Personal Identity Is Key to Meal Plan Decision
01/31/2009
Personality plays a large part in some of the daily decisions we make, and selecting a weight loss plan or weight loss regimen is no different. It is crucial to understand your own personality before resolving to embark upon a new diet or weight loss program to secure the best chance for success.
Read the following personality types and find which of the three describes you best so your diet plan choice is right for you!
The Self-Reliant Loner - Are you the DIY (do-it-yourself) type? Do you tend to take on jobs yourself that others might hire out for? Do you feel that if a task is to be done right, you should do it yourself? Do you believe in carrying your own weight (no pun intended)?
If so, then your strongest chance at success with a diet or weight loss plan is to do it yourself with a DIY diet plan. Purchase a book that outlines a healthy diet with tons of recipes included, and you’re good to go. You have the self-control to do things on your own, and you’d rather not have someone else trying to tell you what to do.
The Community Belle of the Ball or Partier - Are you the kind that thrives on group interaction? Would you rather be chatting at a party than sitting home alone? Is it important to you that you share your day with other people and seek feedback and conversation wherever you go?
If so, your best avenue is to pick one of the popular online diet plans. You’ll be able to get in touch with large groups of people who all have similar end goals as you, and you can get feedback and support 24/7.
The Novice - Are you the type that finds it tough to make decisions by yourself? Would you believe yourself to be a follower who would prefer to just follow instructions and let someone else direct your every move? Is it just easier to do what you’re told than to always have to think about what, when and how much to eat?
If that sounds familiar, then you may want to join one of the diet support groups that expect you to show up periodically for weigh-ins and personal support. This in-person human contact will guide you better than virtual Internet communities or managing it yourself.
Now that you recognize which personality type you are most like, you bear a much better probability of actually picking out the best weight loss plan for you - and your chance for success is much greater!
Ready, Set, Go!
