Even the smartest, most disciplined and most goal-oriented among us have a little weakness somewhere when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. Try as we might, some days it just doesn't work to get up early to run a quick mile or two or grill some healthy fish when a juicy burger and fries is only one drive-through away. We wondered what most often tempts our contributors when it comes to falling off the health wagon, and so we asked … “What's your worst health habit?”
