Situation: My mother is on diet. She is trying to eat healthy food and trying not to eat too much. It has lasted for one month and everything was going well. One day, when I came home from school, she had been eating a lot of sweets and snacks. I was surprised and couldn’t understand the situation.
Describe Behavior: My mother is on diet and she has kept eating healthy food for one month. One day, I found she was eating a lot of unhealthy food.
First Interpretation: “I am not sure whether something bad happened to her”
Second Interpretation: “or just got so hungry”
Clarification: What’s wrong with you?
The perception check was positive and successful. When I asked, she said she is stressed out because she eats only healthy food for a month.
