There's a model called the "Stages of Change" that was outlined in the 1980's by two therapists* who
were working to find a way to help people quit smoking. If you've ever tried to quit smoking or change a
habit, you've experienced first hand how difficult it can be.
These same stages, it turns out, can be applied to changing virtually any behavior: from smoking
cigarettes, to eating high calorie foods, to following an exercise program! If your goal is to be a person
who enjoys eating a healthy diet while going for walks or playing a sport in your spare time, maybe you've
never considered the science of changing.
Why are some people ready to change their eating behaviors for good, while others go on and off diets
repeatedly and always end up back to their old habits, regaining all the weight, and sometimes more? It
turns out, only you can answer the question of what you are ready for. But perhaps defining your
readiness will become instrumental to your weight loss when you realize there are, in fact, numerous
behaviors you can change, and several stages of readiness for you to move through.
This is where Time for a Change comes in.
It's not about making a 180 degree turnaround from how you eat now
to how you will be eating once you are living healthy. There are many
degrees in between (178 to be exact!) and you can start making your
way, a few degrees at a time, towards the ideal eating behaviors that
will have you on track for a well-balanced, nutritious diet to maintain your
ideal weight. When these changes become habits . . .voila! You are set
for life with a healthy diet because these choices are now second nature.
No more agonizing decisions about what to order when you eat out, lengthy diatribes with your inner angel
and devil over whether or not you should purchase that candy bar, frustrating struggles to avoid the bag
of chips that seems to be calling your name. Just second-nature, healthy habits like you see thin people
around you making effortlessly each day.
The program includes worksheets, instructions, and free support.
The Stages of Readiness worksheet provides you with nine positive changes you can make in your current
lifestyle to move you towards that ideal life of healthy eating and exercise. The key is making these
changes one step at a time. When you are ready. Not sooner.
The Making Changes worksheet guides you to a weekly plan for new habits to replace the old ones. You
choose one new habit to replace an old one each week and try it out to see how it suits you. Each week
you'll work on one more habit. Each month you'll accumulate more weight loss without being on a diet.
More good news: You are also allowed to have a slip up . . . because you are human. While you are
practicing these changes, they may not become ingrained habits for several months. And that's okay.
Ultimately, you will be developing healthy behaviors. This means that each day, from now on, your way of
living will be better than it is today. Soon you will find yourself making healthier choices without thinking
about it!
This program includes two worksheets, with instructions on how to develop new healthier habits, one week
at a time.
