1. You’ve just started your new eating plan but
have a long-planned dinner out with friends at the end of the week. Do you:
A: Cancel – there’s no way you’re going to do anything to jeopardise
your willpower.
B: Look forward to the night out, but ask your chums if you can choose the restaurant, somewhere where you can make healthy choices C: Woo hoo! A night out with a bottle of wine and some yummy treats? Yes please! Besides, you deserve it – you’ve been dieting like a demon all week. |
2. You’ve got a business meeting at 5pm where the
boss is laying on a buffet as a thank-you for working late. Do you:
A: Sit though the presentation trying to mask the sound of your gurgling
stomach while stoically avoiding the mini sausage rolls and insisting you’re
full up already.
B: Go to work prepared with your own snacks of oatcakes and fruit to have around 4pm so you’ll be able to hold out until you get your own healthy dinner at home. C: Get stuck into the sandwiches. You’ve not eaten a thing since lunchtime and it would be rude not to thank the boss for his kind gesture. |
3. Your other half gives in to those mid-evening
cravings and hauls out his stash of crisps and chocolate from the kitchen. Do
you:
A: Tell him you’ll seek a divorce if he doesn’t immediately flush the
lot down the toilet.
B: Have one piece of chocolate to satisfy your own craving then move onto something from your own healthy snack stash. C: Give in to temptation and snuggle up beside him to share the booty. One little treat won’t hurt. Besides, you’ve eaten hardly anything all day so it’ll all even out. |

Mostly As
Hmmm. Have you ever been compared to Monica from Friends? It’s all or
nothing with you, isn’t it? While your willpower is to be admired, you’ve got
to be careful that being a diet zealot doesn’t spell disaster for you. If you
don’t allow yourself the occasional treat you’re in danger of burning out and
blowing your healthy eating plans spectacularly.
Mostly Bs
You’ve probably got the approach just about right. You enjoy the
occasional treat but know you can’t let it get out of hand or all your hard
work will have been for nothing. You like the rough guidelines of a diet, but
like to adapt your plan to suit your own lifestyle, which is perfectly
healthy and realistic.
Mostly Cs
Laid back? Your approach to life is virtually horizontal, and it’s
going to do you no favours in your weight loss goal. You’ve got to be honest
with yourself. How many treats are too many? Robbing Peter to pay Paul by
starving yourself of nutritious meals so you can go mad with chocolate or
wine is an absolute non-starter.
