Target Behavior: My intended target behavior is reducing the amount of junk food I eat. Currently, there’s not a day that goes by where I do not consume chips or sweet, or any kind of unhealthy snack. When it comes to studying or being stressed out, I’m always turning to junk so the house is always filled with junk food. Other times I won’t get three meals into my daily routine, and end up chips or any type of junk goodies in replace of a meal.

Short Term Goals: One of my short term goals include only having one junk goodie a day and in the event I crave more, I substitute it with a serving of fruits or maybe even a granola bar.

Cues and Modifications: Currently, the main factor that is prompting me to go through with this is the idea of seeing the effect cutting back on junk food has on me. For example, whenever I’m stressed out I resort to eating all of these unhealthy goodies and as a result, I break out. I would like to see if all the junk food I consume can be a result for breaking out. Another factor is seeing if junk food has an affect on exerting energy. After consuming certain junk, I feel drained. As of now, these are the two main reasons prompting me to follow through with this target behavior.

Rewards and Frequency for Rewards: At the very end of this project, I do intend on treating myself to a day at the spa. I also have a weekly reward that if I follow through with my plan, at the end of each week I will set aside $5 in an envelope.
