Use a short-term goal as "I want to lose weight like 30-50 pounds" and convert it into a SMART goal by writing a response to the following outline points:

1. 1. SMART Goal Outline
      • Specific (What is it and is it clear?)
      • Measurable (How are you going to track your progress so you know when you've achieved this? This is particularly important because you'll need to share this tracking mechanism in Module 5 and for the extra credit Check-Ins. Notes on your iPhone, on your wall calendar, in a journal, on your impeccable spreadsheet, in a public blog where you share what your psych professor made you do, etc.?)
      • Achievable (Is this realistic for you? Don't just say yes. Say, I know I can achieve this because....[insert skill you have, that you're already doing some of this just not consistently, consequence if you don't change this behavior, share how you can start this in the next few weeks, etc.])
      • Relevant (Is this connected to your values or the values of important stakeholders? Why is this important to you?)
      • Time-bound (Can this be started and tracked during this class?)
