Week 5
This past week has been somewhat bittersweet. The organic-eating lifestyle is becoming more and more habitual, and I ate organically for the whole week. I also started to log what I eat for the week just to keep track; the bitter part is mainly the positive reinforcement/punishments... Although I should of rewarded myself with a movie this week, there was nothing to see. And the punishment of running/workiung out is what I ended up doing instead. So in a way, I punished myself for doing the right thing for week 5. Hmm. I'm thinking my positive reinforcement is a bit too specific. What I had in mind is keeping it general. I can just go out and do something I feel I would enjoy at that point in time. Any better ideas?

Hey Josh,
ReplyDeleteWhat about X-Men?! (I'm only half-kidding
I don't think it's a big deal if you miss a reinforcement. Remember that a non-continuous schedule of reinforcement is actually supposed to be more helpful.
I hear X-Men is good. You can watch it as reinforcement. If you want to change your positive reinforcement, you can do something you would like, such as buying a new clothes or game.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing a good job! What exactly do you eat?
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that making your reward less specific is a good idea, if you think you will actually do it. Mine is really specific too, and its not helping that much. Good luck!
