Obstacles / Perceptions?

Sometimes, I still will skip breakfast for whatever reasons...

Last Friday, I woke up late. My class started on 8am till 11am. I was planning to have my breakfast after class. However, I ended up waiting for my boyfriend to fetch me over for lunch until the time had passed and reached afternoon.

In the afternoon, only I realised that I skipped my breakfast.

Maintaining My Target!!

In order to reach my target, which is eating breakfast everyday!

I followed the Transtheoretical Model.

The 1st stage is PRECONTEMPLATION.
"I have no plans to eat breakfast everyday."
I did not have plans to change my behavior at first.
To me, skipping breakfast was due to lack of time. So, I was thinking that this can be part of my way to put on weight also.

2nd stage will be CONTEMPLATION.
"I want to eat breakfast everyday."
After I had done the exercise that I mentioned earlier in my previous blog. I realised the importance of breakfast because I do not wish to end my life earlier just because I did not eat breakfast everyday.
So, I was planning to eat my breakfast starting on the next day. But yet, there was no action taken.

3rd stage - Preparation
"I have bought and prepared some breads for my breakfast."
I went to night market to buy some breads for the coming days.

4th stage - Action
"I eat breakfast!"
The next morning, I had my breakfast.

Lastly, the 5th stage - Maintenance
"I am able to make sure myself eating breakfast everyday."
Every morning, I make sure myself eat breakfast. I also requested my family members to remind me of eating breakfast. When there were some challenges appear, I felt nervous and disappointment if I was not able to had my breakfast.

However, before Chinese New Year, there were some failures on my target.


Between, I just found a website which talk about Transtheoretical Model in a quite detail way.
You may refer to the link below.
