Want another cookie?
Before you grab that cookie, let’s figure out why you actually want it... and it’s probably not hunger
Hey sweetu!
Welcome to the eleventh edition of Tastes like a Cheat Meal. You can read others here - https://newsletter.proskii.in/.

New Year, Same Cravings?
Yep… it’s already 2026 and let me guess….most of us probably haven’t stuck to those New Year Resolutions from last year.
Guilty? We’re with you.
SACH MAI!! Health goals are hard to stick on
Before we jump into “no more junk” and “gym every day” mode, let’s take a tiny pause
Step 1 of eating better isn’t salad or protein….it’s actually understanding why you eat the way you do
The Real Us + Your Food Mood
Food isn’t just fuel. It’s emotion, entertainment, coping mechanism… basically a whole vibe
For example, our Marketing Executive, cannot eat without a movie playing 🍿
Some eat when stressed. Some eat when happy. Some… just eat. And that’s okay!
But here’s the thing: if you don’t recognise these patterns, surprise! You end up gaining 2 kilos and wondering what the food happened 😬
Step 1: Spy on Your Food Habits (Just like you spy on office gossip)
Grab a notebook (or your phone, we’re modern like that). Ask yourself:
During cravings: “What emotion is making me want this [food]?”
After eating: “Why did I order that [food] just now?”
Mindfulness check: “Am I really paying attention to each bite, or just scrolling and munching?”
Hunger check: “Physical or emotional?” (Physical = stomach growl. Emotional = “I feel like eating but not really hungry.”)
Motivation check: “Nutrition, convenience, or cravings guiding me?”
Emotional aftermath: “Satisfied or guilty now?”
Quantity check: “Did I eat consciously or until I couldn’t move?”
Step 2: Make a Food Journal
Write it all down. Patterns, triggers, emotions, cravings… everything
For example: “Grabbed namkeen automatically when bored.”
Once you spot these habits, you’re already halfway there.
Mindfulness FTW! 💪
Bonus : Mini Mindful Tricks
Drink a glass of water before reaching for snacks
Notice emotional triggers
Track small habits
Reduce portions instead of going cold turkey
Small tweaks, big wins
A win is a win
