Hi what is Pinterest and how do I get "on it"I love going on "Pinterest" and have a bulletin board full of tips and projects I want to try. I also love to bake .. and believe it or not, I don't really have a problem controlling myself or being around it. I leave a little at home for my kids to enjoy and I take the rest in to work and let my co-workers enjoy it. The fun for me is making it .. not eating it.
Sweety I don't think anyone knows what Pinterest is or how to define it. For me it's a bunch of fashion but no indication where to purchase specific items. Hateful site.0 -
Hateful site? Lol0

I want to reward myself without overeating/consuming my favorite junk foods. Anything that gets in the way of my goal is a hindrance - so what else can I indulge in?
Here is a personal list of things that make me just as happy as a french fries and a milkshake
Please add on your "look-forward-to's" as well!
- Watching that new episode of your favorite series
-Taking a long, hot bath
-Getting your nails done
-Meeting up with friends for some good laughs
-Buying a new pair of shoes

Now, tell me yours!
Hey, I know this going to sound kind of sad but I find it therapeutic to tidy up my house, cleaning, sorting things, tidying up the garden etc. Getting going can be tricky but once I do and I've done something I feel a real sense of achievement and a bit less stressed at the mess/clutter.
My weight went up at the end of last year as I stopped running and tended to comfort eat in the evenings. I know I work better when I have a goal so I signed up for a half marathon in June. The thought of that scares me but I'm determined and am enjoying working towards it.1 -
Oh my I LOVE this thread.
1. Watching my favorite channels on Youtube
2. A good book
3. Watching movies
4. Playing with my dogs
5. Running
6. Makeup0 -
This is a great discussion. I like to do many of those things already listed (mani/pedi, aromatherapy baths and others). I also like re-reading a book that I loved, or a children's or young adult book, mainly 'cause they're easy to read and get into and finish. I like to play around on photoshop and edit old photos, that gets me in the flow and my mind off food. Also reading health books and magazines. If I'm in the mood, sometimes I'll put on some good music and dance around my place! Hope these help!0

I don't know if this counts as "not food related" but I bake - for others, so I feel bad to eat them because I want it to give as a gift.
Ice-skating if the rink is open - but unfortunately the schedule often doesn't line up with mine!
I've found dancing a nice distraction; or learning a new language or coding.
Reading is always fun.
Or oddly enough - meal planning/goals planning is good for re-focusing.
Cleaning and reorganising are actually fun hobbies for me - because it's so satisfying!0 -
I bought a little personal hand held atari video game system to occupy my hands and give me something to do during some down time. You can't eat a play video game at the same time.2

I enjoy deep house music while I write. Writing has become a daily habit for me (on purpose), and starting in July I'll be writing a new Haiku every day for 31 days as part of a writing challenge. This is very stimulating and relaxing for me.0

Good question. I am trying to find something as satisfying as food. I have done meditation, yoga, swimming, walks, spa etc... And they are good for a while but I find when stress hits and my resilience is low, I don't engage in these activities I go back to food.
My question is how to do make the transition where the alternative is as fulfilling and/or the go-to when life hits? Any real world advice/guidance is appreciated.2 -

Hi there, Pinterest is an awesome place. It's an online catalog of ideas, videos, articles, etc that people can curate to their tastes. It can even be used as a community search engine of sorts. You get a daily 'feed' full of suggestions posted by people you follow, and you can save and organize the ideas, articles, etc that you like best into tidy sections called 'boards' that you can arrange however you like. It's especially excellent for remembering and discovering recipes, jokes, craft ideas, and blog articles. It's completely free! You can access it by getting the app for your phone, or simply look it up online by the name 'Pinterest' and then easily create an account with them that way. Have fun!0 -

I hadn’t thought of this. Let’s see.
Getting my nails done. Cause I’ll have money instead of eating out.
Watching my favorite movie and playing a game.
Going swimming or to the lake; good for the soul indulgences.
Something simple like settling in with a new book.
Some time it’s going to be, buying that new water cup I’ve had my eye on.
Love this post. 0 -
