This morning for my smoothie I decided to be creative and make a chocolate and banana smoothie with my protein powder. Good idea poor execution. Of course chocolate syrup would be the way to go but I don't have any and it would have too much sugar (counts as one of my 9-10 starches allowed per day) so that was out. I do have coco powder so I thought it would work out nicely and well, it didn't. It was chalky and didn't have that lovely silky creamy, I love you flavor I was desiring. I added some lite whipped cream to the second one to make it a little better, it wasn't. I chocked down both smoothies because I had to and found myself still longing for some chocolaty goodness.
I have never thought of myself as an emotional eater. Being sad or lonely doesn't make me want to eat but today I found our that I actually am an emotional eater. No I wasn't sad or lonely today but I was feeling a little stressed. With my stress feelings I found myself again feeling a need to satisfy my chocolaty craving. I always reach for chocolate it is my favorite and I will eat it in all forms except for maybe chocolate covered bugs...well maybe...no defiantly not. Jeremy had to work late and I did dinner and bed by my self. I got the kids in their pj's and loaded them up in the Jeep one because it needed gas so I can make it to my 5:30 a.m. Zumba class tomorrow but also because I thought of a way that might satisfy my chocolate search. I decided to get a decaf coffee with a splash of milk and some sugar free chocolate syrup. An other big fail. It didn't taste chocolaty and still all that lovely creaminess was lost. Humph.
I got home, put the kids to bed, and grabbed an other "free" fudge pop. It hit the spot. Why didn't I learn from the other day and skip all the silliness? So I am an emotional eater. I need to remember this and also stop letting chocolate lead my thoughts for a whole day.
