Starving Artists Day 5

OK, so, I never blogged about Day 5 of starvation.
The thing is, on day 4 I had a mini break down. A starvation break down.
I struggled to finish my fourth piece, and ran home, where I sat on the couch to watch a movie. I really just wanted to cry. If my roommate hadnt been home I would have caved and eaten something! Thankfully, he was there, and I would have felt REALLY guilty if I had caved.
So I managed to torture myself through the night. Waking up in the morning I didnt feel so bad! Then Scott Debus came to pick me up, to go do Lowcountry Live. Driving in the car Scott says "This is going to be fun, I'm sleep deprived and you're starving'. Did anyone consider this BEFORE sending us two fools off to be on TV. I think not!
I felt stoned. Am I allowed to confess that? Well, like I care, I wasnt ACTUALLY stoned!
We got through Lowcountry Live, with minimal embarrassment. Scott dropped me home and I had to go to the Drug Store to develop a photo reference for my Day 5 painting. This is where things went downhill. Standing at the check out counter, WHY WHY, do they have to put ALLL the candy RIGHT there! I stared, my mouth watered, my stomache cried out in agony, "EAT, please woman EAT!" So I did the unthinkable, I grabbed the biggest bag of peanut M&M's and ran. (well, I paid first). I sat in the car and ate those M&M's like a girl who hasnt eating in 5 days! I guess thats where my story ends. I didnt make it to the end. Now that it's over I'm SO happy to be eating again! I do think the experience was interesting. I've learned that I can, survive and work, without food. It's not just the lack of food thing though. The point is, how many times do we make excuses about things, I cant paint/work/excersize, today because my head hurts, I'm feeling sluggish, I'm down, I'm not in the mood. Well, guess what! Our bodies are built strong, and our minds are even stronger. 7 people, just proved that we can overcome those mind games, we can say YES I CAN!
