what would you tell week-1 you about what went wrong
what would you tell week-1 you about what went wrong — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice.
Chased the scale instead of the measurements for a year and made myself miserable for no additional progress.
Stopped for financial reasons and regained most of it. Not a moral story, just a budget and a documented outcome.
Told everybody, then stopped, then had to tell everybody that too. That was harder than any of the rest of it.
Tell me where this is wrong. That is the useful part of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in

How long did it take you to notice?
Contemporaneous notes matter most in exactly the situations where people are least inclined to write them. Memory reorganises a bad fortnight into a tidier story with a clearer villain.
buy small first is the lesson that keeps being learned expensively
Correction to my own post: it was my storage, not the shipment. Leaving the original up with this attached.
Was there a point where the information was available and you did not look?
Ignored something for four days that I should have asked about on day one. That is the only genuine regret in my whole run.
