Things to do instead of eating because of head hunger
I haven't read a single post from someone post-surgery who said they don't deal with head hunger. So, I thought I'd start a list of ideas of things to do instead of eating during those times. I'll start with a few things and add other ideas to the list as they are posted.
1. Blow bubbles
2. Crochet a dish cloth
3. Make t-shirt yarn
4. Work on current crochet project
5. Experiment with paints
6. Dye fabric
7. Make something from one of my Pinterest boards
Go for a walk, play with pets, read a book, zumba, run around the yard, tend to your garden, sing a song, play the guitar.
