YOUR FAVORITE GEOMETRIC SHAPE REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY _ A study suggests that your favorite geometric shape reveals the real you.
• Square. You’re an organized, logical and hardworking person who likes structure and rules. Sometimes you have trouble making decisions because you always want more information.
• Rectangle. You’re a courageous, exciting and inquisitive explorer who always searches for ways to grow and change. You enjoy trying things you’ve never done before and love asking questions that have never been asked.
• Triangle. You’re a born leader who’s competitive, confident and decisive. You also like recognition and are interested in politics. American business has traditionally been run by triangles, and they’re usually men.
• Circle. You’re a “people person” with lots of sympathy and consideration for others. You listen and communicate very well and are very perceptive about feelings. You like harmony and hate making unpopular decisions.
• Squiggle. You’re a creative person who’s always thinking of new ways to do things. But you don’t think in a deliberate pattern from A to B to C. Instead, you tend to jump around in your mind, going from A to M to X.
THE ONE THING MOST LIKELY TO DERAIL YOUR DIET _ If you’re trying to lose weight, the one thing that is most likely to derail your best diet plan is… your family and close friends. Don’t believe it? Test it. Go on a diet. Lose a few pounds. Brag a little. And then see what happens. Chances are, you’ll find you’re the recipient of fattening food gifts. Your spouse may buy you a candy bar at the movies or your co-worker will offer you cookies when the afternoon munchies hit. They aren’t doing this to be mean or vindictive. They probably aren’t even conscious of it. But what they are doing is sabotaging your weight loss success. Colleen Pierre, a registered dietician and associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, says that the problem can be defined in one word: change. A diet creates big changes in anyone’s life. These are changes welcomed by the dieter, but friends and family aren’t in the same mode of change. Be aware that diet sabotage is not done purposefully and maliciously. It’s unconscious.
