But something else was going on in our house this week. We have declared war on SUGAR. We are in the process of cutting out sugar and as a result cutting out most processed food. So, when I was present in my house this week - I was preparing food, eating food or thinking about food.

My relationship with food has always been a difficult one. I love food. I eat when I'm bored, I eat when I'm tired, and I've always eaten for comfort in times of stress. And I've tried different diets over the years with various amounts of success and failure. I had a hard time for a number of years with the outpouring of encouragement and adoration when I was at my skinniest and have fought for ways to get back there. This journey though, is not about being skinny. It's about caring enough for myself to treat myself the way I should. I know weight loss will be part of this journey, but it's about changing my lifestyle, changing my committments to myself and really becoming a healthier person.

I originally imagined what I wanted to capture as retro, and what I ended up with was quite different but something I love just as much. In that way I am finding photography a lot like writing - sometimes you don't write the story, the story writes you.

And for the record, cutting out sugar has already given Ron and I a fast and enouraging weight drop. A nice added bonus.
