I have been struggling with overeating from the day I learned to feed myself. My mom’s favorite dialogues were, “Don't eat any more! You’ve had enough. Get some exercise. You look like a bean bag with lips. Don’t even think about ordering a pizza”, etc. If you were asked a table topic of everything you think you should, could or might do to take control of your overeating or emotional eating, I bet you could fill a few lines or perhaps a few pages. We have all heard more advice about healthy eating than we can possibly digest. But there is one key strategy that most people completely miss. And it is too bad, because when applied correctly, this one strategy not only helps curb overeating, it makes just about everything better. Overeating struggles are often a vicious cycle; a hamster wheel behavior that just seems to go round and round and get worse with each revolution.

The cycle isn’t always the same, but it might look something like this: stress eating, exhaustion, guilt and shame. The solution is the same food to feel better. Feeling horrible after a terrible day at work, being too busy to figure out a different solution, I indulge in a huge tub of ice cream or eat that mega size bar of chocolate because it is there. I have learned some things along the way. One time when I was 12 or 13 years old. My mum prepared a very delicious meal. My favorite , rajma chawal, By the time the food was ready that night I had already salivated enough to fill a 10 liter bucket. I jumped on the plate and literally devoured the mountain of rajma chawal in seconds.

In fact, I had already eaten the food a 100 times over by just perceiving the aroma emanating from the kitchen. Finally, it was ready. I didn't wait for any invitation when mom placed my plate on the dining table. I was served rajma chawal, topped with desi ghee . It sure was a generous topping. Chopped onions, green chilies and mango pickle was served alongside and it was without doubt one of the best rajma chawal platters I ever had. Probably childhood is the only time when we indulge like this. I jumped on the plate and literally devoured the mountain of Rajma chawal in seconds. Like Oliver Twist, I could not wait to ask for another plate. My tummy was swollen. I was full to the brim but I could not resist eating another plate. Mum gladly served me another plate. She was more than happy that I was eating the same food twice. I ate it all. This time I took my time. By now my tummy was threatening to explode and could easily be mistaken to have a set of twins within. But I refused to stop, I wanted more and more and more. And rejected my mom’s favorite dialogue, “Enough, you had enough. If you eat even one more grain of rice, you will burst like a balloon”. Greed had the better of me. I sneaked into the kitchen like a thief in the middle of the night and got another plate. 15 minutes later I could hardly breathe. My stomach was developing cramps and felt like it would explode in all directions. I slowly crawled to my room like a python would after swallowing a hippopotamus. I could not sleep the whole night, tossing and turning all over like a ball being kicked around by angry soccer players. Suddenly, around 2 am, I could not take it anymore. My stomach could not too. Before I knew it, I felt like throwing up. I rushed my head over to the corner of the bed and in a minute emptied the contents of my stomach; food which I had spent over 2 hours shoveling into my mouth rushed out like a dormant volcano that had suddenly become alive. That was the day I learnt my first nasty lesson about food. It might be good but too much of it is always bad. So here is the tip for all who want to reduce some inches or some pounds! Indulge yourself in overeating the meal which is your weakness and you really want to strike that off, Fully or Partially from your diet.
