How to change the size of the particles over distance traveled

Question

I'm using a verticle blend texture to change the size of the particles the more they go up, to mimic a stylised blocky fire. It works, but the starting size of the particles change over time as well. So it looks like the "fire" is getting bigger and bigger over time. While I want it to be a constant starting size, and getting smaller the more it goes up.

maybe this answer will help: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/114300/how-to-affect-particle-size-over-time/114310 — moonboots, Dec 06 '20 at 08:28
I followed those steps, and I'm still getting the same issue — Newbie, Dec 06 '20 at 12:53
it should not, maybe share your file (just the emitter with its object)? https://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/ — moonboots, Dec 06 '20 at 13:02

Use the method explained here. In the file you share the problem is probably that your gradient is vertical when it should be horizontal:
