Readiness Inventory

    Are you psychologically ready to lose weight and be more active? Many people don’t “stick to” a weight loss plan or exercise program, because they’re really not ready for one. Please consider the following statements, and whether you would answer “Yes” or “No”.

-Yes-No	I have thought a lot about my eating habits and physical activities to pinpoint what I need to change.
-Yes-No	I have accepted the idea that I need to make permanent, not temporary, changes in my eating and activities to be successful.
-Yes-No	I will only feel successful if I lose a lot of weight.
-Yes-No	I accept the idea that it is best if I lose weight slowly.
-Yes-No	I'm thinking of losing weight now because I really want to, not because someone else thinks I should.
-Yes-No	I think losing weight will solve other problems in my life.
-Yes-No	I am willing and able to increase my regular physical activity.
-Yes-No	I can lose weight successfully if I have no “slip ups.”
-Yes-No	I am ready to commit some time and effort each week to organizing and planning my food and activity programs.
-Yes-No	Once I lose some initial weight, I usually lose the motivation to keep going until I reach my goal.
-Yes-No	I want to start a weight loss program, even though my life is unusually stressful right now.
-Yes-No	I think the best way to lose weight is to go on a diet that tells you exactly what food to eat and how much of it.
-Yes-No	I realize that I need to be patient and consistent in taking small steps toward my goal.
-Yes-No	I am becoming more interested in being healthy and active, rather than just focusing on the number of pounds I want to lose.
