At the beginning of the behavior change process, I easily motivated because I had just gotten done being sick and began to feel restored. The second week of this process was a challenge.

Within the third week it became easier to set aside time to participate in physical activity. The more that I was physically active, the more motivated I became.

This doesn't just include cutting out junk food or eating more vegetables, for me this also includes actually remembering to eat.

    I am a very lazy person, and I tend to only do what I want to during any free time I have, ruling out any possibilities of exercising. I was able to exercise off and on, but the instances were so oddly spread apart that I doubt it would have had any noticeable, lasting effect. The times when I actually did work out, my legs and arms were so sore that I did not feel like ever exercising again. Motivation was definitely my biggest challenge, and I still struggle with it even now. I wish that I would have been able to keep a consistent food log, but even that was hard to manage.…

Some young adults and even adults struggle to constantly exercise; but, if they use some of concepts defined within operant conditioning they may create a behavior that sticks with them for the rest of their lives.
