I'm not a crafty person, dont have the patience and generally dont like the results either, lol, not into country style decorating, patchwork etc etc. Give me a stark, minimalist modern interior any day.

Although I did have quite a successful business sewing cloth diapers for a while there, and enjoyed it thoroughly.

But overall, my hobbies would have to be running, the computer and filling my pandora Bracelet. Nearly done, am going to have to start another bracelet soon!

I have done just about everything as far as creative hobbies. I don't have much time, but I do manage to organic garden, and because I have to cook anyway, I do gourmet cooking. Right now I am making jewlery.

Hello All,

My hobby is raising these adorable furbabies. I have owned 7 of these babies myself. I lost one back in 2004, and one this past September. My baby is the chocolate colored one. Her name is PJ. I keep only two of them in the house. PJ and Jellybean. (The two together in the chair). I love newborn shih tzu babies!

I was enrolled in college until I graduated this past quarter!:whoo:I finally got my associates degree in supervisory management. I don't know what I'll be doing with all my free time now!

Animal Rescue

I do animal rescue. I have been in rescue for about 7 yrs. The group I work with is great. We take dogs/cats from hig-kill shelters and some owner surrenders that would other wise be put to sleep. We have them completley vetted- Spayed/neutered, vaccinated etc, and they stay in our homes until they are adopted out the their forever home.

I have seen some VERY terrible things in this line of "hobby"

It is pretty much a ful time job with no pay...however no monetary amount could out weigh the joy of knowing that the pets we save are now in loving forever homes and not left alone to die in a shelter or worse.

We are a small group so we cant pf course save them all and we are non profit so work on donation alone..

I have to admit that its a very expensive hobby....alot of our personal money goes into helping these babies and feeding them..but its worth it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
