Elisa Ma. Pascacio Muoz A01171556-IQP 9 de septiembre de 2013

For my 15 days challenge i decided to stop eating sabritas because i eat a bag of sabritas (the one that are not industrial) every day, and i felt motivated by this Project to improve my health by trying to eat a less amount of sabritas per week, or if posible, do not eat them. First week (monday august 19th, to 23rd friday)

When i was at the high school (in the colegio La Salle), there were some fries that were more natural, because they were not like the of the industrial ones, like sabritas or barcel, even the bag was 100% plastic and there were of two types: spicy and natural; and ive always loved spicy food and snacks so i used to buy a bag of spicy fries every day and i puted them salsa. Obviously, thats really unhealthy but i think i was kind of addicted to that stuff, and because i was doing some exercise in the afternoons, i didnt feel that bad. But my mom always asked me if i hade aten snacks at the school and i always answer her i didnt. This first week i think i dint do a good work because i ate 3 bags in the week. And not only that bad habit its killing my stomach, but also its killing my wallet. One bag is $15.00 per 5 days per week equals $75.00 from he $100.00 that my dad gives me toe at at school when its necessary . But i only ate 3 bags (that equals $45.00) so, i yhink that is a good start.

Second week (monday august 26th, to 30th friday)

This week was better because i only ate 1 bag, but i think it was only because i had lots of homework to do so i didnt eat either. I used my free hours to study and to do my homework, and also to go to my fellow service and the tutoring program. So i think i didnt eat that amount of fries because i was verry busy. At home i did a little research and i found that the Word sabritas its the acronym for sabrosas grasitas. It was a little company trat started selling some snaks like nachos, chicharrn and with the tecnology revolutions they started using articicial flavoring such as peroxide of potatoe, chloride, silicone, and other chemical products that are unhealthy and even toxic for human beings. Besides that, the natural potatoe fries have vegetable oil, which has kind of adictive substances, which is also bad but not as the other ones. After that research i think i can say i purchased a Little bit of more awareness about taking care of my life and avoid that kind of toxic and dangeruos products.

 Last week (monday august 2nd, to 6th friday) This last week i think i overcame my self , because i didt eat sabritas. But also it was because i didnt have time to eat between clases thanks to the tons of homework that i had to do. I think i could have done a better job, its all about willpower. I think that many people have enough that willpower to do what they want but its always difficult to start doing something, i mean giving the first step, we always say that we will do it tomorrow or next monday, we look for excuses trying not to do it the actual day, we keep holding over stuff that we can do at the exact momento. Another example could be diets; when people want to star with a diet, we always say that we will do it in a certain period of time, starting tomorrow, or next monday, but never at that time; and also, when we decide to start doing it or the day that we propose finally arrives we do our best and as far as we can tell, it was a good start, it didnt hurt that much. For the next day many people opt to modify the times for sauted days or one time per week, and stuff like that, or they keep moving on but like in a lower intensity. Otherwise, keeping on with diets its really hard because it takes a lot of courage and willpower not to start but to continue.
