To the FOOD bloggers: How do you deal with food photo overload?

I know that y'all are seeing endless, beautiful, enticing food photography all day on Twitter, IG, Pinterest, FB, etc. It's just a part of what we do and most of the time, it's pretty fun. At least for me. The trouble is, I get cravings for the things I see and get hungry even if I've just eaten. Aaand then I'm tempted to and/or make poor choices.

My questions to you are:
1) Does this happen to you, and
2) What do you do about it?

Personally, I'm thinking of diversifing my content because I'm starting to feel like my passion has become an obsession..and parts of it aren't the most healthy thing.

I try to limit my "food surfing time". Otherwise it is easy for me to spend hours infront of a screen in different food sights looking at recipes. But food surfing is also a great source of inspiration for me and I wouldn't want to be without it.

Hmmm...very good point. I get hungry all the time too. The joys of food blogging! My solution is to always have something in the fridge that I CAN eat. Especially healthy dessert options. Like popsicles, lemon bars, mug cake ingredients, and lots of celery and almond butter. Luckily, a lot of processed-free vegan food keeps in the freezer really well or I'd be up a creek. Also, if you don't keep thevegan8's butterfingers in the freezer, START!

Ha ha - I actually did notice I was snacking a bit more after I launched my blog! Perhaps we need to take same approach recommended for food shopping - only look at food photos on a full stomach!
