What is your new addiction?

My new addiction is knitting. I can't say it's buying yarn is less expensive than food, but at least it doesn't end up on my hips! My house is beginning to look like a scarf factory ....

This has been my true test lately. Dh has a serious injury with complications that is requiring him to be off work for a year and is on his 4th surgery tomorrow (with6 more to go). I have been craving lifting free weights more than anything. Not eating, drinking, or smoking. I need to feel my muscles work hard and then I feel immensely better. I am so happy I did not automatically turn to Ben and Jerrys!

I am now a gambler. It is scary, because I never GAVE my money away and am very much a control person. Now, I find myself filling the time I used to devote to eating and the money I spent on food going to gambling. My husband has always enjoyed the horse races, but not me. But darn those slot machines have got me. This is the first weekend I haven't been to the gambling boat. I explained to my DH that being out of control with my money scares me. And, since my father was alcoholic, I have to be careful. You know, predisposed to addictions. I don't want to trade a food addiction for a gambling addiction or any other addiction. I just want to be a normal, healthy person. Is that too much to ask?

I am into reading or being on the computer lately. It has been like an addiction in that I constantly seem to need to keep my mind busy. I am sure this taking place of some of the time spent eating in the past :0)

Reading suspense novels! And checking out this website. And trying new Protein powders all the time. Better than eating I would think.

I am obessed with cooking/food/nutrition/recipes... No joke. I will spend 2-4 hours cooking something and eat 1/2 a cup of it. It's just my thing now. I watch endless cooking shows and tips... I have tons of magazines, bookes, cookbooks. You can never learn too much I think that when I go out to eat though I think of ways I can always make their recipe better lol.

My second addiction is shopping. I do it atleast once a month.. I probably own about 20 pairs of jeans right now and will have to replace them again very shortly.
