Eat all meals alone for 2 days. Try to also engage in physical activity alone for the same 2 days that you eat your meals alone. Compare/contrast this to eating your meals with or engaging in physical activity with another person or other people. Keep a diary and make note of the following:
How were your food intake and activity affected by social isolation?
How did you feel eating alone or engaging in physical activity alone?
What were your mood, appetite, and activity like?
Why do you think there was a change if any in the type of, quantity, and/or quality of the food when you ate alone or engaged in activity alone?
How do you think the elderly feel after a spouse dies or if they are left alone?
