I walk my Belgian Malinois, Hazel, in downtown Boise a lot, including at night.

Boise's very safe compared to most cities, but there's a possibility of trouble just about anywhere.

Case in point: I was walking Hazel during Halloween evening when a homeless man with a pitbull crossed our path.

I always take Hazel across the street when we encounter another dog, which is what I did this time, too.

But something about us triggered the pitbull, and it went into full-on attack mode.

I reacted quickly, putting myself between Hazel and the pitbull and bracing for impact, just like I was taught to do.

In a way, that pitbull reminds me of all the obstacles that try to come for you during your weight loss journey.

Make no mistake: The deck is stacked against you.

You've got the holidays.

You've got birthdays and anniversaries.

You've got late-night food gremlins.

You've got food companies happy to profit from your obesity and disease be selling you chemical crapstorm garbage.

Weight loss mode or maintenance mode, there's always something.

And if you don't learn how to brace for impact, any one of these "threats" could take you down.

Tune into this episode to learn how you can "brace for impact" and defend yourself and your weight loss against the threats that cross your path.

(I'll also share what happened to me and Hazel after the pitbull went into attack mode.)
