    Was just told this morning that I am being laid off at the end of February, thanks to the price of oil. Typical me all I want to do today is stuff my face with fatty, unhealthy food........... Thankfully so far I have not given into this, but it is hard.

    !!! I'm so sorry- that is the worst. :( If at all possible you should try to stuff your face with water, and exercise that frustration and anger out. I did that with running when I get depressed. Keep your head up BT- being laid off is a really hard hit- but I really believe everything happens for a reason. This just means there is a better job for you out there that you were meant to have instead. Get looking. :) Stay strong.

    Thanks Ams, I am hanging in there and actively looking for work worldwide, something will come up.

    I have been strong and if I chose to eat which didn't really happen it was something healthy. To be honest I am not that hungry with the stress just the old habits of comfort food. However I have NOT fallen into that trap thankfully

    Good- I know for me if I'm down it's really easy to fall back into those habits. Good luck in your job search!

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Ams is right everything happens for a reason. You never know, you may end up being a personal trainer or something similar. Not sure what kind of work you're looking for or what experience you have but I did a quick search. It looks like there are a number of opportunities with Home Depot, also looks like their is an unique opportunity to become the City Manager for Ladysmith!!
