Anyone else turn to art therapy when you feel a crash coming along.

Does it help you to get your mind off eating?

    I say do whatever helps you take your mind off food. For me, it's gaming or house work. Others may find time for other things.

    I like knitting socks, it is challenging.

    My brother found art therapy helpful for improving his mental state in general. I'm less creative and cardio, especially outdoors in nature, works for me.

    I do. Art is so relaxing for me and takes my mind off mindless snacking.

    Does crochet count? It helps keep me from wanting to eat in front of the tv. Its technically a craft but I couldn't draw or paint if my life depended on it.
