Nuts and Yogurt and Food

I have found something that really works for me when I am wanting to binge and that is to eat nuts. Nuts are protein which at times I have problems eating so good for me. I get the ones that are in shells so it gives me something to do with my hands. Nuts tend to fill me up fast so I do not eat many of them at once at all. I am really enjoying pistachios and there is of course no trans fats and a serving of them is about 49 of them and if I do eat that many which is rare that I do it is 170 calories. I really want to break the pattern of eating while watching television in the evenings yet again eating nuts seems to be a good way to have a snack and gets rid of that urge to binge since they do take some time to eat when they are in the shell.
I am not a morning person and tend to not like to eat until a few hours after I get up. I have heard from so many different sources...books....magazine articles...doctors.....ed groups.........that eating breakfast is si important and sets kind of the day of a better chance not to binge. I have found that I can drink something like the Stonyfield Farm Smoothies that are a drinkable lowfat yogurt so that is a start Today mom and I stopped at Aldi's and they had I forget what brand one that I had heard of so I got a package of four of the drinkable yogurts so will be eager to see how they are......cheaper price than they Stonyfield ones.
I have been really convicted to try and eat more things that are made or grown local or at least are not shipped from 1200 miles away if possible. One thing that has been getting me kind of down is that I think if i was more of an average weight and if I did not have so so so many leg issues I would be the type of person who would use the bus or walk or ride a bike most of the time...I guess I am realizing how ungreen that I am and how much that bothers me lately. Well as I was reading and writing blogs I decided to have a snack and ended up eating about 25 nuts and am full...and wow I even drank just water with them.
