Personal Change Experiment

In accordance with the instructions for this personal experiment, I am putting to the test my consumption of hot spicy food. The duration of this experiment is 21 days, and my objective is to note and document my experience during these periods of time of which I would be abstaining from hot spicy food.

Judging from my background the consumption of hot spice and the likes have been an integral part of my diet and my family except for my fathers. Hot peppers are generally the produce that my family use to make hot sauce soup, which is applied to anything. Particularly the Ѓgred savillas,Ѓh also known as the Habanero peppers. For the purpose of this experiment the unit of heat known as ЃgscovilleЃh is used to measure the intense heat generated by hot produce or peppers.

My physical condition of late reveals that I have periodic stomach nausea and occasional heart burn as well as decreased energy coupled with some psychological aspects that can be described as Ѓgedgy.Ѓh And interestingly the report that would be documented from this experiment will reveal the relevance of the medical conditions described within this context.

This experiment began on the 3rd of October 2005. I did not eat any of the hot soup prepared by my mother Ѓg what is wrong with you,Ѓh are my mothers words. And for a fact the food tasted incomplete without the normal application of the soup, nevertheless, that was my only encounter with the hot soup for that day. The experiment carried on through the days of the week, three days from the initial start day, their was another opportunity for me to partake of the hot spicy soup. I was firm not to eat of it at all, but I resorted to eating two spoon full from my siblings plate, which of course contained the hot soup. I was in denial, reasoning that I had only eating two spoons, the reality was that I felt bad about my lack of discipline. At the conclusion of the week I noted that I had only resorted to eating the hot soup only once in comparison to non experimental days and for a day I had skipped my early morning episodes of nausea. I concluded that it had to be coincidental.

My frequency and probability of eating at home depends heavily on my presence at home, otherwise I would be at school or work. That having been said, I have by now refrained from eating hot spice food for six days now, and interestingly I do not crave for it. I am tempted only when I have to eat food that I usually eat with hot peppered spice. Up until the fifteenth day, I was doing very good to my regiment of abstaining from ЃgHSS.Ѓh As mentioned on day fifteen, I believe pounded yam a typical Nigerian dish was prepared for dinner and it had to be eating with hot spicy soup. So, I eat my full, then went to bed thereafter.
