One of the things we've certainly got to guard against in this weight loss and fitness journey is not becoming too complacent or smug peeps.  After a while you begin to think you've conquered every food and procrastination Devil in your life after you've racked up some victories and achieved some, or the ultimate, Goals.  I did it, I see other Nutripeeps doing it too... we think that those Devils have disappeared, when in fact they're only dormant until they catch us in a weak or vulnerable moment! *Gasp*  Then WHAM, next thing you know you've skipped some days of exercise or eaten that "extra" whatever.  It starts slowly and almost inconspicuously, because its a covert attack my Friends... the Devils that are most obvious are least effective and our Devils have studied us and studied us well peeps.  You know your weaknesses too, so you have an advantage... of knowing yourself well enough to realize when you're slipping... becoming smug in your journey... or complacent... or so comfortable that you let your guard down.  Just for a moment, but that's all it takes... and if left unchecked those small slips can become a landslide of bad habits and choices gaining a foothold and then a stronghold in your life again.  So, when you find yourself slipping, get a grip early, and don't beat yourself up for making a mistake, or even a few mistakes, just don't become habitual at it like the food junkies that we know we can be *smiles* and go wheels off, throwing all caution to the wind or worse yet, giving up the fight.  Hugs, Dawn
