Habbits and food

I wanted to share some of my own experiences refreshed by Dilberts blog...

I feel great when my mornings start just like they started 12 years ago..
As soon as i get up i have a strong urge to brush my teeth and wash my face with cold water all year round...comb my hair..and then have tea if possible while reading newspaper...
I remember we could never eat or drink anything at home untill we washed our faces and combed our hair in the morning.
Same rituals were repeated in the evening after school.As soon as we reached home ..change clothes ..keep your things at place.. wash up or take a bath (if summers) comb, eat something and then go play .. dinner was 7.30 pm always... and sleep at 10.00pm..

Though food was never used as a means to punish for something not done by the book...but it has got into my system as a habbit which I treasure.... punctuality and sincerety are somethings i learned from my parents..
I remember my dad used to play some music before waking us...and then used to take us for a run or play a little game of badminton in the yard before we went to school...

Though with time i have never been able to keep up all the rituals except the morning one minus the music...but if i am able to repeat this someday i feel absolutely great and positive that day...
I think this is because all this is deeply ingrained in my psyc and a lot of positive childhood experiences are associated with them.
Theres only one negative habbit which i am trying to overcome ..I am a emotional eater..
Whenever we were hurt , sad depressed mom would make something wonderful....and we will forget everything and start gorging on that......thats the reason whenever I feel frustrated ..depressed sad..i love to eat...and all my blues are gone and my mind is clear...But that has led to a considerable weight gain in last few years...with work stress...and stress to manage home..life emotions.....turn me into a mamoth guzzling...devouring anything that can make me comfortable or come over the blues..
Though I might sound like 250lbs....I am not but can be....if this habbit is not curbed right here...
