stick with it?
h. Currently, what do I estimate my potential to stick
with an exercise program to be?
i. What unmet personal needs am I thinking of
attempting to meet?
j. Am I ready, really ready, to try it? Would I really like
to change, even if it means giving up something I am
accustomed to?
k. Do I think that I can mobilize the mental strength if
that is what I want or need to do?
l. What has my previous experience with personal
health behaviour change been? Good? Bad? Some
success? None? Will that help me this time around?
m. What can I learn from experience that will help this
time? Am I being realistic about this?
n. What is my self- image?
o. Do I think of myself as good-looking? Attractive? Not
attractive? Healthy? Unhealthy?
p. What do I see when I look in the mirror?
O. What kinds of feelings do those images elicit?
q. If I am planning to exercise to help in weight
loss or simply to shape up a currently out of
shape body, will I be able to use the facts that
smaller size clothing now fits and that my waist
is getting smaller as measures of success, rather
than scale weight (which might or might not
change much, even as I am redistributing body
mass)?
5. And further, if I am going to exercise
primarily for weight loss, is my true goal
to become really “thin,“ rather than
somewhat thinner?
