I many times can't walk. I tend to break off 1 square of dark chocolate and pick up my knitting looms. Can't eat and knit at same time. LOL

I fine this article to be very true. I at one time was an avid walker. I used to walk 5 miles daily, never missed a day. Now I am relearning how to walk. I want to walk to gain control again. I believe when I walked I didn't ever crave food. Now that I am chair bound much, they craving is there 24/7.(LOL)

i got it to come up this time. walking or other activity seems to be the answer to everything. problem is, i can't walk all that good, much less anything else!
