You can, however, create new, better and even stronger habits.  And while you may think that the old habits are forever gone, they are simply hiding out.   At some point in time, one or more will get triggered.<br \/>\nTherefore, it is important that on that day that you mysteriously find yourself covered in cookie dough, after months and months of fat-burning perfection, that you simply remember this:  An old habit got triggered.  Plain and simple.  No big deal.<br \/>\nIn the old days, a tsunami of defeat may have rolled in and crushed you.  But now you know better, don&#8217;t you?  You are not weak, you are not bad, nor are you a failure. You are simply human and a habit came out of hiding.  You can now continue moving forward on your journey to &#8220;Sveltesville.&#8221;<br \/>\nAs <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\">Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> says, &#8220;All is forgiven, move on!&#8221;<br \/>\nFor more eye-opening information that will change your weight loss point of view, pick up a copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-Forgiven-Move-Fat-Burning-Sveltesville\/dp\/014200524X\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197052667&amp;sr=1-1\">All Is Forgiven, Move On: Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s 101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Your Favorite August Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/08\/whoopi-goldberg-weighs-in-at-1.html\">Whoopi Goldberg weighs 174 pounds.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/08\/kelly-clarkson-self-magazine.html\">Kelly Clarkson SELF Magazine (did they go too far?)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/08\/are-fat-people-doormats.html\">Are fat people doormats?<\/a><br \/>\nSpread the word &#8230; <em>not<\/em> the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nFollow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Our-Lady-Weight-Loss-Motivational\/dp\/B000QRIHY8\/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal<\/strong><\/a> an <strong>OPRAH BOOK CLUB<\/strong> pick: Summer 2009 &#8211; Buy NOW!<br \/>\nJoin the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kick_in_the_tush_club\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kick in the Tush Club<\/strong><\/a>: <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beliefnet\" title=\"Beliefnet\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Beliefnet<\/a> Chapter.<br \/>\nWrite Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Coach, Certified Hypnotist, Author and 50-pound big-time-loser for an introductory <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">one-on-one coaching<\/a> session.<br \/>\nVisit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ART heart.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/100\/import\/ART%20heart.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-left\" height=\"34\" width=\"34\"><\/span> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"> about Janice<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your old habits kick in, what will you do?
