Our behavioral scientists have compiled these additional insights for you to consider as you begin your journey with Mayo Clinic Diet.
What’s driving your motivation
Motivation to be healthier and improve your lifestyle can be driven by positive or negative forces. You have lower levels of good quality motivation than average. Trying to re-focus the reasons you pursue lifestyle goals on things that are important to you, or that you think are part of you, will help you boost up the good quality drivers. This will help you achieve greater success in the long term.
The quality of your motivation is highest for healthy eating, so you may find it’s easier to focus on this behaviour when trying to manage your weight.
Your identity and aspirations
We behave in ways which reinforce who we want to be. You want to identify as someone who is Fit & Healthy and someone who is Driven so try combining these images of yourself with your goals to help you stay on track. For example, rather than setting your mind on an outcome such as reaching a certain weight, focus on who you want to be and how changing your behavior can help you be someone who is Fit & Healthy.
You also seem to be mostly driven by personally-rewarding aspirations, which are the most motivating because they come from within. When you set goals for weight loss, try to tie them to things that are important to you (i.e. health, happiness). Tying your goals with what matters to you most can help you be more successful.

Tips to make it fun
When you do things you love they require very little effort. Weight loss can have so many positive impacts on your life, but it can also be challenging at times. So here are some suggestions on how you can combine what you love with a healthy lifestyle to help lift you up.
Connecting with others
Reaching out to others or joining the Mayo Clinic Diet community is a great way to connect with new friends and stay focused on a healthy lifestyle. All members are invited to join our private Facebook group where the support and motivation are off the charts!
Pets
If you have a dog, walk it often to help you be more active. If you don’t, volunteer to walk a neighbor’s dog. Caring for pets of any kind can boost your sense of wellbeing which is important for all-round health.
