Day 36 - the number of inches in a yard (for those of you who use metric! haha)loooong day today, as usual, but something different. good day for fun and experience, but not so great for eating, oops! good stuff first. i did my first commercial today! i didnt speak or anything but i had to wear a harness, pretend i was falling out of the sky, and then landing in front of a casino (its a casino commercial). it was really fun and the director LOVED me! i was so happy. i did such a good job and the director really upped my confidence. and during the time i was off camera and hanging out (there's sooo much more hanging out than "working") i was just chit chatting with the other actors and the crew members. sorry guys, i think its only gonna be shown locally, maybe all of caifornia if we're lucky. but good times definitely. now onto my eating. i started off good, and then lunch time came around. they served us fried chicken, mac and cheese, cole slaw and potato salad. seriously?!? i had a piece of chicken, mac and cheese (which i dont really like that much) and 2 rolls. its was probably the unhealthiest lunch i have ever been served on a set but, it was free and i had to eat something! later, the after lunch foods came out and there was the temptation. they had bite-size brownies, mini reese's, and mini chocolate bars (amongst other things that dont need to be mentioned cuz i didnt care about them) that i just couldnt resist. unfortuneately i found myself picking at all that junk for the rest of the day. i didnt really feel bad about it though, which is a good thing. but then by the end of the day my stomach was not liking me very much. so when i got home i felt i needed to put something healthy in it and i had a granola bar, peanuts, and cereal throughout the evening. i dont feel much better but oh well, i tried. so i had a bad eating day...atleast i didnt binge! tomorrow will be healthier, as will the next few days too! i will make sure of that. besides, i havent had a bad eating day since tuesday (my candy corn nightmare). so since i've been so good for a few days i dont feel as bad about today. but now i HAVE to watch myself for the next couple days and make sure i get back on track. its so funny how one day i can brag about not eating things at a buffet and then today write about how i kept going back for more. but the difference between the two is that the buffet was gone once i left the restaurant but the stuff i had today was within reach allllll day. i could have tried harder to stay away from it all but it just happened to be near where the most logical place for me to stand was. better luck next time!

glad you are not being hard on yourself... sounds like you did not feel out of control, so that is good!
YUP, sounds like you did great to me. if you didnt binge and just picked at it all day, you acted like any other normal person would act in that situation. Progress, not perfection my friend. You are still doing amazing.
