POLL: What Have U Finally Decided 2 do?

Poll: What Have You finally decided to do?

I've finally decided to KNIT instead of eating Tootsie Rolls when I get anxious.

LOOM knitting -- Keep repeating to self:

"I can do this, I can do this, I can do this, .... "

I finally decided, that the only snacks I will allow myself is fruit. Nothing that crunches.

I wish I could knit. Puzzles and hot baths work for me.

That's how I stopped smoking in 2006. Everybody I know got a new afghan!

I am working out 3-4 times a week in the morning. Then, I can enjoy my crunchy Cheetos (just not a whole bag of them).

I knit as well. 'Idle mind is the devil's workshop and idle hands are his tools'. If I keep my hands busy I'm less likely to want to snack on junk.

Stay out of the hospital at least for a few months, and I will put my wife before myself in this decision.

Carrots and celery and almonds crunch and they are GREAT snacks!

I've eaten a cupcake a day for over a year. A half at a time, but still--a cupcake a day. No other sweets, no sweet drinks.

I also ate a 1/2 bag to a full bag of stick pretzels a day. Was addicted to them!

I gave them up, not because of weight, but because they just weren't good for me.

I still exercise, do yoga and walk every day. Haven't dropped a pound! But I'm so glad I'm over my sugar fix and my salty carb fix.

I've found that keeping my hands busy typing replies to posts has kept me from snacking! So, when I begin to ramble, you'll know I'm hungry!😉

I've got to find a crunch replacement. Last nite, I fixed a large bowl of POPCORN, but it didn't do the trick. About 20 minutes later, I hit the M&Ms hard ... Finished the whole bag.

I don't know what I'm going to do, but I've got to do something!

This has got to STOP!

Keep only a single serving of dessert/snack items on hand. Wash them down with a lot of tea, coffee, or diet tonic. Then you'll feel like you've had a bigger dessert.

Exercise every day! Not just throughout the week....Walk, Bicycle, etc. I would also love a pilates Reformer to switch up my workouts!!!!

UPDATE:

Okay, peeps! It's working! I've NOT had any candy in a week.

I started knitting a scarf (Thanks, You-tube) and tomorrow I will start knitting on the LOOM.

See the demo on HSN - item # 440-433 (Zippy Loom)

Edit:
Oh! I also made a bunch of potholders. That was FUN!

No candy! Yayyy!

Got myself back to walking - yeah! 2 miles a day. Then I go hide in my studio and quilt - hoping that helps keep me away from candy!!

I don't remember the date I actually started, but was glad to see this thread come up again.

I've been bad twice. One night I finished off a box of Keebler sugar cones (like 5 or 6!!) I don't even like ice cream in a cone! Usually anything that at least is not G MO free is unsavory to me. Ugh.

Then I had a bowl of So Delicious choc ice cream the next week.

Maybe once a week I'll be bad?
