Hi Kai,

I'm happy to hear "shugging" is going so well for you
(I'm going to have to collect all these endearing
terms that have been proposed in the groups into a
single page soon). Though it does sound like you might
be ready to upgrade soon, beware The Progress Trap
(more fearsome than the Spoctopid). It's better to do
too light too long than the other way around. To use a
business term, you don't want to promote yourself to
your level of incompetence. You might want to force
yourself to go a month longer or so at the current
weight just as an exercise in stickwithitude. Make the
upgrade a reward, not an obligation.
