 This is a woman’s success weight loss story from a TV Show. Her name is Jen. She is in her early thirty. She was heavy most of her life. All the women in her family are over 200 pounds, so she figured her inherit genes to be overweight. Also, her mother is a great baker so she used to snacking on cookies and pies all the time. After graduated from college her first job was medical therapist. She saw the devastating effects of excess weight, like diabetes, heart disease and stroke. She said that she learned all health risks of being overweight at school but when she actually working with patients, it spurred her to break unhealthy habits. She decided to start exercise. At first, she walks ten minutes then run five minutes. By the end of her fifteen-week program, she able to run thirty minutes nonstop and lost total of twenty pounds. At the same time she began write a food journal to improve her diet. It really helps her more aware of what she ate before it she ate when she bored and stressed, so she start eating less junk food and more fruits and veggies. Soon after, she was hired by a new hospital and met very fitness-oriented co-workers. She joined a group that runs every day, they kept her motivated.

First motivation concept is drive-reduction theory; the idea that a physical need creates an aroused state that drives the organism to reduce the need. When Jen exercises she became thirsty. According to drive reduction theory, she drinks water in order to reduce her thirsty. Second motivation concept is optimum arousal theory. Humans not only motivated by physical needs also, we action that produced tension, not reduced it. Even after she reached her target weight, she continues to exercise and even signed up for running races. Third, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs; once our lower-level needs are met for example, basic physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs. We are prompted to satisfy our higher-level needs such as, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. For Jen, her lower-level needs are met; she got basic needs for food, safe home and fished her education then got a good job. After saw patients who suffers because of excess weight then she began to worries about her own health. Last motivation concept is sexual motivation. It is nature’s clever way to making people procreate, thus enabling our species’ survival. When two people feel attracted, they hardly stop to think of themselves as guide by their genes. Therefore, Jen and her fiancé attracted each other and they engaged.
