CASE STUDY: Jeric has been gaining weight over the last five years in his group home and his doctor has said that he needs to exercise more or he will become obese. Jeric is 62, a large man weighing around 200 pounds, who really doesn’t want to be told that he needs to exercise for his health.   When Jeric first came to the group home he was much more active than currently. Jeric would go for walks in Sunrise Park by himself when the weather was good and he seemed to enjoy that. Jeric also bowled every week with the other men in the group home and was very good at it. A year later Jeric climbed Mt. Clemons with one of the staffs. Unfortunately, the staff person left his job at the group home about three months later and no one else was interested in taking him hiking. Jeric worked out at the YMCA for a period of time but he didn’t find other people to workout with him and he quit. Jeric started eating more food within the next year as he started to gain weight.
