If you are serious about losing weight and improving your health, then you will need to make some changes to your usual eating habits and physical activity levels. But rather than simply focusing on what weight you want to get to, we are encouraging you to think about:
- What concerns you most about your weight and lifestyle
- What things have stopped you from being a healthier weight, and
- What changes you can make to address them.
These could be to with your eating or activity habits or how you think, feel (and react) about food and your weight.
Before you can make changes you need to have a clear picture of what you are doing now and want to achieve – and also work through any potential pitfalls. The following sections will guide you through that. |

When you make any change, there are always down-sides (the cons) as well as up sides (the pros). Write down your own pros and cons of losing weight.

Use your diary to identify any real problem areas or barriers making the changes you want to make. For example, do you often eat when stressed or bored? Are food cravings a problem? Do you pick at food in the car or in front of the television? Do you skip breakfast? Do you plan to do some exercise but never quite make it? Write these down in your Personal Plan.
