I am a food porn addict.  I became one just out of college when I was performing children's theatre and had no money.  I had no cable, so I watched a lot of cooking shows on public access TV.  I began to fall in love with the food of many different nations by watching cooking shows on my days off from touring.  Fast forward to this blog, Snapchat, and Instagram and my food porn addiction has bloomed into a true obsession.  Some people like taking pictures of themselves.  I like taking pictures of the food I make, eat, and order.  I love looking back on great meals that I have had.  My Instagram page reflects that love of food.  I devour the food conquests of others as well.  Doing random searches for pics of beautiful food porn on Pinterest. My Pinterest Page has several different boards devoted to food and drink from tea parties to holiday feasts. 
(A few of my food boards are Pancakes Pancakes and ... and Love Joy & Faith's: Foods Worth Breaking For
Pic is from my post Birthday Birthday And Again Birthday.

When I am on a diet my food porn addiction takes over my life.  I spend hours on a bender, forgoing sleep at times.  I begin making plans of where I am going to eat and what I am going to eat when I go off my diet.  Depending on my diet I try to make delicious and amazing meals and if you follow me on Youtube you can see my effort to make my diet meals food porn as well.  In fact, before I go on a diet my food porn addiction begins to focus on foods that are suitable for whatever particular diet I am going to start.  My Pinterest boards (Alkaline Diet, Raw Food or VegetarianLow Carb, Atkins, Keto Diet, Paleo Diet, Meat Diet) and Youtube post and searches also reflect my desire to begin my diet.  When I look back at past post on all my social media pages I notice that a diary of sorts is being written.  Sometimes I post with that intention in mind, but most times I post because who doesn't love food porn?

Lately I have been experimenting on ways to have my cake and eat it, too.  I want to eat what I want when I want.  I also want to diet when I want and be able to decide in the middle of the day that no, I don't want to diet.  This is almost impossible, especially on the Keto diet, but I did find a way to make it work (click here: will post blog soon).  I really am proud and happy when I experience a great meal and I want to share it.  I wish I could be as happy taking selfies of myself, I might actually have my perfect body if I did, but food carries a memory and taste can be a living record.  Great food can become a moment all on its own.  Food porn is for me at least a part of my perfect self and there in lies the problem.  To take my love of food to a whole new level I want to be beautiful while making these memories.  It is frankly time for me to start my diet while accepting who I am which is a lover of food.  Looking beautiful while recording my food porn is a goal that is at odds with itself.  It is a hell.  Beginning a diet not beginning a diet creates a push and pull that I could argue is unnecessary.  Still though, walk with me through Dante's Inferno because my post, pins, blogs, vlogs and tweets evolve, devolve and evolve again based on this hellish goal linked to this divine food porn addiction.
