What do you do now instead of eating

What do you do when your friends want to hang out, or while your at home on a lazy day?

While your watching tv?

The more I think about things, the more I realize how much I incorporate food into almost every activity...so how do you feel the void?

Actually I'm struggling. I am trying to control the picking at night. I keep my phone in my hands a lot. It's so scary how much I ate/ picked at food. I'm thinking about taking up knitting to keep my hands busy.

I havent gone out with friends. I dont really have any. Ive been secluded for the past several years. I havent come up.with much of a replacement but if I had to pick I would say couponing. Clipping organizing,and planning shopping trips

I've started crocheting. In the 4 weeks since surgery I made 2 hats, 2 scarves, 2 head bands and now I'm working on a totebag! Gotta love YouTube for tutorials!

It's the hardest part because you are right ... So much of our lives revolved around food. I am not much of a tv watcher... So I just always have a water bottle to sip on. I too carry my phone with me like heather... I have the etsy and Pinterist rnytalk apps which are my go-to s.... I wish there was a pill to take with our vitamins to take our minds off food... Lol!!!

While your watching tv? I simply watch tv or sometimes I have Quaker cheddar rice cake stuff. Mini pop corn but I don't have to.

I feel fine. I don't feel food controls my life. I used to eat a lot like 2 plates fill like a mountain of home cook meals. My problem wasn't eating it was the amount in one setting. I didn't spend my whole day eating or watching tv eating chips.
