Diary of a Semi-Health Nut |Food | Fitness | Semi-Healthy Baking: What I Ate

{W.I.A.W.} What. I. Ate. Wednesday.

Never heard of WIAW?
I got the idea from the lovely Jenn at Peas and Crayons and link up to her posts each week. This uber-creative gal also inspired me to be more fun with my photos on my blog, thus the photo collages.

What I do
I (try to) take photographs of each item of food I eat and each item I drink for an entire day (doesn't have to be Wednesday, Wednesday is just the day we share). (Taking photos of all of the food I consume is no easy task...I applaud those who do this on a regular basis.) Then I try to evaluate how well I ate or what areas could use some improvements.

I've also been doing posts that sum up what I've been eating lately. The point is to have a variety of foods, not just a recipe or one food item. :)

Why would you care what I ate?
I'm not vain enough to think that everyone will care, however this can give you some ideas for food for yourself as well as a way to space meals out. There is a thought process out there that those who are "skinny" eat very little food or restrict calories or fat or sweets.

I would like for people to see that this does not have to be the case! I believe a large part of the reason I am the small size that I am is that I allow myself indulgences AND I make sure to listen to my body when I am hungry. Skipping meals is not for me.

(For more on my eating philosophy, see my Semi-Healthy page.)

Basically, I am at a healthy weight and this is how I eat!
