Good Intentions Weren’t Enough
“I didn’t need more good intentions. I needed to act on what mattered.”
This line came out of my weekend writing—about my long-time failure to act in my own best interests. To face my overeating. My binge eating.
The Complex Journey Behind the Food
I’ve moved away from photographing food lately.
What interests me now is the complex psychological journey—
how I made sense of food,
learned to listen to myself,
and started choosing differently
to center my health and lose half my weight.
Transforming the Shadows of Failed New Year’s Resolutions
When I started planning my weight loss, all-or-nothing thinking emerged as one of the biggest reasons around my history of failed New Year’s resolutions.
For me, a New Year’s resolution was always worded in an all-or-nothing mindset and behavior. Over the years, my resolutions usually included variations of the following themes.
I will lose weight.
I will eat healthy foods.
I will avoid unhealthy foods.
I will exercise.
But, my resolutions never took failure into account.
