“Why I Want to Reach My Goal
Weight”
Name: Date:__________________
Before writing your reasons down,
give them some thought. It is important that these 12 reasons be
true personal goals and desires.
They should not be generalizations or
what you think would please others because they will be used as your
“personal motivator.”
Take a few moments from time to time
each day to thoughtfully read through this list. This is called
mental programming.
The original of your 12 reasons list is retained in your medical file. You will
be given a copy to carry at all times. We suggest that you also transfer your
list onto a 3 x 5 card which may be more convenient.
Make
a promise to yourself now:
“I
will read the entire card whenever I am confronted with a difficult food
situation.”
Reading the list will clearly reinforce your personal commitment to take
control of your health and self-esteem.
