Are we ever really DONE losing weight?

I'm almost 14 months post-op and have 40 lbs left to lose. I haven't lost any weight since July but I know full well it's because I haven't exercised regularly and I have caved into the Carb Monster way, way too many times. While a few boiled shrimp fill me up nicely I discovered that tortilla chips, ice cream, chocolate - well, the list goes on and on - slip right through my little pouch and make me want MORE, PLEASE! I take full responsibility for being a dip. I'm greatful to this miraculous tool for helping me to maintain this 98 lb weight loss and I know I can lose the rest and improve my health a lot more through exercise. So my question to you nice people is do you think that we're ever really done (as in "window of opportunity")? Have any of you lost weight this far out? I'm sure I can still do this but I would be most greatful for your input - and any words of encouragement would be appreciated - I'm pretty mad at myself but don't want to keep up this vicious cycle of self-doubt and aggravation since that won't get me anywhere but back in the cookie jar. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this! Your hopeful and positive pal, Libby
