This month, I've decided to set tougher goals and hang bigger rewards at the end of the stick. I've tried rewards that were a part of the habit I was trying to break (If I don't order pizza all week, I can indulge on Saturday), but pizza later isn't a very effective incentive to not have some now. This month I've picked out a present for myself, something indulgent but not unhealthy, that I desire more than tonight's junk food. So far, so good. Thanks for continuing to share and encourage all of us to stay the course.
