Totally agree Libby, I feel like it is something very important and I feel like i've been approaching it in the last few months in the wrong way. I feel like a "treat" would just sway the temptation away, just keep me focused on the right path. Ooooo what tattoo are you getting !? Sounds awesome and definitely a good way to treat yourself
Was thinking maybe some smaller things for every half stone then for larger milestones (like my half way mark) something I really, really want !
I'd just really like to get into the habit of rewarding myself or having me time that isn't totally dependant on food ! (because I can really think of about 9/10 times where I would often reward myself with food, it's a habit of mine I really need to face.) I mean yes, of course I would still like to go for the occasional meal out and it's totally unrealistic to think I would cut out food as a reward all together but I really want that to be on very odd occasions maybe 1 or 2/10.
The Cinema is a good idea ... But I do go pretty often anyway, i'm one of those people who if they've seen that an amazing film is coming out I HAVE to see it then and there. I'm just waiting on the Great Gatsby to be released actually, that could be one reward ! There's just been so much great stuff come out all at the same time this winter :] Like you Suzie I used to gorge on all sorts at the cinema - now i'm happy with water or even a bar if i'm particularly peckish ! Although I did have to stop my boyfriend from getting Ben and Jerrys when we went to go see Django as they have a counter at our local cinema ... it was too much for me to bear at the time as it's one of my favourite things - was mean and made him have pick and mix instead (because i didn't care about that so much
), poor poor him *glare.*
I'd absolutely love to have one of those beauty treatments like a massage ... but to me £40 for an hour sounds really expensive ! Then again I can't quantify as i've never had one before ... maybe I should give it a try, I think my Gym has a mini spa attached to it. Do you find they're worth the money ? Orrrrr maybe a trip to boots for some bath oils and such XD
Hehehe I pretty much change my hair colour every week anyway Minerva
Might have to get some new extensions ... Funnily enough I actually did some modelling for Attitude back in the day XD those were the days :']
I like the idea of seeing someone i've not seen for a long time - that would be amazing, some quality time. Why the hell didn't I think of that ? It should be obvious but it isn't at all. It's almost amazing how I would have valued food over time with someone without even realising :/
Thanks for your input so far everyone, you're definitely giving me some food for thought (pardon the pun.)
