Rewarding Succuss

Hello and welcome Spring!
As the weather gets warmer, our layers come off. Some of us feel like we need to lose more and others feel like they will never trade their pants for shorts. Remember weight loss is a journey, it takes time to reach your long term goals (like losing over 30 pounds!). Setting short term goals along the way with built in non food related rewards is a way to keep you focused on the bigger picture...your health! Maybe this month you plan to walk a 5 K. Better yet what if you jogged some of it? Seems too hard? Remember baby steps will get you there slowly, but it will still get you there. Another non food related reward could be after losing 10 pounds you get a pedicure or new golf club (you can use all the money you saved from not eating out as much). You re worth it now go ahead and reward yourself along the way!

Cheers,

The Dieting Dietitian
