Key Components of Accountability in Weight Control
In the world today, many people provide accountability in our society. The government's purpose is to interpret and enforce the rules and regulations that allow society to run smoothly. In essence these people help provide accountability to the citizens of our country. Similarly, it is vital for a successful long term weight controller to have a system of accountability in his program.
Generally, there are two key components of accountability in weight control: monitoring weight and monitoring food intake. A weight controller may eat 2000 calories a day and assume that he will lose weight, but until he steps on the scale, he will have no way of knowing for sure. Over the long run, weighing oneself regularly is a good way of tracking success in weight control. If a weight controller sees that he has gained 30 pounds over the course of year, he knows that he has to make some adjustments to his healthy obsession program.
The other important aspect of accountability in weight control is daily self-monitoring of food intake. Just as stepping on a scale will provide weekly feedback to a weight controller, self-monitoring will provide daily feedback. By writing down everything that he consumes during a day, a weight controller will know if he is eating too much, too little, or the appropriate amount for his ideal calorie range.
