it was my friend's birthday today so we had a bbq. the last time we had a bbq i ate waaaay too much and then went to get more on the way home. this time, i didnt even eat any hot dogs or burgers and just stuck to beer and cake. honestly, i wasnt really hungry for "real food" so i didnt have any since i knew i wanted cake and beer more. i did have some munchies though. but overall it was really successful in the eating department considering the circumstance.  so i'm really pleased with myself for not over doing it at the party, not eating crap afterward, and for having an awesome time with my amazing friends that make me feel so good. life is pretty good right now.
