Crafting VS Crunching!

So I was thinking today as I talked to my mom. I had made a peace sign string art thing. I noticed that my mind wasn't focused on food the whole time and I was focused and determined to finish it that day. Sometimes I just sit and watch tv or read a book and it's like I get board and want to snack on or drink something. This is clearly NOT what I should be doing. It's always been the same struggle. It all comes back to even if you are given an amazing tool, diet, or plan you still have to make the right mental choice. IT IS SO HARD! Oh sure some people say to me just put it down! Oh well sure that's soooo easy! I would put it down yea and pick it right back up! I have heard before that keeping your mind busy and not leaving empty time for grazing is helpful. Now this I can agree with.

I know what I love to do that's not eating. I love to color, make fun stuff, workout (YES I JUST SAID  THAT!) and swim! I need to continue to do those things that make me happy when I am done. When I'm done eating at a time I'm not supposed to, or eating the wrong thing it makes me feel even worse about myself. So what happens? I freaking do it again! Over the last two weeks I have been doing little projects like string art or coloring. When I am done I feel happy and I want to keep going. Nothing else really matters I have to get to the next color, nail, string, or whatever! I told my mom yesterday "I think I want to do this string art crap all the time I love it!"

I think though I only need so many things in my house that are not going to get hung up!  So with all of that being said. If you ever want me to make you anything......stringart, wine glass animals, or anything crafty..... I would love to help you out! Just leave a comment or message me on Facebook. Find something that makes you happy when you done. Feeling guilty or sad when you've finished something just isn't a great way to feel.
