In my life and in what I've seen of others, pride is by all means the hardest of all to escape, and the last to go. True humility is beyond most of us mere mortals, but we may aspire towards that state of grace.
Fortunately, the seven deadly sins aren't really "deadly," but, rather are meant as guides.
The main problem with Christianity as widely practiced is that one is asked to live a life of "right" action as if it were an automatically given capacity.
It's really the other way around. Only through a life of learning, practice, meditation and devotion can one reach a level of living in a state of "right action."

All of them! at times anyway. I am prideful when i have done something to be proud of (i.e. recently written an book and seriously bragging about it), greedy when i want something (i brought 6 new tops the other week just because i wanted them) lustful whenever i see a cute guy (aren't we all!), envious quite a lot actually, gluttonous (mainly when bored at work), wrathful (is that a word) when someone seriously crosses me, and very lazy when i want to be!
Doesn't look good for me does it?

Sloth definately! I am really lazy, if I don't have a neat little list for what I have to do in a day I'd probably just get up and do nothing!

Gluttony, for sure - I have been struggling with it for a long, long time and God has begun to deal with me in this realm. It has a lot to do with food issues and is a hard thing to overcome. There is a lot of information coming my way from the Bible and other sources, like "Divine Health" by Dr. Colbert. I will keep working and praying and listening to God about this matter. Thanks for asking and God Bless You!

Sloth - I would much prefer to spend my time playing with my son, on my p.c or watching tv than keeping house.
I love sleeping & lying in bed, all snug & cosy I'd stay there all day watching tv, reading and Oh God that's my idea of heaven

ALL OF THEM! :D
Of course I'm the best and I know it well.
I want everything for myself.
I love sex and the like.
I hate people who think they're better than me and girls who hang out with my boyfriend.
I looove food and I've been known to eat way to much and regret it 10 minutes later.
I'm mean and people know it. I'm not afraid to show it.
I love sleep. Morning is the worst time of the day.

Envy.
I cannot stand Victoria Beckham. She might be a nice girl in private but I am so envious of her life and the easy stress free, want for nothing existence she has.
