Day Four: I Need A System
Ugh. I am behind in my posts and as a result I have a million pictures of food saved on my computer desktop but no idea which meal went with which day. Since I can’t even remember what I ate for breakfast today, this makes it difficult. I am going to do the best I [...]
Day Three: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of the Time to Take Pictures of My Food At Family Gatherings
It is the Fourth of July and I failed to capture what I ate at my family’s party. Honestly, I didn’t even think about it. Probably because most of my time was spent handing the baby around and chasing my son. Even though my in laws are really great with the kids and play with [...]
Day Two: Rumbly In My Tumbly
No, I wasn’t super hungry today. I seemed to have a bit of a stomach bug, which is why I had ginger ale. I almost never drink soda but when I feel queasy, I love ginger ale. It probably doesn’t help but I feel like it does. Anyway, here is my day: I think I [...]
Day One: Deja Vu
And so it begins…again. I have a very busy week so this post is short and sweet (well, not sweet really- not a sweet in sight). Here’s what I ate: Yes, I ate a slice of cheese and a piece of toast for breakfast. You don’t know what my mornings look like. Stop judging.
Lose Yourself
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? -Eminem I’m back. I am sure you can see that I let it slip because I haven’t been posting my photos or witty dietary commentary for a few [...]
Day Eight: Rewarding Rewards
The See Food Diet works. This week I lost five pounds. I am very happy with the loss and encouraged that the See Food Diet passed its first test. This week’s success has me thinking, how can we reward ourselves without food? In the past, when I have had a good week on a diet, [...]
Day Seven: Does This Toddler Make Me Look Fat?
No, I am not complaining about baby weight. Today I am examining the problem of the Mommy Diet. The Mommy Diet works like this: you eat whatever you would normally eat during a day but supplement it by eating everything your toddler or child doesn’t finish. Before the beginning of the See Food Diet, I [...]
Day Six: Crazy Train
Today was one of those days that everyone has when they are “on a diet.” I assume people with “a lifestyle” have these days too but I wouldn’t know. I understand the concept of the lifestyle change but I guess it just hasn’t clicked for me yet. Maybe it will sometime during this experiment. “They” [...]
Day Five: Does This Beer Make Me Look Fat?
Day Five. Only a few more days to go and we can see what the scale thinks of the See Food Diet. At this point, I have essentially stopped calculating calories (I will probably still do it from time to time especially when I think I may be eating too much or too little) and [...]
Day Four: A Pistachio Problem
So, Day Four brought with it my first real challenge on the See Food Diet. Trigger Foods. You know- those foods that once you have eaten a little you want more…more…more…one more helping please…oh, you insist, of course I’ll eat the whole bag/container/thing/pie/vermonster. This causes some real internal conflict when you are photographing everything you [...]
