The Vegetarian 100 days challenge week 6 has gone! Wow, I felt like I just started!

CHALLENGES:

Up to now, there is always a challenge.

This week was the homemade Cambodian style porridge with chicken. There are a few different kinds of porridge. But the chicken or fish flavor is my most favorite of all.

My mom had to make it for one of my cousins who aren’t feeling well. Porridge is sometimes given to sick people, so they can recover faster. It’s equivalence to serving chicken soup to a sick person.

However, it’s one of the most common breakfasts we eat. I eat that thing at any time of the day! We serve it with homegrown bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, chili sauce, and a few other herbs on top. It’s SUPER yummy.

Well, I get to smell and looked at it as I’ve been for these past six weeks.  I almost lost my mind to chicken porridge!

The next challenge was I had an unexpected hectic schedule this week. There isn’t a quick and easy “fast food vegetable” eatery around.

It was a good thing that I stocked up fruits and brought them with me. They were my lifesaver for the week.

Getting junk food is so convenience. Fast food places are in every corner, like mushrooms.

Before doing this challenge, I wasn’t fully paying attention to vegetarian restaurants. Well, I didn’t have to find a place that serves decent vegetarian dishes.

MENTAL DISCIPLINE:

Mental discipline is a silent boss. Will you listen to the boss?

It’s so difficult for me to control the craving if I see the food. I have no problem if I don’t see it. You can tell me all about food as long as you don’t put it in front of me.

If it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. It doesn’t bother me.

No wonder so many food commercials always have pictures of the food. They want to torture us!

PHYSICAL CHANGE:

As I mentioned last week that I’ve gained weight. The major contribution to that was I’ve been eating more sweets and often.

As part of my self-discipline to avoid addiction, I cut down on consuming sugar or sweets.

Overall, I think my body is about 65%  adjusting to the new diet. It is to my surprise that it takes my body longer to adapt to the new diet regiment.

On the plus side, I am not as hungry as I used to be! That is the best thing that happens this week. I still eat about the same portion.

WHAT IS ON MY MIND?

Unhealthy food industries are dominating our society. If you are not aware of how the food you put on your plates every single meal is being processed and where they come from, you should do some researches. At least stay informed for your family and own sake.

It saddens me that we, in a way, are poisoning ourselves each bite we swallow down the throats when we make unhealthy food choices.

The food and health regulations need to place tougher rules and restrictions to protect the people: US.

If things continue to be the same as today and nothing will be done, it’ll get worse.

The next generations will suffer tremendously. That’s a GUARANTEE!

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”  ― George Bernard Shaw, Man, and Superman

Which one do you love more: Food or you? It’s a thin line between the two.

Will I make it to week seven? May 2nd, 2016 is the intended end date.
