Off the wagon- On the wagon and Emotional Munching

Its been a while since I updated my blog. When I started this blog a few weeks ago, I was  in a good place in terms of my weight loss journey but could feel myself slipping. I have lost a total of 60 pounds overall, and every winter I go through this patch where all I want to do is spend my evenings/days/nights curled up on my couch , watching tv and ordering in. And that exactly what I was doing these past couple of weeks. 

It didnt help that being in an emotionally shitty place + gloomy rainy days all lead to me not giving a crap. Well, i had me 2-3 weeks of eating and being off the wagon but i am back! The good/different thing about this time is that i am back on the wagon waaayyy sooner than any other time in my life ie before I gained 50% of what I lost back.  I am not going to lie- it wasnt easy. 

Its been only 3 days back on track and I have craved pizza or wings or a sandwich each one of these days. but I'll fight it. I know this week is going to be from hell but hopefully I can plough through.

I have always been an emotional eater. happy?- let me celebrate! sad?- F this. I am eating! and so these past few weeks i have been giving a lot of thought to why i eat everytime i am in a bad OR a really really good place...and what I can do about it! One of the things I came up with was to download a hypnosis app on my phone. I listen to it every night before going to bed and its more of a meditation than anything else. And I am not sure if its just psychological or what but I think its helping!! 

I'm going to write again soon but for now- Back on track! back to gym! back on journey! and BACK TO GOALS!!
