Delores has made a goal to lose 5 pounds by the end of the semester. She has decided to cut out desserts from her diet and increase her workout time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes 4 times per week. This seems reasonable and Delores feels certain she can adhere to this plan. Delores went out for dinner with friends last night and ended up having a huge piece of chocolate cake. Using the concepts you learned from class, help Delores understand what likely happened.
It's most likely that she didn't stick to her plan because it wasn't SMART enough.
It's most likely that she didn't stick to her plan because she probably didn't have lunch, had a few drinks, so her inhibitions were down and her hunger was high, so she decided to have the cake.
It's most likely that she didn't stick to her plan because her eating was listed in the escape quadrant instead of the zone quadrant of her time management matrix.
It's most likely that she didn't stick to her plan because when faced with competing objectives of chocolate cake (instant gratification) and losing weight (delayed gratification), the elephant part of her brain won out over the plan made by the rider part of her brain.
