I hate eating alone. it's not any fun. any suggestions?

my husband travels for business a lot. my kids are grown. i don't drive due to an injury, so i'm stuck home. he's gone a week this time, so i have lots of meals to fix for myself. i just don't eat sometimes, but i need the nourishment.

Goodness :) eating alone is a normal thing for me, I live alone. What I do for myself when I feel like making it more cosy is just eating what I really like. Being free in whatever that might be. Being really free is what you can experience when you are alone for some time. Its a good thing, but you only feel it if you allow yourself.
Just make things cosy for yourself. Just for you.

Creamsicle	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 4:53PM Invite friends or relatives over... join one of those clubs that are like bars/restaurant combinations and get to know and eat with the other people who go there. Rated: +1Vote for this!
silvrsurfr	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 4:22PM I think the neighbors are a great idea but you probably already thought of that...maybe you feel a bit funny or don't want to "impose". Get on the web and look up local cooking clubs...You will learn to cook better...teach others and share meals with new friends...! Also consider volunteering at local community canters and/or churches...you can help others and have a multitude of folks that will be grateful for your company and help! Rated: +1Vote for this!
wakeupkaren	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 5:13PM Go out and eat alone. Find comfort in yourself. Turn eating into a meditative process. Full awareness of each and every individual bite. Invite a friend over. Relax and eat while watching a movie and in your pjs. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Topay	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 3:00PM why don't try to invite your neighbor? ya got the nourishment plus you can share your problem with them. Or maybe you can invite me? cause I really need some food right now, I'll finish your refrigerator in a sec :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
