Go out into the street and yell swears at some b****es...

Yes..this sucks big time. But when faced with challenges, our job is to find a different coping mechanism. This is the time to reach out for help via this forum, or support groups, or whatever you need to do to avoid old behaviors. Better to be out of work and on track weight wise than be out of work and getting fat too. Sorry for the strong language but this is just like any other intervention. Your drug of choice just happens to be food.

I have found this approach helpful during times when I was "between jobs." Volunteer part-time at a nursing home, shelter, Meals on Wheels, animal hospital, Habitat for Humanity - something like that, for three reasons. 1) You will make a difference in someone's life. 2) It will get your mind off of your own predicament for part of the day, 3) Volunteering is what I call "resume bait". It helps prevent a gap in your resume, plus shows that you like to keep busy and productive, and shows that you are versatile. I wish you the best. Here is a hug from Chicago.
