Fat to Fit - Health Assessment

This week I received an e-mail from my health fund asking me to do a health assessment - I do these twice a year. 

How to Change to improve your health:

1. Decide if you are ready to change.
   
2. Choose one lifestyle action you wish to improve if you are ready.
   
3. Set goals leading toward changing this behaviour. Think of where, when and why you engage in this unhealthy behaviour, or don't engage in this healthy behaviour.
   
4. Work on one goal at a time.
   
5. Be realistic. Set yourself up for success. Goals that you don't really care about or that are set too high may be un-reachable. Then you may give up.
   
6. Choose positive goals. To stop snacking after dinner, plan a pleasant alternative such as taking a walk or talking to a friend. Add to your life rather than take away.
   
7. Plan measurable goals. If you start exercising, your first goal may be to walk three times a week for 30 minutes.

To help you Stay on the Right Track:

1. Ask for encouragement. Tell friends, relatives and co-workers of your decision. Keep them informed of your efforts.
   
2. Work out a plan that fits your lifestyle.
   
3. Reward yourself after you successfully complete each goal.
   
4. Think positively. Don't give up!
