BBR Chapter 7 Week 3
Day 15 – Monitor Your Eating
Beck wants us to monitor our eating because:
It helps you remain accountable for what you actually eat. It helps you strengthen your motivation by having an opportunity to give yourself credit for eating according to your plan. It helps to build your confidence because you focus on how well you are following the plan you begin to believe you can stay on a diet. It helps you recognize and solve problems. When you review your eating plan each day you can see if you strayed from your eating plan and why and you can figure out how to fix the problem in the future.
To monitor you eating she says to:
Follow your food plan that you’ve made. Monitor you eating by noting* what you’ve eaten on your food plan. Give yourself credit every single time you stick to your food plan. Respond to sabotaging thoughts if you eat something you shouldn’t.
(*) How to make notes on your food plan:
Put a check mark next to the things you ate that were written on your plan. Cross out anything you had planned on eating but didn’t. Circle any food that you ate too much of and write down and circle any food you ate that you hadn’t planned on eating. Make the notes right after you eat so you don’t forget what you ate.
How do you keep track of what you eat?
