Alot of the women say they replaced there food addiction with shopping and I was curious to hear from the guys. Did any of you replace your food addiction with anything?

I have no money for shopping......I have a closet full of clothers in smaller sizes to choose from. They may not still be in style, but oh well!! They will have to do.

I am hoping that I will be addicted to working out......lol. but I doubt it.

I dont shop because I dont see the purpose of it until I get to goal or close to it...

But exercise is beginning to be my tradeoff.

And Coffee....

This will sound crazy, but my new addiction is making wigs. I hope to get good enough to make homemade wigs for cancer patients/survivors. I always wanted to be a hair stylist.

This is really a good topic. I don't have to worry just yet. I'm due for my surgery 5/13 but I also know myself well enough to know I will have to find healthy hobbies and interests to fill that initial void. I know of a teacher at my dd school that lost her job shortly after GB surgery because she turned to drinking to fill her void. Not a good hobby! I'd love to hear more positive addictions people have found! (Addictions makes it sound so bad....but I hope you know what I'm talking about!)

Don't have the funds to shop, am currently watching my WLS best friend ruin her life with drinking, gave up coffee and do not want to fund that expensive habbit.
Last week it was exercising and visiting my horse, this week it is going home and finding out where the hubby is...and getting....well 'to it...'

I'm sure he likes to see you come home early, atleast it's with your husband and not someone else's. That would be a bad replacement habit.

Anybody increase there activity that involve clothes being on, like fishing

Well I will sound pretty boring...
My addictions are the gym...need to go about 5 times a week to feel good about me. The other is definitely shopping! Oh my have I spent a lot! It is sooo much fun. I go to the stores and buy...I look on line constantly and spend, spend, spend! The other one is riding my quad. It is such a different experience for me now that I do not have all the extra weight. I love the speed and being outdoors! Went riding 5 days last week and am hoping to go again soon!
