My pretty food! #1

I've embarked on a new journey of accountability. My daddy was always great with a camera. He takes fantastic landscape and nature photos. I've been playing a lot on my iPhone and camera apps. There are some amazing things one can do with them! I'm also learning GIMP, which is a lot like Photoshop. I've been having loads of fun with photography the last year or so.

I've also found I'm NOT having much fun or enjoyment with my food, something that used to bring me a lot of joy! I'm not going to get into all the reasons why right now, that's for another time. But a recent goal of mine is to determine emotional food cues and deconstruct them. I've found that written food journals don't work for me because I forget to write them down, or I forget the journal so then I have my meals written on receipts or napkins which float around and get lost.

Digital logs don't work for me either! I don't have my phone with me, or I don't have access to a computer so I have to write it down somewhere (refer to paragraph 2).Then I have to lie, not always on purpose, but I forget one meal or whatever. Argh!!! So, I have found one that has been making me happy in a couple ways: I get to use the new apps and that makes me much more cognitive and mindful of my food! Score!

I shared my photo food journal idea with a few people and they all wanted to see what I was doing and what I was eating. So, I get to share my great stuff with them and all of you. I've set it in my mind that this will continue until I've reached a couple of my goals- all pertinent to this project. So, it will end when I feel like it:)

I forgot to click my 2 vodka drinks we enjoyed that day- oops!

My coffee and smoothy pic was lost in the mix. So, picture the creamy coolness of both in your imagination:)

We went out for Cold Stone that night and I forgot to click it. It was a truly regretted move in more ways than one! It was so bad I couldn't even finish it! Ugh!

The salad has my leftover ahi on it from the night before, you just can't see it well. I also enjoyed ONE cookie at a party we went to that night- not pictured due to the grapefruit Perrier vodka drink I had which made me mindless...in more ways than one.

There is a group of loving ladies I send these to on the daily, and they've truly supported me! I just wanna send a big grin their way and a HUGE thank you for your continued love:) Muah!
