What do you do to kill time that doesn't include inhaling tons of chips and downing glasses of soda?

I know some people who actually list "eating" as a hobby. *facepalm*

    I know it's food-related, but homebrewing is a lot of fun. If you commit to only drinking beer you've brewed yourself, you might actually cut down your intake...

    I'd say gardening is another good one - we have a small city rowhouse, but still have a pretty nice garden in planters. Learning to program (or getting better at it) is something just about anybody who has a computer can do.

    And, of course, there's always the gym. :)

    Our family hobby is going to Disney. We have annual passes and are there frequently. My husband and I enjoy home aquariums.

    Working, studying, cycling places, playing guitar, cooking sweets and preparing good meals for other people, researching health and nutrition, painting, facebook, watching movies with friends, trying new sports, dance classes, going shopping, socialising, reading.
    If you eat when your alone, socialise more. If you eat because your bored, be more busy. If you eat because your tired, excercise so you have a good sleep.

    I play on Second Life, lol. It's hard to eat and control the camera at the same time. I also take long walks in the woods with plenty of pepper spray. xD

    I read, write and cook.
    Yes, cooking is one of my hobbies and (sadly) involves a lot of taste testing, but I love creating my own dishes and making them tasty and healthy
    I also bowl (not as often I would like to anymore) and I give relationship advice
    Oh, and I coupon! I get such a rush from watching my total go down!



    (edited to add couponing)
