I'm trying to learn how to reward myself in ways other than food. My family, mom in particular, ALWAYS rewarded me with junk food as a child and I think that's caused my view of food to be a bit warped. I'm trying to fix that! :)

I've been doing the same thing! :) Food was already a reward in my family or a comfort (if I was studying hard, my mom gave me chocolate bars). I'm slowly changing that view.

It helps that I love electronics/video games, so I can reward myself that way. Also with clothes shopping becoming a bit more interesting, I've been rewarding myself with new clothes.

I don't really have to study much any more, but as a teacher I do get stressed/bring work home with me. So instead of eating something to calm me down, I write or play some video games.

Last month my big reward for hitting goal was an iPhone 4s ;) I REALLY liked that reward. This month I'm on a quest to get skinny jeans in ever color of the rainbow :lol: I have red, green, blue and purple so far...just two more!
