After doing a good job with exercising and eating right all week, how do you reward yourself?


I have been rewarding myself with food ( usually junk ) but thats probably a bad habit to get into.


So I'm looking for a new reward system.


What do you do?

Hey Heather,
You do need to find something else ..
I sometimes treat myself to a manicure or pedicure.
Even a book ..
Maybe set your sights on an outfit at a store.
Then save for it as well as do your best so you can get it.
Another thing is maybe special soaps if you like that kind of thing.
Great question .. let's see what others suggest as well :)

I get rid of my larger tops and reward myself with the smaller ones.


If I have a favorite author, I reward myself with the book.

Oh, yes, rewarding yourself with junk is definitely not a good idea - kinda defeats all the good you do, you know?


I treat myself to shoes, a book, a new article of clothing in a smaller size, etc.

Not a good idea to reward with food Heather.

I'm with Liz on body mods- I just rewarded myself with a new tattoo(to show off the sexy shoulders lol). I also got a haircut and highlights. Buying new clothes is also a good way to see the changes.
