I've discovered that it's much easier for me to avoid my major pitfall, which is thinking I'm hungry when I really just need to be entertained, by making sure I have something to do with my hands. In the past, I've tried to crochet, but for whatever reason, I can't seem to count those stitches, and end up with a wonky mess.
Today I went to the craft store to find something to do that a) I'm actually capable of doing correctly and b) doesn't involve glitter, otherwise known as the herpes of craft supplies. I picked up a little beginner's cross stitch kit, and started this afternoon. So far, it's worked wonderfully, the pattern is actually coming together, and I haven't snacked out of boredom once. Win! If I manage to make this a success, I'll get some cool patterns on Etsy or somewhere, so that my house doesn't get covered in items displaying flowers and birds and cartoon characters.
I can't show you a picture of what I'm actually working on, because if it turns out well, it's going to be a gift, sorry!
