Is food a friend of the lonely?

It is strange isn’t it? We have so many platforms to communicate through, yet we are lonelier than ever. We have do many people to talk to, yet we are unable to share our truest, deepest feelings. Earlier, I felt like eating whenever I felt alone. While watching television or a movie or while readingContinue reading “Is food a friend of the lonely?”

Villagers And The Great Outdoors

This time when I visited my village Leelki, I learnt something new. In the world of fitness, we are told to minimize wheat and avoid eating this or that. However, the people of the village eat everything including ghee. They don’t restrict anything in their diet and yet they remain healthy.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are fat!

Don’t let your fat boomerang!

In these months, I have realized that the journey of fat loss is also a journey of willpower gain. You have to resist the temptation everyday, every minute, every second!

Obesity, cruelty, stigma and the popular media

Many girls, especially from affluent households resort to emotional eating, and end up becoming obese. Their craving for recognition, affection and love from their own kith and kin transforms into their craving for food. They eat food to fulfill that emptiness inside them. Unfortunately, this becomes a never ending cycle.

Mental Obesity

Emotional Eating: Filling In the Yawning Chasm

Yesterday, cousin sisters, Koel and Bittu had come for dinner. We ordered food since they had come on a very short notice. Koel is quite fit while the Bittu constantly struggles with her weight. Koel is very choosy about what she eats while the Bittu eats anything and everything that she finds. When we wereContinue reading “Emotional Eating: Filling In the Yawning Chasm”
