    because if I have nothing to do, all I think about is food. Food makes me happy, I know that is sad but it is true. I have anxiety issues and few close friends so food is my comfort. I am not creative but need a hobby to keep me busy on weekends. I do volunteer work but I need something for my time at home. My sons no longer need me all the time so now I can do things I enjoy but I can't figure out how they translates into a hobby? I like taking pictures but my kids are tired of me chasing them around with my phone. They are now 19 and 14. Hubby has a hobby but I am not interested in fixing lawn mowers. What hobbies do you all have and/or what do you do so that you don't eat when you are bored or have down time?

    I ride my bike a lot...especially weekends...a Sunday morning is a great time to hit the road for 4 hours or so.

    I like to crochet and paint. Both very relaxing even if they turn out awful. But once you get good at it you can make Christmas gifts! I also picked up guitar. You can learn pretty much anything on YouTube! And if you want to get some exercise walking/running some trails is always good for clearing the mind. Hope this helps!

    Thanks for all the suggestions. My hubby and son are gamers. I have a 14 yr old and a 19 yr old, and they definitely do for themselves now. We do bowl and go to the movies sometimes. My oldest is in college 4 hrs away from home. I like the sound of knitting. How do I get started on learning how to do it?
    There's a bunch of tutorials online and video tutorials on youtube. Many craft stores and yarn stores also offer classes.

    I write erotica, make jewelry and use a loom to knit. I can draw and paint but there's only so many things one can do. Oh, I also sew. I love making costumes. I'm avoiding sewing at the moment but once I loose 20 or 30lbs I'll start altering my current wardrobe. When I get close to my goal I'll start making new cloths.

    Crochet, quilting, beading, lots of crafty things that would be fairly easy. Reading. Biking,

    So many good suggestion so far! I come read the forums when I want to eat out of boredom. It helps a lot! Reading success stories too :)

    I think exercise would be great to keep your mind and body occupied.
