When it comes to staying motivated to lose weight, there is no doubt that rewards can be the thing that keep you going when you would rather not.
…I have a hard time picking out rewards.
Next Monday I’m going to be ‘back on the horse’ in a stricter way with planned menus and a notebook to keep track of not only the menu but water, weight and exercise as well. (I already have started getting it ready to go.)
In the beginning of the notebook, I have a rewards page to help me get motivated. The problem is coming up with rewards. What do I want that I will still want in ten pounds? Twenty pounds down?
It feels like whining about such a silly thing, but rewards really are a motivation for me.
Now if I could just figure out the best motivations…
I’ve never really set rewards for myself. Maybe it would be something that could keep me on the straight and narrow.
I have a really hard time coming up with things I’m really willing to work for, but when I do, it is a helpful motivation.
