1. Are you motivated to make long-term lifestyle changes that require eating healthy foods and exercising more?
2. Have you addressed distractions in your life that could affect your commitment to a weight-loss program?
3. Do you accept that there's no quick fix? Healthy weight loss takes time (around 1 to 2 pounds a week). Don't expect to lose more than that.
4. Have you resolved any eating disorders or other emotional issues that make it difficult for you to achieve a healthy weight?
5. Are you ready to change your eating habits?
6. Are you motivated to get more physically active?
7. Are you realistic about your weight-loss goal?
8. Do you have family and friends to support your weight-loss efforts?
9. Do you have time to keep records of your food intake and physical activity?
10. Are you willing to look at past successes and failures in weight loss and other areas of your life?
11. Do you view a healthy-weight program as a positive experience?
If you answered "Yes" to all questions, then you are ready to commit to diet and achieve permanent weight loss.
if you answered "No" to one or more question, then you might not be ready yet. It is best to resolve your personal issues first so you won't have any distractions when you start your diet.
