Not only talking about food here, about any aspect in your life.
What drives you? What motivates you and keeps you going? What foods do you go weak at the knees for? Perhaps, someone? :flowerforyou:
What stops you in your tracks? What derails you?

For me.. My weaknesses.. Chocolate and beef, and burning off calories to have more of either/both.
My strength.. It's all around me, keeps me going every day.

Soo....

What are you weaknesses?
What are your strengths?

    When it comes to men it would be (weakness) their smile and sense of humor along with confidence. When it comes to food, it would be potato chips and dip. If it came to personality it would be shy and insecure.

    Strengths---I can pick out a ladies man easily and avoid the headaches, when it comes to food, I love broccoli, when it comes to personality I feel compassion for many.

    Strengths - I don't get derailed because I'm a big picture kinda guy. I know that I'm not ging to be on 100% of the time...I know I'm going to miss workouts here and there...'cuz **** happens. I know I'm not going to always rock my nutrition, but I will most of the time...and that's what's important...what happens most of the time is what is important but people tend to put so much emphasis on occasional overindulgences and oh noes, I missed my workout today...in the grand scheme of things, these are irrelevant. My career requires me to see really big picture, so I think that helps me in this regard...I don't get wrapped up and bothered by the minutia.

    Weakness - I have difficulty relating to people who get lost in the minutia and details so I often get frustrated with them, including my employees. I just can't be bothered with it all.

    Strengths- academically I am considered higher than normal IQ. My humor (that is when it doesn't get me into trouble) my bluntness (again, when it doesn't get me into trouble) and my beliefs, I am a rock that won't be moved by popular opinion.

    Weaknesses- low self esteem by body image and just over all outward appearance (which makes me feel shallow at times) and Mexican food.

    Weaknesses: Continually psychoanalysing a certain someone in my life; Accents, oh my how they make my heart do flip flops; Thinking the grass is always greener, but I need to keep reminding myself that if I keep tending to, and nurturing my own grass, it will be just as green; Social relationships, I'm very much an introvert and don't wish for this to change; Instability regarding my body image; Psychiatry/Psychology, I could engage in related conversations for hours; Eccentric people, I find I get along a lot better with eccentric personalities.

Helping others, I'm forever putting others first, especially my class mates; Self awareness and calling situations for how they really are (thank you transactional analysis!).
