amytug 996 Posted April 22, 2013 Well it's not TOO terrible! It's not shopping til I drop. Too poor for that. It's not smoking : been there and done that as a teen. It's not drugs: I got surgery to make me healthier. It's baking. And cooking. I LOoooove looking through cook books, especially the old church type or "my grandmas favorite recipes" types and finding yummy goodness to bake. The whole process from reading, imagining the steps, buying the ingredients, laying everything out, Mixing it all up, the smells floating through the house, My children and husband giving me a rating on a five star scale, Smiles on happy chocolate covered faces, cleanup, all of it. Only bad part is, I've been making mostly junk and I'm working so hard to keep it out of my body and now km feeding it to Mu family more than ever before. I just have so Let's extra time now as a stay at home mom who's not eating all day, so I want to do this entire process about four times a week.mostly sweets, I don't like cooking as much as baking. I have 6 picky-ish eaters and a hubby who will eat anything so I like I stick to basic stuff for them really. Note to self: find healthier things to mix in the kitchen. 1 LiveWire reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted April 22, 2013 Lol AMY are you out of your ever loving mind!! OMG I would die if I spent my time baking! (Well I would die a slow death anyway of gaining more and more) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makemyownluck 785 Posted April 22, 2013 Lol AMY are you out of your ever loving mind!! OMG I would die if I spent my time baking! (Well I would die a slow death anyway of gaining more and more) AGREED! I wanted to (figuratively) murder every single one of my neighbors when I smelled the grills being fired up yesterday. I can't imagine baking a cake right now. Unless I planned to use it as a pillow. For my face. 4 mistysj, TES, No game and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TES 858 Posted April 22, 2013 Maybe you could make some healthy treats for the fam, like homemade Protein Bars with oatmeal or something like that? Even if they don't have a weight problem, it could still affect their health. Maybe try something crafty, like making jewelry or knitting? Volunteering somewhere? PT job? 1 LMFAO575 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amytug 996 Posted April 22, 2013 Lol I'm actually not eating this stuff. This Happened before when I was doing low carb too. I just live vicariously through Mu family. It IS very strange because my biggest problem was (is) sweets. I AM crazy. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And my husband and myself and both of our families are overweight and his side of the family seems to be dropping like flies from cancer. I really need to find a new hobby. Never been too crafty. Exercise is growing on me but I don't know that I'll ever call it a hobby. . I REALLY want to paint the rooms in my house, but no money for that. Hrm. Been cleaning the yard ......
