregnancy I went ahead and increased my calories again that very day (Sat). Now my goal is 1600-1650/day. That's a quicker increase than the MRM lays out, but I do have a baby to consider, so.... so far so good. Maybe it's dumb not to be following things exactly as written (and I realize the manual says that straight out), but this is a different circumstance as well. And in spite of everything I've lost 1/2lb in the last several days. C R A Z Y. I assume there is a fair amount of water shifting going on....
I'm going to set up a log today.
