The FastDay Forum

I found a list online months ago about the things you can do instead of overeating. Later, I actually compiled my own list one very hungry fast day. It ended up being several pages long and having more than 500 ideas. It worked that day, to keep my hands busy and keep me out of the refigerator. It was kind of therapeutic and I thought it might be fun to make a group list here. So, I'll start with a few, come in add a few more behind me. I was thinking it might be fun if we take turns adding two or three things to the list. Just pick up with the number the last person left off with..

1. Take a nap
2. Knit a scarf
3. Chat with an old friend on Facebook

4. Go for a walk
5. Do the ironing
6. Take up painting
