Hunger + Strong Emotion = Desire to Binge

This work week went really really fast! Today ended the week in a very challenging way, and I was FEELING a strong urge to eat what I wanted(carbs) in a quick way... I came home from class and grabbed an apple and smeared it with almond butter. I am learning that hunger + strong emotion = a desire to binge. I am also learning that if I eat something small to take the edge of my hunger, I can make a more rational decision about what I am going to eat for a meal.
I wasn't feeling like cooking, another thing I've noted I often feel when I have a hard day... so I decided to take advantage of the credit we had at our favorite Thai place due to the screw up the other day. I could eat Thai every day of the week! I had the Pad See Ew with Tofu and vegetarian salad rolls. It was so good!
Have I described my favorite nightly dessert to you yet? It is so worth repeating!
In the (Vita)mix:-1/2 to 1 cup frozen cherries-1/2 frozen banana-1 scoop chocolate Amazing Greens-1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
My favorite food has always been ice-cream, and this tastes like a decadent shake! I swear it does... and the best thing is that it's actually good for you! Cherries are EXCELLENT for their anti-inflammatory properties, and to get the chocolate flavor in the form of greens?! What a magical creation...
Happy Friday!!!(I'm posting this right now but I know most of you will read it tomorrow - which is in less than a 1/2 an hour!)
