The Life at Your Best Plan: Individual Assessment & Consultation
When you start the Life at Your Best Plan, you will work with a highly experienced therapist to identify your areas of strength to build on, and areas that stop you from reaching your goals. You will create a specific, comprehensive plan tailored to your needs, which you will track daily and adjust as needed.

While developing a detailed plan over the first three individual sessions, you will
examine your:

• Prior attempts to change your lifestyle and their outcomes
• Current lifestyle, including eating patterns, exercise, and social connections
• Reasons for wanting to make changes
• Attitudes toward yourself and your appearance
• Weight, body fat percent, and physical and health goals

Using this information, you and your therapist will design an individualized plan — which may include con-tinued individual therapy, group therapy, support groups, and the latest resources to help you achieve measurable and sustainable results. Over the remaining sessions, you will be coached through the plan as you encounter the obstacles that have stopped you in the past, such as inability to control your portions or maintain your exercise routine. As you progress, you will easily be able to track your progress in eating patterns, exercise, significant health markers, and how you feel.
