The choice of food along with eating behaviors is more complicated as we thought they were. These two terms are appeared to be shaped by various forces from our physiological systems toward our social and also physical environment. However, we cannot deny the fact that we need to nourish ourselves. Eating behavior is really a complex one if we take a look at the concept that humans have made hundreds of food options every single day which are eventually influenced by a range of personal, social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors. What we eat and how much we eat has a significant influence on our own health.

Eating Behavior to be changed

An eating behavior that I would really like to be changed is the way that I have been preferred to eat fast food rather than other healthier food. I have found quite difficult to change this eating behavior since I have already used to and delight in eating fast food almost every single day. However, I have also realized that this is not a good habit. As we have acknowledged that fast food is not really good for us to consume on a regular basis, in fact, they might also harm our health as well. For this reason, I have motivated myself to change this bad eating behavior that I have.

Desired Goal to be reached in 3 – 9 months

Along with my effort in changing my eating behavior, I have a desired goal that I wish to be achieved in duration between 3 – 9 months. My desired goal is to see myself avoiding eating fast food, and more preferred to consume the fresh, totally cooked food. In addition to this, I would also love to see myself consuming home-made food rather than outside food. The reason is obvious; consuming home-made food is definitely good for our health since we know exactly which types of ingredients used to cook the food.

In the context of my eating behavior force field analysis, the driving forces to support me in changing my eating behavior are:

· A general sense that I could be healthier leads me to a desire for improving my health

· Reduce the risks of getting any serious disease that might be caused by consuming fast food

· Concern about gaining my weight due to my regular consumption of fast food

In contrast, I have also acknowledged that there are some restraining forces for me to achieve the main goal that I have set up to change my eating behavior such as:

· The standard lifestyle in these modern days where people love to eat fast food

· The easy and quick way for me to eat fast food without having to wait too long for the food to be served if I would eat the home-made food

Discussion of How to Change the Eating Behavior

The actions that I could take to reduce the restraining forces above are as follow:

· Read more about the health benefits delivered from the home-made food

· Try to motivate my friends to eat healthier food rather than fast food, if I would go out with them

To make it easier for me, I would also do some actions to strengthen my driving forces with some actions such as:

· Check out my weight daily so that I know that I would find out the benefit of avoiding fast food

· Get advice from the specialist such as my family doctor about the bad effects of consuming fast food on a regular basis

I would take the strategies above to help me out in achieving my goal which is changing my eating behavior. The possibility that I could achieve by conducting my strategies is quite big enough, especially when I would “check out my weight daily so that I know that I would find out the benefit of avoiding fast food.” By doing this, I would be more motivated to reduce my weight and for this, I would try my best to avoid fast food. Also, try to motivate my friends to eat healthier food rather than fast food, if I would go out with them will also help me a lot in eliminating one of my restraining force which is “a standard lifestyle in these modern days where people love to eat fast food.” Overall, I am ready to realize my strategies in changing my eating behavior right now since I know that I would only get succeeded if I have a big motivation right from the start.

The Force Field Analysis of How to Change the Eating Behavior

In Kurt Lewin's forces analysis model, there are forces driving change besides forces restraining it. He clearly mentioned that if there is a balance between the two sets of forces, then there will be no change to be expected (Duch, 2017). For this reason, in order to realize the change, then the driving force should be exceeded than the restraining force.
