MON. JANUARY 30
Yesterday I succumbed to a bout of nervous eating.
Why, I'm not sure. I guess just hitting the end of the month -- One month into the year, no income, our resources dripping out slowly (well, not so slowly this month because of the Christmas bills), and what do we have to show for it? One act of a script that maybe no one will want, and no meetings set for any jobs.
So at breakfast I ate a whole buttermilk cruller. Thank God the doughnuts are finally gone!
I did the grocery-shopping yesterday and picked up lunch for myself. I had a ham and cheese foccacia sandwich (am I misspelling foccacia?) and (oops) a small bag of salt-and-vinegar potato chips.
Lee and I worked most all afternoon -- except that we had to pick up the kids and take them to a cat shelter, as the kittens we thought we were going to adopt fell through.
For dinner, I made a huge batch of spaghetti -- and then I had 2 servings, with lots of Parmesan. I was feeling quite bloated after that, so skipped dessert.
Okay, as I look at it, I didn't eat all that much -- but it sure felt like a day of nervous eating. I know the feeling well, as I used to be a binge eater.
But the day ended, thanks be to God, with a call from one of our agents setting up one of those meetings I was nervous about not getting. So maybe I can calm down a bit today...
And today makes it one month that I have been following this particular New Year's Resolution. I know a few of you are actually reading this blog. I would love to hear from you at this one-month point -- just drop me a comment w/ your thoughts.
Today is an all-writing day (my last for almost a week), so I should be at home and away from most temptation. Tonight I am making pasta primavera with stir-fried chicken, unless I get lazy...

Congratulations on the one-month anniversary. Your bravery (to post this for anyone to see) and honesty are admirable and inspiring. Here's to the future - one bite at a time.
