Experiment with Controlled Consumption of Sweets Gone Awry

I forgot the delicious salad I made as I headed off to the train...So I went to Corner Bakery and bought a salad along with a cream cheese brownie. I thought I would do a controlled test.
By the time I got to school (in the city) I got a message to call the police. They informed me that my 5 year old and babysitter had gotten into a car accident, crashed into a 7-11 window (one of my favorite eating destinations) and everyone was fine. The police took Max to his art class and my sitter filled out the accident report.

After making all of my calls to get everything handled, I went in and inhaled the brownie. It made me so full that I was not hungry for my salad at lunch. Why is that? I ate most of the salad anyway.

When I got home I ate a bite of a twinkie, some ritz crackers and a klondike icecream sandwich. The I had seafood stew and brown rice for dinner.

There is a definite correlation between stress and my eating.

Still, nothing satisfies like some chocolate....
