I started it the day after this post and went for just under a week. It did work very well, over a short period of time. For the past few weeks I've been really struggling to keep making good food choices. Beginning the photo blog really forced me to get back on track as I didn't want to blog bad choices. It was however a lot of work and the blog started to feel really monotonous so I stopped after a week. The result was it was the kick start I needed to find my willpower to eat right again. I've been making good choices all this week and feel like I am back on plan. Thought I’d come back and comment on how it worked out for me.

I'm a nurse and I blog, and I often take pictures of my food for my blog. I think this idea is great. I think it would also work really well for primary care providers. Even if a food log is not kept, it would be easy to use to guide people- "Herb, you see how much potato is on your plate, and how little green beans? Next office visit I want you to have twice the greens and half the potato."- It would give providers a good idea of how badly people are eating. Food is much more important than drugs for most DMII- and we as health care advocates could do a lot more to help people understand what is/is not a healthy diet. Thanks for the articles links! Wow.
