I must say that things have been more like a roller coaster. I have been on the road driving about 1000 miles and then Tom tov. whew it’s up and down, constantly testing constantly correcting constantly eating. Now that is a lot of weight for me. I have another 1000 miles to get back, help. I basically didn’t eat while driving.
Mosh3 what are you worried about nobody is going to look at you different if they know and besides your chavrusah should also know just is case. About your mother don’t worry it she is being concerned about you ( maybe a little to much) .
