When you were a kid, and you did something well, every now and then you got a reward. Motivating, right? Weight loss is no different. Unfortunately, many of us are still in the habit of using food as a reward. Try something new and exciting and make your weight-loss journey more pleasant - and your goal more attainable. Set mini-goals, and then reward yourself when you meet them. Here are some great ways to say good job!!!

 

Sip on a cup of tea and relax in big comfy chair

Finish the day with a long, candlelit soak in the tub.

Enjoy a leisurely Sunday morning - take the phone off the hook and spend the morning in your pajamas reading a book or devouring a few magazines

Splurge on a bouquet of flowers just for you.

Take the time to give yourself a full manicure, complete with a new shade of nail polish.

Buy a relaxation tape and use it daily.

Start an " I am special" account and save up for a new pair of jeans

For every 10 pounds reward yourself with a massage
