Reward Yourself!!!

It is important to remember to reward yourself for weight loss progress BUT make sure those rewards are not food related. If you are trying to lose weight, give yourself small rewards along the way for losing weight OR inches. Losing weight is not always about the scale. Check how your clothes fit too... are they looser, are you in a smaller size but weigh the same (muscle weighs more than fat so you have lost fat & gained muscle!). Some ideas for for rewards:

• manicure
• pedicure
• facial
• new workout clothes item
• new workout home gym item
• new casual or business clothes item
• free time - have the hubby(if you are married) take care of the kids

There are so many more suggestions I could write about but find something that you would like that is not a food related item. Reward yourself with things that make you feel good BUT don't take away from all that hard work that helped you lose the weight & inches in the first place.
