As I mentioned before, being food obsessed is a near full-time job. It takes a lot of time to hunt down good recipes, get the ingredients, and compile them in the proper manner. I'm trying to get over that and the therapist recommended finding some new hobbies. What the hell kind of hobbies don't involve eating?
I need some suggestions. I go to Starbucks when I'm bored. Journaling is probably one of the healthiest things you can do short of actual, y'know, exercise. I go there, I read the news, journal, talk to strangers, and just distract myself from the fact that I don't have anything "real" to do in my spare time. Yes, I have friends. They are lovely. I have anti-social tendencies and don't always want to hang out with them. Besides, all they want to do is go out to dinner anyway.
What's a good cross-addiction? Besides Cocaine. I'm sure it would help with the hunger and get me in the mood to pop in a "Sweatin' to the Oldies" tape, but I'm not really one for drugs. I'll hold off on the real shopping until I lose a chunk of the weight.
What else, what else?
And yes, I learned to drink black coffee. I get a pump of sugar-free Hazelnut syrup added. It was surprisingly easy. I can't quite do straight black. I'm not a long haul truck driver or anything. The OptiFast has had a way of resetting my palate. I don't "need" all the sugar and cream that I thought I did. Who knew?
