.... to keep your mind off of food? I DEFINITELY do!
This month I have said I am not going to have a cheat day. So, I have been knitting, crocheting, playing video games with my son (Doritos Crash Course is so much fun) and on MFP and ohas other health and cooking sites. It has been working Today I will throw in some additional miles with Leslie Sansone and burn some extra calories while staying out of the kitchen.

I cross stitch! Totally keeps my mind off eating!
Just to clarify I don't do it to keep my mind off food but it does!
I actually LOVE cross-stitching! x0 -
I don't do it to keep my mind off food, but I certainly should. My Nana taught me to crotchet as a young child and I still do. I just don't do it as often as I probably should. I have about two blankets I'm making and neither of them is close to being done. LMHO!

When I knit, I definitely avoid snacks that would leave a residue on my hands for at least an hour before I plan on picking it up for the day0

Ive always been a crafty kinda girl, I regularly swap between my 3 main crafty hobbies of Cross Stitching Knitting and Drawing. I am currently knitting one of Jane Greenhowe's KNitted Clowns series, then i have my eye on a nice lace stitched jumper in alpaca wool.
I have a stash of Heaven & Earth Cross Stitch PDF's which are gorgeous and can take months or years to finish too... I flit betwenn my crafts regularly and I originally started doing them to take my mind off my srthritis pain, but once you get engrossed you forget about food grumbles too!!0 -

Aw wow - I have never made one of these in ages! I can't even remember how to!0 -
I knit in the evenings while enjoy tv time with my kids. I've found that it keeps me from eating after dinner snacks. On the weekends, it is not uncommon for me to be infront of the sewing machine for 4 to 5 hours; during which I forget to eat as well. The down side is I forget to drink water too.0
