Great Weight Loss Tip - Take Photos of Your Food

I'm an avid cook and regularly take pictures of my foods...and I post them to face book because I like to make all of my friends who don't know how to cook jealous. I guess my biggest issue would be defining healthy...I mean overwhelmingly my diet is chalk full of nutrition...but I don't shy away from a doughnut either and most certainly don't feel guilt or shame for having some delicious treat.

At anyrate...a little food porn...


Little homemade BBQ done out on the back patio in my smoker...


Love me some beef tacos...


Mmmm...homemade Juevos Rancheros with bacon and mixed berries


Some fixin's for my coconut shrimp entree...a summer favorite.


A summer Saturday lunch out on the patio favorite...Israeli Couscous and my homemade tuna salad over a bed of spinach greens, served along side steamed broccoli, radishes, and grape tomatoes w/avocado.

I heard a great tip on one of my friends blogs the other day and I thought it was just brilliant. She suggested that you take pictures of your food. Not to post it on Facebook or something - I don't think fat-shaming is healthy or productive, but to just create more awareness of what you are eating.

If it's a healthy meal, you can look at the picture and smile and feel proud of yourself. And if you are tempted to eat something unhealthy, maybe knowing that you have to take a picture of it will make you stop and think twice about your choice. I think you could take a picture of a case full of donuts and then walk away telling yourself that you were tempted to treat yourself to one, but that you are choosing to be healthy instead.

I'm going to try it - anyone want to join me?

My heath coach just mentioned this tip to me...she suggested doing it during those times where I am a little busy to log. She said to snap a picture of my meal and log it later, that way I wont forget what I ate!
