A Special Occasion

The trouble with dieting or trying to eat right after eating wrong for so long is special occasions.
Holidays bring other people who don't have to/aren't bothered to pay attention to what they're eating. You're usually going to places you know have your favorite dishes and suddenly the choice between a salad and nachos or tomato and basil pizza is pretty hard.

My family is especially troublesome, whenever a holiday rolls around we make a week or a weekend about it. Father's Day takes a whole weekend, Mother's Day also (not that they don't deserve it), birthdays usually a whole week. Which means a whole weekend of eating.

Tip of the Day #1: When you find yourself on the lonely island of "i'm trying to lose weight" and find it hard to break former bad habits, the key is to make healthier choices. That could even mean eating two pieces of pizza instead of three or four and pair it with a salad. Water instead of soda. A semi-healthy salad instead of an over-fattening dish. No dessert or frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. You get the idea:

Today: 1 bottle of vitamin water, 1 orange juice, 2 glasses of water, half of a ceasar salad, two bites of mom's pasta, 1/2 of my dad's mashed potatoes.

Total Lost: 3.3 pounds.

Things That Are Awesome:

So Briggite Bardot-esque. I love the bluriness and I'm wondering if this is shot on film or its digital. I'm thinking film but the last image makes me think differently. So. Fucking. Awesome.

by the way, if I haven't let on. I'm a photographer.
