The most important thing is NOT how much weight Jenna has lost or how many inches The most important thing would be how she feels: Jenna has stated this month during her transition: I can lift so much more weight than I could a month ago 3 people have asked me if I have lost weight! I am wearing a bikini, I havent worn one in years!!! Slide 7 Conclusion By completing the CREATION assessment, I was able to focus on Jennas spiritual needs and also her physical needs. By addressing Jennas physical needs, I was able to also connect with her psychological needs. She has improved dramatically in the past month in mind, body and spirit, and has decided to make her changes a permanent lifestyle change. Slide 8 References Cummings, D. & Reed, M. (2008).
