Next, delve deeper into your chosen option and start with a goal setting process to make the food habit change. Complete the SMART Goal sheet below
If you have further questions about setting this goal, or want to know if your goal is appropriate for this assignment, please ask an instructor before continuing on to Part 3.
SMART GOALS FOR FOOD BEHAVIOUR CHANGE | |
Primary change behavior | |
Specific – define your goal in as much detail as possible: who, what, where and when | |
Measurable – how are you going to track your outcome and progress | |
Action – what steps will you take to achieve your goal | |
Realistic – how confident are you about achieving your goal | |
Time – how long will it take for you to complete your goal | |
Practice the action steps you set above for three days and record this in the Food behaviour change log below. You will submit this activity log with your reflection.
After three days of engaging in your healthy eating habit, write a one-page reflection (typed, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, Time New Roman size 12 font, with a new paragraph for each of the three sections). This summary/reflection should contain:
1. Why did you choose this food pattern to change and Why did you choose the SMART goals criteria you did?
2. How did this food behavior change impact you? The following prompt questions might be helpful to shape your thoughts:
o What were some of the challenges you experienced with this habit?
o What were some of the benefits you experienced when you practiced this habit?
3. Is this a habit you would like to continue? Why or why not?
