Day 57pretty good day today. i did audience work from 1130am to 530pm. people dont really know this but when you watch game shows on tv (except the price is right of course) most of the audience there is getting paid. so i got paid today to watch 6 episodes of family feud, lol. i dont get paid too much but its money. it was so cute at the last show though cuz 2 small groups of old people came in to watch for fun. awww!for lunch, me and a friend of mine went to Arby's cuz it was the closest place in walking distance. i was a little concerned about going for fast food but i ended up getting a grilled chicken sandwich with no sauce and no fries. i was proud of myself for not getting fries and not having any of my friend's when she offered. it actually wasnt even hard for me to say no to myself and her. i really had no desire for them. and to think, they USED to be my favorite food.also, last night i was at a different show and they passed out candy in the middle. there were only 3 of us in my row and they gave us a shitload. we each had a coupple pieces and none of us wanted the rest. so i decided to pack it in my purse and save it for a later time. during that evening i had 2 milky ways (and these are the tiny ones, not the fun size), 1 3 musketeers, and 1 jolly rancher. that was it even though i had a pocket full in my purse. even when i got home i didnt have any. today i've had 1 laffy taffy, a tootsie roll, and sweet tarts. that's it. i still have 7 pieces left and they will not be consumed tonight and i wont finish them off tomorrow either. i'm really proud of myself for not eating them all cuz i know i've had trouble in the past having sweets in my apt. but i guess its something i can handle right now. i have serious weight loss goals and they're not going to be achieved by eating candy....or atleast not too much! i love having days when i overcome challenges like being in a place where i dont order fries or saying no to the candy 2 ft away from me. it makes me feel like i've really gotten somewhere. not that i need these moments to make me realize this, but its a nice reminder. i hope you all overcome your challenges today too.

Well i never knew that. I thought the people in the audience were from the general public!! You\'re doing so well. Like you say its great to overcome our challenges and kick some serious ass!! Have a great Sunday:)
I am truely impressed by how you manage to eat foods that you love/ used to binge on but only in proportion. You\'re doing fantastically! I am not quite ready for those challenges yet but its great to know it can be done! What an exciting and varied job/ career you have too!
Great job!! That\'s wonderful that you are able to control yourself even when given the opportunity to overeat or binge.
overcoming challenges and feeling GOOD about it! what a wonderful concept! your mindset is very healthy. i\'m happy to hear that you are able to choose which foods and how much you would like to eat. you are living for yourself. awesome
