I like your hair in that pic, prefer it even.

Funny you mention that I actually like it but always got the idea that this was wrong and probably my being misty eyes and sentimental at having gotten home alive because every other person I have met has hated that hair. I wonder now if it isn't because the hair at the front with the individual wave is not particularly manly and reminds people of a style more of a woman: people are odd that way some times with ideas of what people are supposed to look like.

The hair stayed that way for a long time but eventually went away because the natural oils cannot stay that way when washed. Interestingly though I came back looking healthy with a tan but walking badly because I am not a naturally good walker.

What may interest you is the way the body adapt itself because we would assume the body would lose fat simple as that but what happened is that the body adapted to the extreme demands of what was happening and very quickly as my legs were muscular and inflexible I lives off the excess leg muscle until I had enough flexibility. I do think though that the human body is mainly evolved to walk large distances and not eat regularly: starve from time to time. i actually tried to maintain this but its difficult to walk that far because I live too far from anywhere to travel anywhere I would want to walk by foot. Also find fasting difficult.

Part of the reason I posted the picture: or a link to it; is because one would assume that someone newly tortured would look bad and yet I actually think I looked pretty good: certainly healthy. Ironically the drugs they put into me has probably had less negative effects: probably none: than the lifestyle I have had regularly for years: bad food.

The thing I noticed is that the body can adapt in ways unexpected like losing muscle very fast in the placed where its a disadvantage or unneeded. In fact too much exercise is probably a disadvantage to fitness because you end up losing some muscle. But I have heard that in tropical climates you are supposed to sit still on a chair in the sun and sweat and the body will remove excess fat and muscle so you can function in that temperature. Pretty much the same thing occurred except I was moving and it was not summer so not that hot just sunny although it was a tropical climate. There is probably an ideal fitness plan to deal with situations like that but I am not the person to do it all the time it would be too bloody hard.
