These categories are not meant to offend or demean anyone. These are all problems that everyone can face, the idea of the poll is for people to see that you are not alone! Accepting your flaws and recognising them is a key step in the process of improving yourself to become the person you want to be.
The Number Slave
- You count calories of every single thing that enters your mouth
- You weigh yourself once, possible more, each day.
The cons: Because of the obsessive behaviour with numbers and facts you tend to find yourself freaking the eff out if your scale doesn’t want to play nice with you.
The Dieter
- You need someone to tell you exactly what you should eat every day. You tend to jump from one diet plan to the next in the hope that you will lose weight fast.
The cons: Diets will help you lose weight fast, but your fitness can suffer from restrictive eating causing a major stall or a complete crash. Dieter’s tend to yo-yo a lot.
The Tank
- You are an exercise MACHINE. You will exercise almost every single day and generally become a slave to the burn.
The cons: Generally tanks shape up and lose weight fast, but an uninformed Tanker in the art of nutrition can crash and burn and not see results on the scale.
The Treater
- You generally are awesome at losing weight…for a short period of time. After a string of successes you tend to relax on your exercise routine and throw all meal plans out the window. You literally treat yourself to good job well done.
The cons: While you may be a pro at losing weight, your attention span is short and your treats can set you back.
The Pit Stop Dweller:
- You will lose weight, then something will happen that throws you off course. While taking a break in the pit stop you find yourself stuck – unable to get back into the race. Dwellers tend to stall for long periods of time (not to be confused with The Regainer)
The cons: While you might not be losing weight and maintaining, pit stop dwellers can suffer emotionally and feel stuck. They tend to take a long time getting back into a routine, they need an extra push from helpers to get them out of the pit and back into the game.
The Drastic Regainer:
- Will lose weight successfully and enjoy a happy life at their goal weight then will regain it all back within a short period of madness.
The cons: Similar to the Pit Stop Dweller, Drastic Regainers suffer emotionally as they are unable to comprehend why they gained all their weight back.
