Set Your Goals!

Checking In & Goal Setting Check in with yourself and your support people regularly about how things are going with the diet study. Answer these questions to help you follow through with diet and lifestyle changes: •

Did I track my fat intake, how did it go and what did I notice?

What do I hope to have happen over the next week in regards to adjustments I need to make?

What ways have I been planning my meals and cutting back on fat?

What am I excited about trying or willing to try over the next week or two?

Stay with it – what can help you to change/adapt this diet or modify a habit is to be concrete and specific about what you hope to achieve. Take these smart and detailed “goal setting” steps to continue making small changes. For example, instead of “I’ll have less oil,” choose to:

I will only use two teaspoons oil 5 days this week. (Action plan.) A. What will I do? (exactly what is going to happen)

Measure out the oil to use on the pan to coat the pan or cook. Can also use a few drops on my salads.

B. When will I do it? (when is the best time this will happen) Lunch and/or dinner meals.

C. How or how much will I do it? (what is realistic for you to do)

1 teaspoon for cooking, the other teaspoon optional as salad dressing. Aim for 5 days this week.

D. Where will I do it? (what is the best environment for you to do this)

At home or I can measure out and put the oil in a little container if I go out, to put on my salad or vegetables.

E. With someone/by myself? (who or what will help you to be accountable) Will ask my spouse to remind me about it. And track it.
