(Non-food) Rewards

Ok so I totally blew last night...why am I letting myself  fail here?!?  I did fine when I finally went into the kitchen.  I made chicken rice like I planned, which was 15 points.  Done for the day.  Then my fiance is texting me, "I'm hungry."  I was like yeah, me too...but was I really, or was I just bored and lonely??  So anyway, he asks if I want him to pick something up, and I said it was his choice.  He asked me what I wanted...I said cheese bread...way to go Danielle, terrible choice.  Before he even gets home, I had one two mini twix ice cream bars...I don't even know how many points they are.  Then he brings home 3-cheeser bread from Hungry Howies around 9:30pm and I eat an entire half of it.  Yuck!  I don't even want to know how many points that was, especially because I dipped it in garlic sauce.

So, everyone's blogs who are having success have some type of reward system for themselves, and I think that is a good idea.  The only problem is, when I think of rewarding myself, I think of food, and I need to break that now.  I need to find myself some non-food rewards.  Any ideas that you guys have would be greatly appreciated!

  1. Thats how I was too so I really thought about it. I love pedicures and massages, so that was definitely on my list! Also as you get closer, new clothes. My ultimate goal is this tattoo I have wanted for a long time but I told myself I can't unless I'm at the weight I want. Otherwise think about hobbies or someway you could reward yourself like spending so much on something you really want. Or making yourself wait until you accomplish a weight loss goal to get it.

    Also, make it some what easy, yet hard. Make them close enough so you can feel you can accomplish it. Otherwise have mini-small rewards half way or something?? Good luck!! You will figure out something!
