Memoirs: The End

365 days later... 

   I did it. OMFGBBQ I DID IT!!!
   One whole year of documenting everything that I've eaten. 
   Everything. 

As I took a bite of my carrot muffin this morning, it suddenly hit me that I no longer had to take pictures of everything I ate. It felt soooo liberating yet left a strange sense of emptiness in my daily routine. Withdrawal? Probably... but this is one routine that I'm happily retiring.

Reflections... 

- A day isn't properly started without either a bowl of cereal or a granola bar and a cup of coffee with some fancy creamer.
- I could survive solely on ramen, japanese curry, and beer.
- Documenting your food is a good way to curb snacking.
- Camera phones are the key to success.
- My friends like to give me stuff just so I give them a "courtesy of" nod on my blog.
- People actually care about what I eat??? :') 

Thanks to everyone that... 

- put up with my picture taking during meals (I've trained some of you well!)
- lent me their phones when mine ran out of batteries
- strategically fed me
- followed along on this crazy project of mine
