"I Want to Lose Weight, But My Girlfriend..."

Meet Tanner from MTV's I Used to Be Fat - an overweight high school senior who has lost all motivation and has gained 100 lbs in the past year.  Tanner had to quit the wrestling team because of his weight, he can barely bend over and he's too lazy to take control of his weight and his life.

We can't talk about Tanner without talking about his girlfriend, Mikyla.  Tanner is obsessed with his girlfriend - and one of the only reasons he has for wanting to lose weight is so that he can impress her and marry her.

Today we're going to discuss Motivation as it relates to Tanner's life in 2011 - and learn more about what motivation actually is, some of the different components of motivation and a very simplified version of The Motivation Equation.  Since motivation is one of the pillars of successful behavior change - this lesson is one that I hope is helpful for you.

This episode is an emotional rollercoaster - highlighting the fleeting feelings of young love, challenges with the family dynamic with a backdrop of behavior change efforts.  There's a lot to learn from Tanner's story.
