If you are that skinny, stop running and go do some strength training. Running is just gunna make any muscle you have go BYE BYE! Which is probably why you say you are all flab. Less cardio, more strength training. Since you are already that small to begin with you will probably have a six pack in no time at all.
If you want some recommendations on some videos that you can do at home that incorporate a lot of resistance training and cardio (that I am going to tell you about whether you are interested or not) then check out Jillian Michael's "Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism" and "No More Trouble Zones" or Jackie Warner's "Power Circuit Training" and "One on One Training with Jackie." I mention those because they are both popular trainers and should be easy to find and pretty cheap if you buy them online.
Anyway, you may like running, but I think runners get addicted to it and they are always so super skinny. They have endurance like a motherfucker, but hardly any upper body strength. Try something new, maybe it will help.
And just for the record, I feel like I have a very similar situation as you. I lost my job about 6 months ago and have not been able to find a new one, so I am completely broke. I have a twin sister who is many pounds smaller than I am and way better looking. All of my friends have better things to do than hang out with me because all I do is sit at home and work out (hah). Believe me, you're not crazy, just going though a hard time.
Well, I hope this helps, even if just a tiny bit. Hang in there.
