How do you have fun without eating?

So I realized over the weekend how much my idea of "fun" revolves around food. I love to cook. I love to go out to eat. I love to eat in general! And, really, with four kids I don't have time to go places much unless I go with them, so when I am at home, making or ordering-in food is our primary recreation.
Help, what do you do besides eat for fun?!

Play games, go for walks in the park, go hiking, dance. Most of these are family friendly too! Get the kids, go outside and play a nice rousing game of tag. Great fun and great exercise for all of you!0

Obsessively watch season after season of the West Wing with my boyfriend. Watch Arnie films. Walk around the most boring city on the face of the planet (Southampton, UK), play with my bunny, play solitaire.... i'm really boring.0

You can still cook - explore healthy recipes for you and your family! The internet is a WEALTH of knowledge, and there are SOOOOO many great and HEALTHY recipes out there just waiting for you!!!
Make a challenge of finding new delicious, HEALTHY meals when you go out, and then remember PORTION sizes!!! BBQ time - bring healthy things to share! Get your friends involved in this!! I bet they would LOVE to encourage you, and hey, they could probably use a little push in the right (healthy) direction too!!!0 -

Start a garden to grow some of your own, fresh ingredients - get the kids to help

Food is a self soothe option for many. I am no stranger to it. It is fun! Every party, function or event you go to, your bound to run into food and most likely unhealthy food!
sports, or going to the gym or a yoga class with your friends
shopping! retail therapy baby! keeps you occupied so you're not thinking about food.

going to the park, walking, running, tennis or just lounging around.0 -
