To score : add up the numbers of your answers, for example,
if you answered question 6 "occasionally", give yourself
3 points.

motivations and commitment and unrealistic goals could block
your progress. Think about what contributes to your unreadiness
and consider changing these factors before undrtaking a diet.
17-23: You may be close to being ready to begin a program but should
think about ways to boost your preparedness.
24-30: The path is clear: you can decide how to lose to lose weight
