Lorenzo
Thanksgiving taxed him twice — and he finally saw it.
Special Days — Double taxation
Special Day double taxation: heavy Day Load the night of, then weaker Night Recovery and a fuller Recently Gained Weight the morning after.
Nov 27: "Thanksgiving heavy meal expected." Nov 28: "Hosting + alcohol expected."
Treating social spikes as one-day events instead of two-day physics.
Why Lorenzo joined
Weekends erased Lorenzo's weekdays. He needed to see party nights as Special Days — not cheats to hide.
Day 5 — First tax: Day Load
Thanksgiving PM — Day Load hit +5.0 lb, one of his highest in the window. Lorenzo tagged Special Day. The app did not scold; it quarantined the spike from his weekday baseline.
Day 6 — Second tax: Night Recovery
Hosting friends the next night — another heavy Day Load. But Monday's story was also about Night Recovery underperforming: Recently Gained Weight full, AM still elevated. Double taxation.
What tagging changed
Special Day labels kept the Recent gain model honest. Lorenzo's Tuesday forecast stopped pretending Thursday's party was a normal Thursday.
Day 14 — Work off recent gain
He did not "make up for" the holiday in one hero day. He logged PM Checkpoints through recovery until Recently Gained Weight drained. Slow, visible, real.
