Great idea, Monkey!
Tons of things! I found comfort foods I could have in Phase 1 (PB cup and refried beans with cheese and SF salsa). I set small, manageable goals, stated them outloud and put them in my sig, and gave myself non-food rewards for them. (spa treatments were a HUGE incentive, NPI!) I exercised and found inspiration in my new strength and burgeoning muscles...and I did yoga and found lots of joy in learning to view my body as a way to move and be rather than an encumbrance.
I threw out clothes that were too big (actually, I either gave them to consignment stores where I got a little money back or donated them to salvation army or friends) and resolved to not buy anything I couldn't fit into.
In P2, I told myself than short of things that call for carmelized sugar, I could make anything SBD (and I can!!!) and did, when I felt the need to make the effort. One weekend I totally craved this chocolate cake with peanut butter icing that they had at the house where I was visiting. As soon as I got home, I researched recipes, modified two and had this amazing
cake that was to die for! Yum!!! Totally SBD safe.
Looking forward to tips from others!
