So you used a big event to motivate yourself to lose those last stubborn pounds, and whether it was a sleeveless dress for your friend's wedding or a vacation involving beaches and a swimsuit the whole deal has now come and gone and you're ready to relax.

What?! No!

Well relaxing is fine, as long as you don't relax yourself right out of that wonderful diet and fitness lifestyle that got you into this beautiful shape in the first place. If you're not careful you'll balloon right back to where you were, miserable and unhappy with yourself, giving up everything you've worked so hard for and perhaps worst of all finding yourself back at square one.

So stick to your guns, and remember that healthiness is a lifestyle choice, not a temporary fix. If you need some ideas on how to stay on track our friends at FitSugar have some good ones to get you started.
