A basic intention of health-seeking programs is that you learn to do a better job of self-regulating. Self-regulation implies control. However, where does the control come from?  Related questions are:

Who decides what to do?
Do you need permission to make important changes?
Can you make your own decisions?

The Alpha Nutrition Program advocates self-directed, self-management as a desirable goal. The program teaches self-management skills. You should answer the opening questions when you contemplate starting the program; ask yourself - can I simply decide and do it? Who is in control?

Some people live well-organized lives with traditional lifestyle eating habits and operate from an internal locus of control that gives them an enviable ability to self-manage. If you have a well-developed center, you have an easier time developing new patterns, once you accept that it is necessary and desirable to change. You can plan an orderly transition from old to new. People with a strong internal locus of control are more skilled at collecting and evaluating information. They accept professional advice as information, not as parental authority. They tend to feel more confident making their own decisions.
