Alternatives to Eating...

As we all know, head hunger can create havoc and it takes determination to get control over it. When I am off from work, the late afternoon is usually the time I occasionally experience this.

To not give into the head hunger, I am looking for other alternatives. The ones that work include, taking a walk and doing needlework which is something I enjoy but had not done in awhile. It keeps me focused and my hands are full so I can't eat. LOL.

Another thing I enjoy is going to Barnes & Noble, getting a coffee, and looking through the diet and fitness books and magazines. This is a treat that gives me some quiet "me" time away from everyone and lasts about 45 min to an hour. I learn and relax at the same time.

What are other people doing?

Well, hey, when you're done with your house - you wanna come and clean mine wonderwoman?

I spend alot of time on the computer (too much) and it's hard to eat and type, so that's an option ... another, like you, is needlework and walking.

Will be interesting to see what others come up with as well.
