- Self-monitoring of a behaviour can be used at times when you're not sure how you're doing, and at times when you want the behaviour to improve. Self-monitoring of a behaviour usually moves you closer to the desired direction and can produce "real-time" records for review by you and your health care provider
- For example, keeping a record of your physical activity can let you and your provider know quickly how you're doing. When the record shows that your activity is increasing, you'll be encouraged to keep it up! Some patients find that specific self-monitoring forms make it easier, while others prefer to use their own recording system.
- While you may or may not wish to weigh yourself frequently while losing weight, regular monitoring of your weight will be essential to help you maintain your lower weight. When keeping a record of your weight, a graph may be more informative than a list of your weights. When weighing yourself and keeping a weight graph or table, however, remember that one day's diet and exercise patterns won't have a measurable effect on your weight the next day. Today's weight is not a true measure of how well you followed your program yesterday, because your body's water weight will change from day to day, and water changes are often the result of things that have nothing to do with your weight-management efforts!
