This assignment focusses on a person named Harry, who is a 58-year-old male and works as a chef. Harry has recently been admitted to the hospital due to his hip replacement surgery. Upon assessing the physical health condition of Harry, it is identified that he is overweight and has been suffering from obesity. He weighs 165 kg and by recognising his health condition doctor has recently informed that he should lose weight as his weight might impacts negatively on his physical and mental health. Harry was attentive of his health condition and is slightly conscious too, but due to the absence of self-confidence, he is not able to take the initiative to tackle with his current health situation and hence needs motivation.
