I’m not sure how days go by so quickly – I do keep up with my food collages pretty much daily, but all of a sudden I’ve got a bunch of them that haven’t been posted. When I started these I was involved with a web fitness community where I posted them every day, along with my workouts and a bit of reflection about how the day had gone. Although I still reflect on these as I’m putting them together, I miss the daily semi-public reflection of that time. Perhaps part of my hesitation about posting these daily is that keeping an account of what I eat every day does seem like a very personal process. I’ve been very willing to share it in response to inquiries and interest, and it is helpful in keeping me accountable (knowing it will be public does keep me from going too far beyond healthy eating parameters). But when I post for some time without feedback that these postings are useful to others as well, I get shy.
When I see someone in person who I haven’t seen in a while and the first thing they say is how much they enjoy these food photos, that can sustain my posting confidence for some time. But I’m always glad to hear about how you see all this or if it has any impact on you – or just anything that will remind me that I’m not just posting these for myself. Please do comment here on the blog or over in Facebook or Google+ – I’d love to hear from you and promise to respond!
