I remember this comic book cover as being a first back issue I bought at the Silver Snail in Toronto when it was on Queen West.

Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 96
There’s not enough coffee for this headache. Oh yeah going to be earlier and not having a loud, hot apartment would help too.

I notice with this process of 6 days strict and 1 cheat day is that you become very picky about the food products with which you are willing to participate in a cheat. For example, Tim Bits were brought to work. Three weeks ago I would have thought, “Meh, one won’t hurt.” Now I’m thinking “Are you effing kidding? My cheat day isn’t until tomorrow and there’s no way I’m breaking it on such low quality stuff.

Speaking of cheating, I needed to take a distraught child for a walk on Kits Beach and obtain ice cream from the gelato place. Ice cream has mental health benefits. Quick, someone do a study to prove it. Anyway, I thought about a full on cheat but I could only bring myself to steal a couple of tastes of aforementioned distraught child’s ice cream. I could tell it didn’t do much harm because my body was wanting food before bed, to which I politely told the cravings to go screw themselves.

You have to be compassionate some days, but reserve that for cheat days.
