Health Psychology Short Paper: Designing My Health Plan
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.

have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I

Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.

accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that

if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and

doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.

key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the

become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.

a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in

change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).

also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on

be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will

This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.

The health behavior that I have chosen to set as a goal for myself is modifying my diet and
activity level to lose weight. Although I have been fortunate enough to not struggle much with
weight during my life, as menopause began, and my metabolism slowed down, weight has
become more of an issue for me. My plan is to develop a strategy to reach that goal within the
next six months and 15 to 20 pounds. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight of between
120-140 pounds throughout my life, except for my two pregnancies. As fortunate as that is, I
have never disciplined myself regarding diet and exercise. I suspect that had I experienced
more issues with this, 1 might have considered the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. I grew up in
a home that primarily included fast food, ready-made frozen foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Not having instruction towards a healthy lifestyle at a young age has made it more challenging
as an adult (CDC, n.đ.).
Although I do understand the benefits of diet and exercise to maintain good health, the
appearance factor has encouraged me to focus more on weight loss. Although others do not
necessarily consider me "overweight", my mirror sees things differently. I don't expect to
change all my habits right away, as it has taken me years to form unhealthy habits. Each healthy
habit, even one at a time, will help me reach my goal. I am fortunate to have an employer that
promotes a healthy lifestyle. We participate in a health program (2022) that focuses on
accountability. The program helps us to record our steps, amount of water consumed, and
amount of sleep each night, as well as positive thinking and retraining our brain. The program
also encourages making teams that help push each other and encourage each other. I have been
using this program for a few months and am able to make personal goals aside from the ready-
made goals that the program offers. Stumbling blocks are just that. Stumbling is not falling and
if I am able to catch myself and get back on track, I don't consider them failures. I plan to start
fresh the next day and keep pushing and encouraging myself. Although I don't know that I will
be able to lose weight, I do believe I can change my habits to at least live a healthier lifestyle.
I understand that menopause weight can be very difficult to lose but living healthier could make
me feel better physically and emotionally (Kaiser Permanente, 2018). As an added goal, my
doctor mentioned to me at my last visit that my cholesterol and triglycerides were considerably
elevated, so I expect that the changes in my diet and exercise will help lower those levels as
well.
This goal is not a temporary change, it is a lifelong change. My hope is that once these healthy
habits are in place, they will become how I live. I know that I will never be that person who
eats healthy all the time, sweets are my weakness. I do believe, however, that moderation is the
key, and it is alright to indulge occasionally. A relapse would mean completely giving up all of
my newly learned healthy habits and if I do relapse, I will need to become more disciplined
with my healthy habit program.
