How do you control your appetite or emotional eating after a workout?

That feeling of your body and mind feeling refreshed
when you head home after a workout is so great.
However, I realize I haven't eaten dinner yet.
Logically, I want to maintain that refreshed feeling,
so I tell myself it's okay not to eat anything.
But then I think, "Since I haven't eaten anything," or "Since I worked out,"
I feel like I should eat.
How do you manage to resist this??
Eating provides satisfaction, but then I feel bloated,
fatigue sets in, and my overall condition worsens...
It feels like the benefits of the workout are being wasted?
