For the next few weeks as part of the class you will be asked to keep track of the food you are eating. For the first week we will conduct a baseline of the food you are eating. You will probably need to carry a small note pad or something manageable to record eating. It should be something that you can carry around since eating takes place in a variety of settings.
You will need to record the time, date and what you ate. Please try to estimate the number of calories you consumed as well. Do the best you can. Please also note the context (antecedent) of the eating behavior. For example I was at my friends house, we were out having fun, for lunch at school, I was busy with my homework....
Please make the recordings as soon as possible so you don't forget what you ate or forget the circumstances.
We will do this for a week and turn in the baseline recordings this coming Tuesday in class.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the class project,

This video clip is not what I expected, but it was very unique and inspirational. I also liked it because it is up to date and catches your attention.
This video clip would be seen by a behaviorist as a positive reinforcer. When someone gives an inspirational speech, the main goal is to get the audiences attention, and hopefully reinforce positive outlooks and positive behavior to anyone listening.
