Day 0

It will be interesting to put the pictures side by side, to observe the changes week by week, if any, because if there aren't any, then unfortunately I'll have to burn down the building.

In the afternoon, I went to Kaiser's to buy the first batch of food for about 2 weeks. It's worth buying your diet-specific items in advance, except for ham, which should be bought fresh in the morning. Buy fish, meat, and vegetables exclusively at a market. I once bought tomatoes at Tesco; they were unripe and hard for a while, then the next day I went into the kitchen, and they started to rot. I'm not kidding, they died within 8 hours. I don't even want to think about what processes might be happening in meat.

I entertained the thought of having a pizza on the last night, but then I talked myself out of it, and I'd talk anyone else out of it too. Let's get into the mindset for these 70 days now. At least we'll get a little taste of what awaits us in the next two months. I'd rather go for a walk and clear my head. A little preparation, a little fear of failure, but I feel the determination growing stronger. The first 10 days are the hardest; after that, the stomach shrinks and adapts to the new, smaller portions, which will still be about 6 times more nutritious than what you've eaten until now.

The plateaus caused by physical exertion cannot be planned. They just come, and when they do, they come suddenly. It's very easy to manage this. OVERCOME IT MENTALLY. Regarding the physical endurance of the human body, in '41, when the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, the infantry covered an average of 73 km daily with 15-30 kg of gear, often in -20 degrees Celsius, for weeks on end!!! That was fitness. And those soldiers weren't some damn G.I. Joes either, but citizens who were conscripted. I'm not far wrong if I say they weren't helped by any vitamins or carefully prepared meals. And it wasn't as if rest was some soothing, cozy sleep. So if anyone thinks their conformist life is so hard now because of workouts and diet, they can really just suck it up.

Hmm... This is the first time I feel like I'm going to see this through. Not by chance was this blog born either. Before bed, I watched "The Haunting." It was really awful; I can only recommend it to everyone, so I'm not the only one who has to suffer through it, and I was thinking that next time I won't be able to eat "normal" food again until the end of March.

The thought hurt so much that I'd rather fall asleep. Now, it's hats off, coats on, we start tomorrow. Anyone who knows who said this is just as retarded as the person I quoted (I knew, be careful).

Update: I am publishing the pictures at the request of the Heincz's daughter.
