As the end of the contest is in sight, it is really becoming difficult to stay on track.  I am finding my self getting sloppy and that will not help me reach my goals which still are a ways away.  I am listening to people compliment me and while it makes me feel good, it does not help my physic attitude.  I am mistaking an intermediate goal for the ultimate goal.  I have consistently lost these 6 months but I fear I may not achieve a perfect weight loss journey if I don't get back on track. I can do it and I will.
