I have been out of work since last July after 38 years. I live alone and won't go anywhere to save money. I'm so bored, bored, bored. This week those "old" thoughts have been slipping in when I am doing nothing. You know what I mean? I got out and walked, I drank water, I tried to watch a movie but couldn't concentrate for thinking about what quick food had no carbs. I really want to fill that "void". The thoughts just won't go away.

Hep me, hep me........

Nuts . Barb on here stated that she keeps a baggie of nuts put about anyplace around for those cases. They are good for you also. I know what you mean about being bored.... I find myself doing the same thing espeically in the winter. I baked a pan of brownies yesterday during a rageing in my brain but i fixed that...... I went to see my teenaged neice so I took her and her Daddy half the pan.... Then my son and his soon to be wife 3 big ones and left 3 smaller ones at home. The hubby was not happy.......... LOL but....... said he understood. I said well.... you can have two and a half just leave me half of one. It worked for me. I gave in made them then come to my senses. Thank goodness. I gotta get some nuts for my house. Try it and see if it works. Try to get the mixed variety if you can .

Actively pursue and seek for something to catch your interest or stimulate creativity. I go through those times too!! It is such a struggle--we have to be proactive in filling our emotional voids!!
