Check your score

Yesterday I posted a self-check for evaluating your readiness to make a healthy (diet) lifestyle change.  I have your scoring guide today:  Numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9-give yourself one point if you answered "true" and zero points if you answered "false."  Numbers 3, 6, 8, 10, and 11-score zero for each "true" and one for each "false."

There are no right or wrong answers, but the higher your total score, the more likely you'll be successful.  If you scored 5-7 points, you may need to reevaluate your reasons for wanting to lose weight and how you anticipate doing so.
If you scored 4 or less, now is probably not the right time for you to take on a weight loss regime.  You might be successful initially, but will have difficulties working past the plateaus.

Find a source for new motivation:  get a subscription to a (reputable) health magazine, partner with a friend to help motivate each of you and share ups/downs of the process, take a step toward planning your calendar including exercise, get a three month gym membership, or hire a trainer to prescribe a training program to help you push through.

There is no time like the present to make something happen!  You've waited long enough!
