Rewards

I wanted to speak about something that I feel most women do - reward themselves with food. Sometimes I forget that this is very common occurrence, one I used to do as well but have trained myself not to. I think it's important to realise that food should not be a reward. Generally, I feel it has been instilled in us from childhood when were promised a 'treat' such as ice cream for being 'good'. 

Breaking this habit can help in reaching your health and fitness goals (getting moving being the number one priority!). Food is not your reward for being good. Using treats or food that is not beneficial for you is only sabotaging your good work. 

Replace treating yourself with lollies, cakes, flavored coffees etc. with a manicure, a massage or some new workout gear to keep you motivated and feeling great!

So you can reward yourself, as long as you remember food is not a reward. 

"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish." John Quincy Adams
