Take out panic!!

I wondered today if i will ever get over that horrible panic when my mum says were having take away or pizza tonight - my heart starts racing and i'm not sure what to do to get out of it, then i remember i can eat take out, i WILL enjoy it and i WILL only eat until i'm full, no binging. So i am having indian takeaway tonight - (this one used to scare me the most, so oily!) here are a few 'safe' options i always choose for take aways....
Indian- tandoori chicken, tandoori prawns or vegetable balti, dhal and chickpea based dishes with boiled rice and NO naan

Chinese - chicken and sweetcorn soup, king prawn with ginger, vegetable soft noodle, avoid egg fried rice and prawn crackers

pizza - thin crust, extra veggie toppings, or plain with black olives (i also love anchovys but i don't think anyone else does! ;)

Fish and Chips - okay sorry, no avoiding anything in this! lol best option is attempting to take as much batter of the lovely cod fillet as you can and just enjoy the chips!

Tryand avoid creamy based dishes and those 'little extras' like naan bread and garlic bread - thats where a lot of the un needed calories come from,

these are just some tips to help you through having a take away and being able to enjoy it knowing you have picked one of the best options!

Delicious Nutritious Chocolate Mousse!

I'm not sure if i have mentioned this already, but i actually suffered from orthorexia before full blown anorexia, which meant i had a huge fear of ANYTHING 'bad' like cake and chocolate, then as the anorexia took over pretty much all food was 'bad' apart from fruit :-/ so when a lovely friend of mine gave me this recipe i was thrilled at how delcious and healthy it was :) I swear its just like REAL chocolate mousse!! But creamier ;) it's stunning i can'tthank her enough for sharing it with me!
you will need...
1 avacado - ripe (don't be scared, its full of good fats!)
1 mango - ripe and juicy
4 teaspoons of cocoa powder
(you can also add your own form of sweetner if you like it a little more sweet, aka honey or sugar - i used sugarfree vanilla syrup :)
then chop into small peices and blend into a food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy
ENJOY!
Thanks again to my friend for the recipe, she is an inspiration to us all, plus she got me eating avacado again bless hr XD lol much love xxxxx
