Raise your hand

if you have a bad habit or two. We all do. These habits or personality traits can effect your eating habits. Did you know this? Probably! but in my pursuit for weight loss and happiness, I have found some hints that have helped me. Taken from article by Rebecca Pratt

Extrovert or introvert- in our pursuit, we might want to try to keep a b balance.
The extrovert has a tendency to let social situations dictate your choices. Try to organize your social activities enabling you to have time for sit down meals and scheduled workouts.
try for fitness activities that involve classes, team sports and busy places.
The introvert have tendencies to be more task oriented. They tend to want to be alone, and not getting the motivation from their friends. They can balance this by learning about fitness, going to gyms with a friend. Measure your current goals with past accomplishments but make sure they are including some kind of socialise.

Planner of impulsive?
Planner: make effort to branch out once in-a-while. Every detail of life does not have to be planned to the minute. Be carried along with the moment, rather with eating or your exercise. Try not to overbook.
Improviser: try to pick avenues that give you a chance to change on quick notice. Pair up with others to open yourself to new ideas. Still, commit to a regular weekly exercise routine and watch what you are eating.

Intuitive or analytical? Both of these approaches can be successful but it is better to try and find a middle ground.
Intuitive generally resist record keeping. Keep it simple in goals and calories.
Analytical: Don't be obsession about record keeping. Be realistic in your goals. Keep activities in small portions. Avoid getting bogged down in the small stuff. Learn what you can about nutrition and exercise.

Design a fitness style to help with your personality traits. Know yourself, it really will help in this ongoing process.
