Everyone backslides. You might slip up as early as the first week of the diet, or it might not happen until the first month, the sixth month, or even six months after reaching your goal weight. But at some point, it will happen. An old bad habit will creep back into your daily nutritional repertoire. It might be the bagel you used to enjoy each morning for breakfast. It might be pizza on a Friday night. Instead of holding yourself to one vegetable-loaded slice of thin crust, for example, you go overboard with three or four slices with extra cheese. It might be that you find yourself continually dishing up larger servings than you should be eating. Whatever it is, the first slip can easily lead to more slips, which can lead to a plateau, which can lead to gaining. If you don’t put the breaks on this cycle, you can easily find yourself back where you started- regaining all of the pounds you lost, and then some.
