It helps me by keeping me busy which keeps me from compulsively eating. I tend to want to eat when i get bored.

    I don't need as much sleep as I used to. When the rest of the family is sleeping, food will sometimes call to me, working on a quilt will give me something to do that distracts me from the food sounds.

    Exactly! If I've got busy hands, they can't grab food. Plus, it helps that I've moved my sewing room to the downstairs so I'm not near the kitchen anymore! LOL

    I do a lot on knitting which keeps my hands busy and away from food.

    What do you like to knit. I enjoy knitting everything, making socks is favorite. I find that doing things like sewing and knitting does keep me busy and less likely to cheat.
