Success, for Once

So, I did well, much better than last week.  I still cut lots of calories today, but I was far better on a relative scale.  I had breakfast, for one thing, which made a big difference all on its own, even though it was less than what I would have had at home.  Lunch was very light, but I had a damn good dinner.  It was a lecture/banquet, so I couldn't order my own food (!).  But what they had was good. (I am a scientist, you know, but I am utterly clueless as to how the shrimp gets INSIDE the chicken before they cook it...).  As soon as I tasted the green beans I could tell they were cooked with butter, but I ate them anyway.  

So in a nutshell, yes, ED was still riding on my shoulder all day, but this time it wasn't crushing me.  Anorexia can kiss my ever-growing derriere.

The interview went well.  Love this prof, the school is really nice, and he officially offered me the position.  

That's the good news.  The bad news is that the interview went well, I loved the prof, the school is nice, and he officially offered me the position.  This makes my life very difficult.  I have it narrowed down to three options, but it is going to be so incredibly, indescribably hard to decide.  For once, there is something more urgent to obsess about than my calorie budget.  In a way this is good for me, but I am so uber-stressed, this is going to be probably the most important choice I have made in my career so far, and will pretty much determine the direction of my career in the future.  Eeek.  Eeek.  Eeek.  Stress. Stress. Stress.

I will have all day to contemplate (a nice euphemism for "obsess about") this on the drive home tomorrow, so I should try to sleep now.  Overall: I am keeping with my goals so far, the main challenge will be not to fall into ultra-restriction while sitting in the car all day again tomorrow.
