Level 4: Return to the Aurora [4/12/22 | 249.6 lbs]

Types of reinforcement.

General Notes

Overate yesterday night. Nothing too terrible - some extra junk food that pushed me over my cap by a fair bit, but not a trademarked 4000 calorie binge. I was about to overreact to it by planning some new project or whatever, but no. I learned from yesterday's Noom articles about the highs and lows of motivation. 

Ride it out. Keep going.

Sketching today's meals

Daily Article Notes

Relevant notes from my daily set of Noom articles.

• Next, some things that impact motivation. Positive reinforcement (reward) increases the chance of repeating a thing and negative (punishment) decreases it.
• A while back, I read about the behavior chain. Trigger > Thought > Action > Consequence. Rewards impact the consequence.
• That's part of the value of this blog, actually. It serves as a positive reinforcement! It's an extra bonus reason for me to not give up, since I get to share more Subnautica with you all, and just flat out NOT GIVE UP on a blog like this. 
• They also suggest shifting away from a removal mindset towards an addition mindset. I agree with this. I'm going to continue trying new recipes.
