Psalm 25:4-5----Show me your ways,
O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach
me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long |
KNOW
THYSELF |

What kind of dieter are you? Knowing
your diet personality can help you loss weight. A weight loss
plan only works if you stay with it. And as any successful dieter
can tell you, it's much easier to lose weight and firm up when
the diet plan you choose fits your lifestyle and personality.
A diet is simply what you eat, which means you are already on
one. The first step to weight loss is to find your diet personality.
Here are five (5) weight loss types, see which one fits you. |
|
TYPE
1--- THE SUPPORT SEEKER |
|
You are the one that turn to friends
and pros for answers. (If it worked for Oprah, it can work for
you.) In school you had study buddies, you have shopping partners
and you need the support of wiser friends and without those late
night calls to friends you could not have made it. |
|
YOUR IDEAL
DIET PLAN |
|
Your perfect weight loss plan involves
plenty of support from women who've been there---sharing your
battles with discussions and prayers. Check out weight loss programs
that meet weekly for fun, such as Weight Watchers. Join an aerobics
class with a core group of members. Choose your own diet support
group, choosing dependable friends who also need to lose weight
and won't let you get away with making excuses. A group of three
or four friends can keep you firmly on the fitness wagon even
when one member can't show up. Designate a leader, set a plan
of attack and be sure to let your supporters know exactly what
you need most form them, whether it's gentle encouragement or
the toughest of love |
YOUR IDEAL
DIET PLAN |
|
Serial snackers seem to eat out
of habit, not hunger. They choose whatever is most accessible.
Put healthy foods like fruit, vegetables and whole grains in prominent
position, and hide cinnamon rolls and brownies in the deepest
dungeons of your cabinets. Try chewing gum or long-lasting mints
as a distractions form eating snacks. Keep extra bottles of water
handy to replace sodas and never bring an entire package of food
to the couch with you. |
TYPE 3-THE
FREE SPIRIT |
|
You refuse to eat anything "lite"
just because someone tells you it's lower in calories. You have
better thing to do than count calories, carbs or grams of fat,
and you're too rebellious to follow a step-by-step chart outlining
what to eat at each meal. Weight loss for you will have to be
simple and natural, with few rules-and always open to change. |
YOUR IDEAL
DIET PLAN |
|
The free spirit doesn't want to
work hard on a weight loss plan and isn't interested in a complete
overhaul of eating habits. Simple changes such as eating slowly
and rate your hunger before and during each meal so you won't
allow yourself to become too hungry or too full. Add a piece of
fruit to each meal and drink plenty of water. |
YOUR IDEAL
DIET PLAN |
|
Identify the sweet you love the
most and plan how much of each one you're going to enjoy and when.
Brownies taste better when you buy them one at a time and savor
them bite by bite. Peaches, strawberries, and bananas can appease
your sweet tooth while providing fiber and key nutrients. Try
dipping fruit in low-fat pudding or yogurt. |
TYPE 5-THE
DISTRACTED DINER |
|
Multitasking may be a timesaver
but it is not good for your health nor your waistline. If you
tend to do two or three things at once-and one of them is often
snacking-you're a distracted diner with little clue abut how much
you're really eating. Whether it's the dashboard or the desktop
that keeps you from paying full attention while you eat. |
YOUR IDEAL
DIET PLAN |
|
Prepare your snacks and meals mindfully.
Think mini-meals, such as half a sandwich and a handful of baby
carrots, and avoid snack foods like chips and cookies. Choose
foods that are easy to eat and difficult to spill on the run,
like pre-sliced apples and grapes with the stems already removed.
Never eat fast foods while driving; you may realize just how much
you dislike the taste. |
