Deliberate practice approach

"What should I give up this year"- my question to myself

Two years ago I started giving things up.   Every year I give up foods that control me.   Two years ago I have up sugar.  I now do not miss adding sugar at all.

This year I have up chocolate.  It was hard and I expect that my daily cravings are not going to return. Just like sugar I will be able to control my desire for sugar and chocolates instead of them controlling me.

That is self a victory of the self in my eyes.

The other day a person suggested that I give up dairy for a year.  I immediately noted it and have not been able to get it out of my mind. I believe that it will be even harder that the other two challenges.

So for 2015 I will not drink milk, eat ice cream, eat cheese, drink yogurt, or drink kefir. I am giving up five things instead of one.

I expect that this will test me unlike the other two.   The other two were tough but these five will really push my eating habits.  I suspect that in the end I will prevail.  I also expect that these will have minimal effect on my health.

Today's question is:

"What food controls you?"
