My guilty pleasure...

[kasar]

For the past couple of days I've felt my determination waning and was starting to get the old "Oh, a bite of this ice cream won't hurt" feelings. I needed to refocus and give myself a little "treat" (my usual form of encouragement comes from a Boston Creme donut!). So, I treated myself to a facial, one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I decided that this is my new strategy. For every 20 pounds I lose I'll get a facial or some other treatment. Yes, it's pricey and totally indulgent but it's a goal worth striving for. Hey, maybe if I get to my goal, I'll even get the full massage (I'd never consider doing that now, but someday maybe!).

Hey, not only will I be thin but I'll have glowing skin, too! What's your guilty pleasure?

I like to get a new top every once in a while. I look for ones that will be easy to take up later. It's been so much fun shopping in the misses dept again.

Enjoy those pampering treatments!

Pampering yourself is a great idea. I reward myself along the way as well. In fact I'm getting my hair highlighted this week as a little reward. When I reached my first 10% goal I bought a new walkman type thing for my walks. It's important to reward yourself I think as it keeps you going. Your reward for every 20 lbs sounds like a wonderful idea - and you DESERVE it! Keep up the good work.

hmmm...non-food rewards. Now that's something to think about!

Gosh, I need to think about this. . .I've never had a facial before. Maybe that would be nice reward.

I think you should treat yourself at every 10 lbs., though--why wait?

Hah! I'd be thin, have glowing skin and be childfree because I've sold my children into slavery to afford all those facials! Honestly, I'm such a sucker for the "sell-ups" that I must limit how often I go there, what should be a $70.00 facial keeps turning into $100! Yikes! But this month the special was the pumpkin harvest facial - it smelled SOOO good, like pumpkin pie on your face - how could I say no???

What a great idea! Non food rewards!! Good for you, I bet that facial was worth every penny too!!
