Taking Charge of Situations
  1. Just like other cues, the things that other people do and say can have an influence on your behavior.
  2. Review your Food and Activity Diary. Are there times when your eating or physical activities were influenced by others (positively or negatively)?
  3. Make a list of both positive and negative examples. For negative examples, think of ways that you can either avoid or change the cue, or make your response something that will help you manage your weight.
The following two handouts contain information that may help you to take charge of these situations.
