Reinforcement-Pick a behavior to increase

You must identify the behavior.

To lose weight by excersize and eating fruits and vegetables. I've been trying to lose 10 lbs.

You must identify the reinforcers.

The reinforcers: weight lose and being healthy.

You must identify the type of reinforcer. (i.e. primary, etc)

For every fruits and vegetables that I eat, I can treat myself to a little junk food or dessert, such as ice cream or candy. Everytime I do an excersize, I will praise myself how good I'm doing afterward. Telling the self that I'm improving.

You must indicate when the reinforcer will be delivered.

The reinforcers will be delivered after I complete an excersize or eat my fruits and vegetables.

You must then follow the plan.

My plan is that if I eat fruits and vegetable twice a day and do a regular 10 minute excersize once a day, I can treat myself to having a junk food or dessert twice a week. Also, after every excersize I will praise myself of how good I am doing and that will make me feel good.
This plan will make me feel good about losing weight and feels highly motivate about myself.
