Guess who's back...?
We all know I've had a bit of a bleurrrgh time recently with lapses - and although I am back on track, I've been finding it really tricky to distract myself - so here is a little list of things you can do to take the focus away from the F word. Please add your own - these aren't so much 'treats' as distractions - but of course, if things are nice too - all the better!!!

Strip all your bed sheets and wash them.
Do some dusting around your place.
Move the furniture around (I love doing that!)
Clean out your computer of unwanted files by doing a disk clean-up and a disk defragment. Your computer will run better and faster.
Get a couple programs called Ad-Aware, plus Spybot Search and Destroy and scan for adware components. You don't want that stuff on your computer.
Exercise. If you have a Wii Fit - perfect, if not try some yoga/pilates poses. It's good for you, keeps you moving and releases endorphins
Listen to upbeat music and dance around like a loony!
Watch TV/good film, but place the remote control far away.
Play a musical instrument. (For me it's piano and guitar ... I'm terrible but I still play it.)
Design your own website on a topic of your choice! It's actually quite time consuming, fun and it teaches you a skill.
Find songs that motivate you and make yourself a CD to dance around to/listen to in the car etc.
Make a list of your goals and how/when you want to have them acheived by. Make them as big or small as you like - and tick them off when you reach them!
Try out a new hair style.
Exfoliate your body (best to have a bath/shower for this to open your pores) and slather on some lovely body cream etc... TREAT YOURSELF!
Give yourself a make-over.
Have a cool shower - not everyone's cup of tea, but refocuses the mind - and cold water makes you feel all firm and sexy! Follow by wrapping in a hot fluffy towel!
Keep checking back into this site, join in on threads and post. (Lol, I have lost HOURS this way, lol!)
Learn something. Think of something that always interested you and start studying - research things, pick up facts etc... keep your brain working!
Start a blog/diary... note down goals, cravings you have, how you got past them (thought records, hot thoughts etc), exercise you've done and anything that inspires you and motivates you.
Go for a drive
Make something. Go all Blue Peter - be it papier mache, something out of modelling clay, a painting, some home made jewellery, greetings cards etc.
If you into video games, grab a copy of Quantum of Solace or Fallout 3.... both have been known to take over your life - my OH never leaves the sofa now - and I have to say, I make a mean secret agent
Read a magazine, cover to cover (even the cheesy ads at the back!)
Give yourself a manicure, pedicure or foot massage... better still, enlist someone else to... oh, and back tickles are also recommended. Mmmmm.
Ooh, back on the 'making stuff' theme... you could get going making a batch of 'thank you cards' all ready for post-Christmas.
Write a letter - yes, a letter, not an email, to an old friend. Handwriting - remember that..?
Go for a walk (with or without a four legged creature)
Ok - over to you - add away!!
