To many it s difficult to make the right choices, many people are living a life of obesity, many are struggling every day just to simply look in the mirror and accept what they see. In this paper I will discuss my own behavior and what I consider to be my poor behavior when it comes to healthy living. All this is a result of my own laziness; all of which I intend on changing through the action of a workable intervention plan.
The target behavior in which my intervention plan will be focused on is my habit to not eat healthy food and the fact that I do not get enough exercise; I work from home and I spend a majority of my day sitting at my desk.

Although the evidence and benefits supporting a healthy diet and lifestyle is well known, most find it difficult or impossible to practice this behavior.…
