Some cool things I did this month.
Lost 11 pounds in 15 days. Participated in invitees only party in Rio’s new years eve, by invitation of a billionaire. Caught up to philosophizing about existence with my best friend who lives in Brasilia now. Finished subscribing to all those snazzy PHD programs that can provide me a Visa and income at the place I want to live. Learned to deal with the other side of polyamory by feeling all those stupid, pointless, ridiculous feelings one feels when one’s partner finds happiness with someone else and our savannah minds take over—and did not give up, poly for the win! Finished a writing sample with commentary from Chalmers, Bostrom, Yetter-Chappel and others. Did more than 35 pomodoros in a row, twice. Had a good chat with Nick Beckstead and Nevin Freeman over skype, lovely decent smart gentleman working for the good of mankind, my favourite. Filled in more forms than ever before, and I’m as good at filling out forms as you are good at fishing with a spear. Oh, and I gave a friend advice he considered life saving, in the sense that he would have become a self he didn’t wish to be, had he not stuck with me to the end of my explanation. Oh, and I got 114⁄120 in the TOEFL test, which is better than 96 out of 100 test takers aprox.
Nah, correlation and causation problems here… but most of the info came during the diet, so you could try and force feed that argument (pun intended).
I mean, she found happiness with other people for a few nights, but we still find happiness together, maybe I made it look like I was left too, which was not the case, kudos on dealing with your thing though!
I guessed so because I lost 6kg in the critical 6 weeks.
stupid, pointless, ridiculous feelings.
I didn’t consider my feelings stupid or ridiculous.
Hate would have been stupid because it would have destroyed too much for no comparable reason.
Excessive jealousy would have been ridiculous but the jealousy I felt was appropriate. I considered polyamory. I didn’t rule it out on moral grounds. But my feelings of jealousy about their behavior didn’t allow it. I don’t know whether it had been different if she had loved us both equally.
Most astounding was the feeling when I gave up my love for her; when I realized that in truth she didn’t love me. I could feel it leaving me in a few days. Strange.

Kudos! That’s a pretty impressive list. Hope your weight stays off with no side effects. Feel free to elaborate on the “life-saving advice”.
As someone who’s recently had problems doing 5, this impresses the hell out of me.
