Cheering yourself up

[ununpentium]

How do you cheer yourself up without resorting to food?

I usually eat when I feel low, and I've been feeling low these past few days and I want to feel better without pigging out on choccy.

Give me your tips How do you pamper yourself?

I'm looking for tips too I'm an emotional eater and I'm having a few low days too and because I've cut out all the rubbish I'm feeling more crappy! I thought buying some clothes at the weekend would help I was sure they'd fit but they didn't so I ended up feeling worse! Maybe I should have bought a pair of sandals instead Hope you're feeling better soon Sorry I'm not much help!

I paint my nails or look online at clothes that I'll buy myself when I hit my next target. Little things like that keep me going.
Call a friend or go and visit family helps cheer me up also x

I like to have a bath with scented candles and a lush bath bomb or bubble bar while listening to bob marley lol passes a bit time.

Or look online at clothes i'll buy when i'm skinny.

Last year i made the mistake of buying loads of holiday clothes in a smaller size in the sale because i had a few months to go. I didnt get in them and still dont so i have 4 month to get in them x

i go online and look up a pic of my wedding dress as i am getting married in fuerteventura in september and it just reminds me of why i joined ww. i also go for walks or read a magazine. i would also light a few candles and make myself a nice cup of tea

I'm going to buy things I usually don't because I spend so much damn money on takeaways.


I've joined the gym so going to buy a few gym bits like water bottles, proper gym wear. Then 'indulgent' things like mani/pedis, books, make up etc. Hopefully I can start to buy clothes soon!

If I want a retail pick-me-up, I usually go for shoes. While I can't really wear them now cuz my weight hurts my feet too easily, I know they'll be ok at some point! I've also bought some clothes in a couple of sizes smaller, so I can wear them this time next year when they fit.

The bath idea is also good! I like sticking a relaxing playlist on, getting soaked up in some Lush bath bomb goodness!

Music!! Listening to some feel good music and bopping around the living room, but right now its my 8 week old boy that gives me the feel good factor

I'm a knitter and if I am really really low I either buy yarn or cast on something new (although I have - at the moment - about 14 different projects on the needles!
Re-watching movies that I like also helps!

Go window shopping, read a lot, that stops me from thinking bad/depressing stuff as I'm concentrating on the story line. I'm a paper crafter so I rummage through my stash and make cards or watch you tube for new techniques I'd like to try. Visit all my favourite crafty online shops and make wish lists You'd think I wouldn't have enough money to spend on junk food with the amount I spend on crafty stuff. It's my addiction, I don't smoke and rarely drink or go out so that is my treat each month, trouble is I could do with an expanding room to put it all in

These expanding stashes will be the death of us all! I think I might get caught in a yarn avalanche at some point...

 

[Candygirl69uk]

Lol! I have just cleared up the paper avalanche that was happening on my desk, then messed it up again, oh well at least it kept me out of the fridge lol!

 

[tryingtolose]

I also managed to stay out of the fridge, but I cannot say I managed to stay away from yarn...! I just got back home with enough yarn for 4 pairs of socks (2 for me, 2 for my fiance)...! And 2 nail polishes...! And 4 boxes of tea bags...! Somehow I just bought stuff today!

Thanks for the tips! I'm an emotional eater but after 11 weeks it's getting better, I ask myself 'is it really worth the points" usually works
