I don't understand people rewarding themselves with food for achieving weight-loss goals. "Ooh, I lost a pound - let's celebrate at Jack in the Box!" NO! This is the problem with the way our country thinks. We're so focused on food, even when we're dieting.

When I reach my goal - and I don't have a goal, I'll stop losing weight when I'm 100 percent happy with the way I look and feel - I'll buy myself an amazing Botkier handbag. Or an entire day of massages and facials. Or a sexy pair of Choos to walk my skinny self around in. Now THOSE are rewards!

I so agree with you. :) Now the old me would have been food, but new me is like when I get to my goal weight of 175 I am hoping to be able to fit into a XL pair or jeans or shirt!! That is what I am talking about. To reward yourself with food to me is like a kick in the head. Thanks for letting me put in my two cents! :)

Yeah, the food as reward thing is not the best idea. My fiance and I have had a few discussions about not rewarding our kids with food as it seems to foster a really unhealthy association very young.

I agree. I love rewarding myself with a new pair of jeans! Thank goodness for the awesome nutrition in Isagenix. It helps with your cravings as your body is becoming healthier and healthier. I'm sure we can all agree that a healthy body craves healthy foods and an unhealthy body craves unhealthy foods. This is one of the reasons the Isagenix 30 day system is the best one to start off with and one that will help keep you from rewarding yourself with a cheeseburger instead (LOL).

I totally agree with you. Rewarding with food is defeating the whole purpose!
