stress eating

stress eating memang sinonim ngan PhD life aku nie ...early this year P told me that we should read a book called "What a we hungry for?" by Deepak Chopra ...dia siap bagi audio book for me ...so akak dengar lah ..hahaha deepak dok tanya - why are you eating like that bla bla bla ..it is psychological aspect of eating ..yea lah kan ..naper nak makan makan dan makan ...tapi yang paling aku ingat is Deepak kata - diet will not work - hambik ngko! sapa yang nak sangat diet tu kan...it will not work ...tapi deepak suggest we analyse why we eat the way we do ..so, understanding what we hungry for mungkin dapat membantu ...kata nya

one of his findings is ..we tend to eat our emotion ..hahaha macam alu le tu ..aku stress about study - I eat to compensate for my stressful situation ....i am eating away my emotion ..i am eating away all my problem ....sepatutnya jgn dilayan lol ...just know what is happening and control your emotion - so akan control makan

and guess what - minggu nie memang aku eat my emotion gila babas punya:

this was Monday - bangun extra awal - nervous sebab competition tu start at 12 and akak sambil lewa tak prepare ..so took myself to Milk & Honey (cafe khas untuk staff and postgrad kat campus) and ordered toasted brioche with jam and cream cheese ..sambil prepare the sppech ...

with latte and plain water bagai ..hahaha

then on Weds night pun kelam kabut - had problems with my analysis - and then tetiba rasa nak baking and had serious craving for brownies ..sampai rumah at 9.30pm ...terus perhangatkan my own dinner (chicken and pesto taggatelli) and pas dinner terus baking ...semangat sangat ....

masa nak dimakan ..masih warm from the oven ..at 11pm!

aku bagi bagikan to my flatties and my friends - hahaha tak nak makan seorang - so kira ok lah ..calories are being shared gitu ...

 

and pagi tadi plak bangun bangun bukan main sejuk lagi ..check temp ..kata nya 0 darjah celcius ...and rasa cam nak makan lontong hahaha terus masak NZ version of kuah lontong ...gigih memasak di dapur yang sejuk ....

and yang best nya I have instant peanut sauce jugak to complement the kuah lontong

so emosi yang terganggu pun dapatlah ditenangkan sementara ...dengan makanan ...kalau lah aku nie buat semua benda macam aku mengejar makanan kannnnnnnnnn ....sah maju jaya idup aku :-)
