Job

The good news: I got a waitressing job. The training day is next Tuesday, and after that they'll put me on the first shift available. Shifts range anywhere from 4-12 hours. You can't smoke, you can't turn up late, and you get fined if they catch you eating any of the food or drinking any of the alcohol. The uniform is strict black shirt and trousers, hair off the face. You must arrive in impeccable condition, and they make you work pretty hard, especially if you're catering for a big event. Am I the only one who thinks this is a golden opportunity to lose more weight?

I'm also meeting a lady this afternoon who needs help looking after her 5yr old son. An au pairing job, basically. If I get that too, I'll not only be earning quite a bit of money, but I'll be active and distracted pretty much all week long.

The bad news: I'm still fat. 147.2 lbs as of this morning. I'm giving myself a 650 calorie limit for the next few days. Hopefully by Saturday (the day of the shoot) I'll be 145 max. Saltines, fruit, coffee and cigarettes will get me through.
