Behavioral Basics – I have to practice acting on the beginning of the behavior chain. It isn’t enough to just recognize it. If that is all I do, likely I will recognize myself doing the exact same thing with the exact same consequences.
Eleanor used to always say, in response to a direct question as to how she was doing, “Well, I’m watching”. Turned out she watched herself gain back 20 lbs. (like the Sea Food Diet T shirt – when I see food I eat it). Fortunately she did eventually figure out that watching wasn’t quite enough. She had to stop keeping pretzels in the house “for her husband”.
