Knitting and losing weight

I started a new page and on it made the comment that I wanted to write a diet book on knitting and losing weight because it is very difficult to eat and knit at the same time.  Eating can be done as I have found when knitting at Barnes and Noble and eating one of their tasty sugar cookies.  At home you can drink wine and knit but have to put the knitting down after the 3rd glass.  Also make sure the wine matches the color of the yarn that you are using in case of an accident.
Started knitting again about ten years ago and since moving to Texas knit at least 2 times a week with a group.  Most of my yarn has been found at garage sales and thrift stores.  You can find very good quality yarn unlike the yarn at the local big box craft store.  Buying yarn this way also leaves you more money for chocolate.  Guess the diet book is never going to get written.  Taking knitting to the local Y works sometimes as long as you use circular needles so you don't get stabbed if you fall.  The bicycle is really the best thing to do while knitting, the treadmill kind of works but is a little more difficult.  Doing weights or the rowing machine is impossible.  Maybe I will explore all of the places you can knit and participate in an activity.  Thanks for reading my rambling.  Will try to post more blogs and let you know how the weight loss is going.
