Sometimes after a tiring day, or at times when im feeling a bit low, I fall into the trap of thinking that my body craves processed, sugary or salty foods and I end up raiding the kitchen for a quick fix. So, I have to remind myself at these times that my body would benefit from munching on some fresh fruits and nuts instead.
I always enjoy this type of snack anyway but there are always those days where I lose track a little and need an extra reminder. Mainly because my body never reacts well to sugary snacks as I have IBS and find that processed foods will irritate my stomach quite badly. But also because im sad enough to get a kick out of a bag of brazil nuts.
I don't know why but sometimes I still associate sugary snacks as being some kind of "treat" when its not much of a treat at all for me. I just get very cranky and irritable an hour after eating them (I realise this makes me sound like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum) so on days when I need to unwind I find that a glass of red wine, some dark chocolate and nuts does the trick.
I think its good to remind myself of this stuff, at any rate it stops me from shoving my face in the fridge looking for a late night pick me up after watching Breaking Bad back to back. Obsessed isn't the word.
