My behavior change focus will be on losing weight, But in a healthy way by going to the
gym and eating healthy. I have never really felt good in my body, its not that im obese, I’m just
not skinny like all the ohter girls. I have tried all of the crazy diets and weird tricks that I found
on the internet. I also have Snapchat and Instagram, which don’t really help me feel good about
the way I look. Nothing has worked for me to be able to lose weight, but hopefully this will work
for me.
My progress this week on improving my behavior change was to combine eating healthy
and working out. But the bad news is that I did not do that even once this week. I have just had a
very busy week and just completely forgot about doing this. I know this probably isn’t the best
place to be at when we are already past halfway through this behavior change project. But I am
convinced that I can turn this around for what is left of the week and next week.
I think right now I have actually back tracked to the uninformed optimism of the
emotional cycle of chance. I have just lost my determination for this whole behavioral change
project, but I want to be determined again. I want to complete this project and hopefully I can get
this back next week. So I have gone back to the part of this project where I don’t think this is fun,
but I still want to do it. I'm starting this all over again and it is probably going to be a longer
journey the second time.
There wasn’t really anything or anyone helping me towards my goal this week because I
just didn’t do it. I have just been so tied up in work and homework and classes, that I completely
forgot. So instead of having helpers I have distractions, like this week I didn’t have the social
support I had before. My friends and roommates had stuff to do, so I didn’t want to ask them to
go with me. So I just didn’t pressure them to help me and without them I don’t have any reason
to try.
The challenges that I faced this week on my weight loss goal was time management. I
couldn’t find the time to do everything I needed to. So I pushed away the thing on the bottom of
my to-do list, which was my goal. I know that wasn’t what I was supposed to do, but this wasn’t
the best week for me. This was the hardest week for me in this behavior change project to stay on
target. But I think with determinations, and a lot of effort it will work out.
