The END... ^^

Bad behavior hard to change in a very short time, it need longer time and process, whereas good habit also hard to create and maintain it in a short time. These 10 weeks is a small step for me to realize the harm of my unhealthy lifestyle and the seriousness of my gastric problem. It is also a small step for me to change it. In the future, I still need to take many steps to solve my gastric problem; I still need to put many effort to have a healthy body and I have to maintain all the healthy lifestyle. Without healthy body, we cannot do anything, because health is our wealth. So, in the future, I will keep putting a lot of effort to maintain it.

My behaviour change blog has come to an end. Thanks for supporting and encouraging me. =)

What I did

What I did in the past 10 weeks:

1) Went to do exercise every week

2) Ate my 3 meals on time

3) Ate more vegetables and fruits, but not fried rice everyday

4) Reduce fast food, coffee, spicy food and deep fried food

5) Drink more water and fruit juice

6) Reduce soft drink

7) Slept early

What I did might not enough to cure my gastric problem, but I believe that if I continue and maintain my plan, my gastric problem should be better. At least from the beginning until now, my gastric problem did not occur and my stomach did not always feel uncomfortable like before, so I believe that my gastric problem has become better than before. Besides that, family members and my friends supporting increase my confidence towards my behavior changes.

Confuse...

After several weeks of taking care of my gastric problem, I feel my gastric problem become better. Until now, my gastric problem did not happen at all. =)

In the previous weeks, I followed Mei Ting, Chloe, Chin Seong and Min Wei went to gym in UCSI to exercise at least half an hour. Besides that, I ate every meal on time especially breakfast. I tried my best to control myself avoiding all the snack and chocolate I like. But, sometimes I did not follow my plan >///<. Sometimes when I rush time, I will eat fast food to settle my meal (around 1 time per 2 weeks). So, I am a little bit confusing about whether I fail to follow my plan? >.<

STRESS!!!!

Since most the assignment due date are around the corner, I believe most of our stress level increase rapidly. As all of us learn from Health Psychology, stress is one of the risks that cause illness, not only mentally but also physically. In other words, stress is a circumstance that can influence physiological balance and cause a range of pathological changes.

In a journal I found mentioned that, stress is an identified risk factor that causes gastric lesions. Besides that, stress will also change gastric acidity and gastric acid secretion, which will cause gastric problem become worse.

So, it is better for all of us to find a best way for us to cope or reduce our stress level. It is very important because once we can cope with stress, not only our physical health will improve but also mental health. For me, there are many ways that can reduce my stress. I would like to share at here: singing, sleeping, and sharing with someone all the stressful things I face. After that, I will feel more relax and have more energy to fight with stress again.

Let’s fight with stress and have a healthy life. =]

Reinforcement

I use positive reinforcement to make plan success. But, I failed in the first time, because I’m sure that I will travel to China to visit my eldest brother ant the end of August, so I didn’t really been motivated by it. Now, I want to change my plan. I want to use something really will reinforce me to motivate me. As I like shopping very much, if I reach my goal and follow my plan, my parents will give me RM 200 for shopping!! I’m sure that I will success this time~ ^o^
