a) Where am I now in my life? How did I get here?

- I’m currently in my first year of college, taking up a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. I got
here because of my hard-work and especially because of my parents who are supporting me
physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially.

b) What do I like about myself, my body? What do I not like?

- What I like about myself is how thoughtful I am. What I don’t like about myself is my physical
flaws. Although it’s normal, sometimes I just feel insecure.

c) What is it about my body and mind that I am unhappy with that could be positively affected by
exercising regularly?
- I think yes, because your insecurities can make you improve yourself. My flaws
(specifically my fats) are the main reason why I exercise.

d) What would I like to change, if anything, and why?

- I want to improve my mindset. I want to become more positive on how I see things.

e) What is going on in my life that would facilitate behavior change? Inhibit it?
- I think growth? Because as we grow, our minds become bold. We encounter different
people with different perspectives which can influence our perspectives also.

f) Where am I now in my physical activity level?

- I’m actually at the middle level, because as of now It’s not my priority. My study consumes
most of my time, that's why I can’t exercise daily.

- Yes, several times.

- Healthy diet like low carbohydrates or calorie deficit.

j) Am I really, really ready, to try it? Would I really like to change, even if it means giving up something I
am accustomed to?
- Of course, why not? If it’s for my good, I’m willing to try it.

k) Do I think that I can mobilize the mental strength if that is what I want or need to do?
 - Yes.

l) What has my previous experience with personal health behavior change been? Good? Bad? Some
success? None? Will that help me this time around?
- It's been good. I think I improved a lot.

m) What can I learn from experience that will help me this time? Am I being realistic about this?
- I became more cautious and careful about my actions.

n) What is my self-image?
- Strong and positive.

o) Do I think of myself as good-looking? Attractive? Not attractive? Healthy? Unhealthy?
