"You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?" (Galatians 5:7)
We've come to the end of our Personality test results. We are complicated personalities so you've probably seen yourself in several already.
Here is the conclusion from January 3rd's post:
If you are #10: very thrifty or #11: very regimented/organized – congratulations you win a prize!
Your personality is disciplined, sensible, and strictly follows instructions when you understand the reason why. If you are given reasonable tasks, your self-esteem will propel you onward. However, if you don't understand the reasoning behind the action, you'll become frustrated and search for another teacher.
This personality responds best to practical examples. You ask questions that keep teachers on their toes. You need to know how instructions apply to your life.
Paying for an expensive meal package plan wouldn't last long because you don't waste money. You think I can make this better for less!
The downside to this personality is that you have no patience with people who don't succeed, even yourself. You believe you have no willpower which is a fallacy. If you lose control, it could be a chemical imbalance or insulin resistance. Don't trust a hopeful-sounding false diet guru. Trust your logical instincts.
Follow a colorful diet plan like the Mediterranean, DASH, or Volumetrics plan. Research and read sensible dietitians or nutritionists. Start with small goals. Soon you'll feel empowered to succeed.
If # 12: food is extremely important in your life or #16: you prefer chicken over steak:
Most likely inquisitive, you'd rather create meals at home. You believe chicken has even more recipe creativity than beef. You must understand what food labels mean and search out flavorful recipes that are healthy.
Anything is fine in moderation but if you lose control, you regret it the next day. Additional exercise is your payback. There are so many recipes on the internet
Restaurants are your downfall. If you frequent restaurants, don't arrive hungry and lose control. Compromise. Have a peppermint about a half hour before you arrive, it reduces your hunger. Mentally decide before you go, that you'll eat half and bring the rest home.
Don't ever tell yourself, "Well, it's my life, I can eat what I want!" And then what? If you develop an illness, it affects those around you. Do you love food more than your children? They'd suffer if you became ill. Think of the consequences before you act irrationally.
Are you #17: preferring potatoes at every meal or #18: salty snacks, potato chips, or pretzels?
Well, first, you probably are a man. No offense, men usually prefer crunchy and women, sweets – but not always. Do you select French fries or potato options as a side instead of rice, quinoa, or couscous?
At parties, this personality isn't tempted by sweets but by salty selections: cheese dips, salsa, chips, egg rolls, etc.
If you sometimes crave crunchy items, it could indicate that you are angry, stressed, or frustrated and psychologically need something to take it out on!
Ensure that you drink plenty of water to regulate your blood pressure. Salt reduces blood vessels. Weakened blood vessels and stress is an open invitation to a heart attack or stroke. Release that frustration through fresh air, exercise, calming music, or an aerobic workout. Don't allow emotions to conquer your self-discipline.
I hope you've found that this series answered questions about why you eat as you do. Now run the race and press onward toward your healthy goal!
"I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding." (Psalm 119:32)
