Baseline Snapshot — Your Starting Point

Before we change anything, we need to know where you actually are right now — not where you think you should be, not where you were six months ago, and not the version of yourself you are trying to perform for this program. Where you actually are. Your baseline is a snapshot. It captures your food noise level, your current eating rhythm, your movement patterns, your sleep, your stress, and your energy. It gives us a real starting point so that six weeks from now, twelve weeks from now, and twenty-four weeks from now, we can look back and see what actually changed — not just what the scale says, but how you feel, how you function, and how much mental space food is taking up. This is not a test. There is no wrong answer. The only mistake you can make here is being dishonest.

Most women come into a program like this already in self-improvement mode. They clean up their eating the week before they start. They try to look like a good student before the first lesson. That impulse is understandable, but it works against you here. If your baseline is artificially clean, we lose the real data. We lose the picture of what your life actually looks like — and that picture is what Dr. Ty uses to personalize your plan, spot patterns, and know when something is working versus when it just looks like it is working. The other reason this matters: most women have been measuring progress by the scale for so long that they have no other language for it. This week gives you a new vocabulary. Food noise. Energy. Hunger timing. Stress load. Clothes fit. These are all real signals, and they are all going to matter more than the number on the scale over the next six months.

Complete the Baseline Snapshot form below. Take your time. Answer each question based on a typical week — not your best week, not your worst week. A normal week. After you submit, start tracking your Food Noise Score once per day this week. Use a simple 0–10 scale: 0 means food is barely on your mind, 10 means food thoughts are constant and consuming. Write a short note about what triggered any spikes. You do not need to track anything else yet. If you want to record your weight and waist measurements, do it — but only if that information supports you rather than spiraling you. Both are optional this week.
