Fantastic idea, rewarding yourself for passing up unhealthy food. There's the really mature approach of "a healthy weight is its own reward", but then there's the reality of wanting to feel good, and many of us turn to food for that. It's very productive to take that trigger (wanting to feel good) and reassociating it with other behaviour (like getting a manicure or going out for lobster with a friend). But funnily I'd never thought of it. . . . Thanks! :ThumbsUp

I feel toxic....bad weekend :no food wise...and things have been so good....no more nuts for Nursey!!!.. :sadblinky .it is a death sled to carb ****!!!!!......
Oh nursey :hug :hug :hug The weekend is over so you can start fresh. maybe it's time to throw the nuts out or give them away. You know most workplaces you can take food and it'll be gone in a day, it doesn't matter if it's toxic waste it'll be gone.

Nurselady,
:nono :nono Don't DO IT!! It is not worth it, well it is for the first few bites, but after that, you'll hate yourself. Don't give in...tell yourself it will make your tummy hurt just like the nuts.!!!

I keep telling myself that I will buy no more nuts. But they always find their way home from the grocery store somehow. I think they jump off the shelf into my cart. I have no portion control ability when it comes to nuts. They are my weakness. I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my addiction...not that that makes it right.
