Week 3: Mid-Point Reflection

Image
This is a time where I reflect my habit... may it rest in peace. My 3rd week has been so off, I have not kept track of my types of food I have consumed. In fact, I'd eat meat once every 2' days or I'd eat meat then I'd stop more liek2-3 days or so or 2-3 meals. If my project ended today, I would still continue the fish/veggies life but I'd be cutting down meat as much as I can. One meal per day is when I'll eat meat. My motivations to continue is because I have gotten sick of eating meat. For example, my family would cook beef and I'd just stare at it and decipher if I do want to eat it or not. I tell myself all the time to trust the process cause sometimes, th e process can be hard and verrrrrrryyyy long. In the first of my habit experiment, I was excellent at keeping it veggie/fish friendly. But in the second week happened  then it started to decrease positive habit. It's hard having a habit when you tell  yourself to trust the process but how l...

A GIRL HAS CAVED IN!!! If you see the number of reds within this week, I have totally failed. I made a commitment to eat only meat such as pork, beef, and chicken on the weekends 2/3 of my meals - that worked! HOWEVER, the start of my week followed through the rest of this week... I was like, "I'm just going to eat popcorn chicken since I'm hungry and that's what Oasis serves." I'm telling you, Oasis popcorn chicken is addicting and it's one of the things they sell that's popular.  However, the reason why I've been eating meat consistently is that my family doesn't understand the term of being pescatarian. If you come from a culture that uses a lot of meat in their dishes, you would know how hard it is not to eat the food made by family members. What also made it hard was that I didn't have time to go grocery shopping for the food I needed to make for the week. ANOTHER factor is that this school week has been very stressful....

How did week one go for me?

For this project, I will be sticking to fish/veggies on the weekdays for all three meals. I will then eat poultry/beef on weekends but 2 out of my three meals. This habit/action of mine will be relating to food. The reason why I am choosing this plan is that my family consumes a lot of meat, all of our groceries are either red meat such as beef or chicken. Eating chicken and beef is the number one reason why slaughterhouses produce at a quicker rate. In the consumption of meat that Americans sets a breaking record in 2018. Americans will consume 222.2 pounds of meat this year in total , that is alarming. The reason why people are running away from carbohydrates is that people are more in favor of meat. Carbohydrates are seen as a negative in the society An alternative habit/action is what if I just cut off beef and poultry in my daily meals. Instead of eating chicken or beef two out 3 meals I had on the weekend, I’d just eat only veggies on the weekends. This is pretty rea...
