Should this person look for something else to add to her smoothie instead?

You can't go wrong with ice cream. Ice cream = sugar + fat = weight gain. Smoothies always seem like they're milk shakes with the heart and soul ripped out of them anyway--so just put that dairy goodness back in and there you go.

Regarding life transitions--I heard a talk show host tell callers who apologized for being nervous , "you're not nervous, you're excited! " the point being, it's all how you look at it.
Label that anxiety as excitement, and you'll start thinking of it that way, a more positive way, which makes it easier to deal with. That was her theory, anyway.

Of course, that assumes that you're feeling anxious about your transition....maybe you're not but it's still difficult anyway? In which case, *shrug* "need more information".
