Why's it always food?

We live in a food oriented society. We (or at least I do) eat when I am happy and want to celebrate, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I bored, I eat for birthday's and the list goes on. I get so frustrated by it. Why am I so attracted to food? I look forward to those butter saturated potatoes, and big juicy burgers. Uhg. I know I am not the only one that feels this way. I know that it is a struggle for A LOT of people. But that doesn't always make it that much less frustrating.

Moving to Texas it's been horrible on my eating habits. I haven't found to many hobbies yet, the kids aren't really involved in too many extra activities that keep me busy, so I eat. I eat because I am sad I left all my family and friends, I eat when Todd and Tanner had a birthday. I get lonely during the day so I make cookies and eat most of them because they sit, staring, at me on the counter.

I haven't exactly gone "up" a size but my pants are getting a little tight and a little to squishy in the backside.....so I think I am going to do the HCG diet again. I know its not the most healthy way to diet and it's pretty rough thing to fallow, but I feel like the last time I did it I got my self under control. I shrunk my stomach, and proved to my mind, as well as my body, I don't need all the extra STUFF to feel me up and be satisfied. I think there are better things to do with my time besides eat.

I think it will be a week or so before I get it and get going but I think I am looking forward to loosing those extra inches that have inched their way back onto my backside and get looking good again for the summer that is coming.

    Do you get the drops? Does it really help you with your self control? That's my problem so I'm wondering if I should get on it as well...

    I know you've been asking for a hobby. This isn't really something that your boys would enjoy too much, but you could start crocheting. I don't know if you know how to crochet or not, but it's something to keep your mind and your hands occupied so that you won't always be grabbing for more food. :) AND if you crochet something like an afghan, it's big enough that it will make a lot of time pass before you even know it. Just a suggestion. :)

    It does help a little with self control. I found the hardest week is the first. I use the spray (which is like the drops) I also use the homeopathic kind. It's a hard diet, but if you really stick to it, it works.
    I'm not a huge crocheting fan (for myself) but I have been trying to pick some fun holiday themed crafts to spruce up around my house and keep my mind busy. This month I have been working on valentine stuff :-)
