Hang in There, Kogasa-san #3824
This pattern would be asking too much of normal people, so it can't be helped. :-) This is one of the nice things about being self-employed.
Once I got past the initial plateau I abruptly reached, my weight decreased steadily. It's not good to lose weight too quicklly, so I kept it to a slow pace of 2-3 kg per month. Though the city health care worker who called me out there for a physical exam before my diet told me, "That's not slow at all!" (^^;) Apparently "slow" means about 500g per month. (^^;)
