Nope. Not naive. Smart and wise. Because that's the trick, in a sentence. It's not willpower, it's having made a decision and sticking to it.

But it's also having a plan for when that bagel looks at you.

JustJo, one of my favorite people around here, has a whole list of ways to avoid going off plan. The one I like the best, when things get really touchy is this: she tells herself, Fine. I can have that tomorrow.

Of course, by the time tomorrow comes, the crisis has been averted.
