I have an entire list of things to do instead of eating that I keep taped to my refridgerator door. It includes things like exercise (although usually I don't do that one), play with my dog, read, cross-stitch, call a friend, drink a glass of water, go for a walk, get onto the computer, have sex, watch TV, chew gum, or go shopping (which is my favorite because when I try on clothes I'm reminded of how much weight I've already lost, even if I don't buy anything). Really, I just do about anything to get my mind off of food, and that seems to work!
By the way, I can't think of a single thing that makes working out more fun; I just do it. It's something I have to do if I want to lose weight. If anyone has any ideas on what they do to make exercise more tolerable, I'd love to hear them!!
