Alternatives to Eating...



Recommended Posts

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
