But they couldn't make me do it. These goals are reviewed every day, using the Daily Nutrition Diary form shown below. The key to input control is the planning and recording of on this daily eating form. This process made me face the fact of what was actually passing my lips, something family never believed I was being truthful to myself about. Each item eaten is recorded by name, quantity, calorie, sodium, and fat content.
Note is made as to location and activity when eating takes place.
Reviews are held with the nutritionist, Maureen. Corrective action can take place when goals are missed. Self praise results and positive reinforcement takes place when goals are met each day. Like I said, each days input is recorded and the totals compared with these goals. It has been interesting to see how expensive against these goals some foods really are - i.e., that tiny bag of potato chips mentioned above.
