I actually think that is probably a good thing? like, you were already quite thin, so when London came and ate away at you with a piranha there was not much left!
Also, I've found out where to get mango lassi, which is: Asian supermarkets. They sell it in cans! If you can get it in Berlin, I'm sure you can get it in America ... though it's a pain to get to any Asian supermarkets in DC. I think. Or at least, it always seemed like such a pain that I never bothered to go.
I put back on all the weight I lost at the start of being in London from being unhappy/not having food by baking/discovering that they sell Phish Food, so it balanced out fast! But after Europe I went to visit relatives who fed me constantly! It'll all come off when I go home and I eat Lean Cuisine because no one's bothered to make dinner, but right now MY PANTS ARE TIGHT WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THE DRYER and it is... a tragedy in a small way. But not enough of a tragedy to stop me from making chocolate chip cookies an hour ago.
And ohooooo. I've noticed that they sell them here in the ethnic foods section, too. There's an Indian supermarket in Boulder but... yeah we're fucked when we're back in DC. Or we can just do it my classy way, which is to simplify the recipe with "dump about equal amounts of yogurt and mango pulp in a cup and mix it a bit."
ohhh, relative-induced weight. I understand completely :( That always happens to me, too, and then they're so happy, and I'm ... less.
ack! I meant mango pulp, but I said mango lassi. Can you get mango pulp at ordinary supermarkets? I don't remember seeing it but I also never looked for it before.
They're all really active. Like, in one family the mom and dad regularly play tennis and run 10k races, the son plays cricket and tennis, and the daughter climbs and races. In the other, the dad has climbed all 280-something of the 3,000 foot hills in Scotland. And... they eat like people with active metabolisms! And I cry. And that's ignoring the great-aunt who used to be a home ec teacher and gave me an eclair within five minutes of walking in the door and stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon the next night.
Oh! I can get it... here. idk about home. In DC, it might be worth just going to an Asian supermarket and loading up on a rolling suitcase worth of the stuff at the start of the semester even if it means going to Maryland.
WHAT. Also: stuffed chicken ... wrapped ... in bacon?! I can't decide if that sounds disgustingly delicious or just disgusting. I kind of think I would rather just have bacon!
That sounds like a good idea to me. It's not like it will ever go bad.

By the way, I finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. You'd probably like it, too.
