Positive Reinforcement

I'm feeling pretty good about the whole WW thing today. I did well yesterday eating within my points, and am track to do well today. I got a pair of pants on Saturday and I'm probably insane but they feel like they fit better already. Whatever, I'll take it. I can use anything self-affirming right now, even if it the product of a delusional mind. Anything I can be positive about and feel successful at is a good thing right now.

For every 5 pounds you lose, WW gives you a little award. I've decided to back that up with something more. Here is my reward plan for myself:

5 pounds - pedicure or silly pin for a blazer
10 pounds - new shoes
15 pounds - L'Occitane shopping spree
20 pounds - new underwear
25 pounds - new outfit

10% of me gone - more shoes
Goal weight - spa afternoon
Lifetime - another new outfit

Hopefully if I limit my shopping to these events, I will save some money too. I must not replace food with shoes or bath products. There are worse things, but still, both have their destructive sides.

Yes! I like your reward system.

I am working on filling 12 weeks of journalling and getting back to goal. When I have done that I plan to buy 100% all new gym gear, from inside out and top to bottom including the good quality water bottle and gym bag.

It's criminal how I wear such rags to do something I love so much.

In fact, I'll keep you posted weekly - I go tonight and feel pretty good about this past week.
