Next time you think losing weight takes a lot of time....

Recently I have eaten in the dinning hall with some wrestlers and competitors in judo from Slovakia (I fit right in :))). Attila Batky pointed to his Hungarian colleague and told me that the guy has seven more days to lose 7.5 kilos (about 17 pounds) to compete in his category. The poor guy had an apple for lunch! I have found out that these guys often don't drink for up to two days before they are weighed and then they have one day to get their bodies back to normal. It seems so crazy, but I guess the system is better than it used to be (they used to weigh them in the morning and they competed the same day!).

I felt extra guilty having an extra piece of cake for dessert that day....
