What am I hungry for? I have a seemingly endless hunger that I've (unfortunately) been trying to fill with food. :( Boredom, perhaps? Yep ... work is slow. And I'm not thrilled to be there regardless. But I'm glad to have a job especially when I see friends (who are also middle-aged) struggling in the current job market. Decision deadlock? That could be contributing to the hunger. Should I buy a new car? Should I look for a new job? Should I think about moving? The lack of a relationship or even the potential for a relationship? Another item that's contributing to that feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Too many questions and answers that don't come as quickly as opening a bag of chips. NOT that it works in the long-term (and even in the short-term it's questionable.
As you can guess, I continue to struggle food-wise. But am doing pretty well exercise-wise. In fact, a friend and I have begun getting together around exercise instead of the usual getting together around food. At least once a week, we meet at a local park and walk and talk. (And truthfully usually do end up getting something to eat, but at least there's some exercise in the mix.) I'm looking forward to my walk with her later today.
And, in the meantime, I will continue to work on my non-food related hunger.
Have a fabulous Friday!

When work sucks life sucks. I know that boredom is a huge excuse why I eat. Good luck. We need to remember that there is plenty to do. We need to engage in the life. There is really no excuse to br bored.
Have a good weekend..
That's great that you've been able to move from a food-focused to more of an activity-focused thing with your friend. It makes it easier when you have someone to exercise with.
Good job :)
The good news is that you're AWARE that you're trying to fill *something* other than hunger. Keep seeking the answers and you'll do well.
I am so going through the same things and know I need to get out of my rut but it's so hard!
Good luck to us, we'll get there yet!
