π Non-food rewards for losing weight on The 1:1 Diet π
Giving yourself non food rewards as you try to lose weight can help you stay motivated
You could reward yourself each time you achieve a mini goal, which can be anything you want. For example, it could be losing 1kg (2.2lbs) or achieving 150 minutes of activity in a week.
You could keep a weight loss coin jar.
Add Β£1 to the jar for every pound lost or create your own reward system β the growing collection of money will be a visual reminder of what you've accomplished and will motivate you to add to it.
Before starting the plan, why not draw up a list of mini goals and plan a treat for each time you achieve one.
Below are some ideas of rewards, ranging from the affordable to the special, that other people have used:
π¬Entertainment
* bubble bath
* listening to your favourite music
* watching a box set of a TV show
* healthy recipe book
* trip to the cinema
πClothes
* exercise gear
* running shoes
* swimsuit
* piece of clothing that makes you happy

* cosmetics
* massage
* haircut
* professional teeth whitening
* Getting your nails done
π§π»ββοΈExperiences
* night out dancing
* session with a personal trainer
* healthy cooking class

When it comes to choosing your rewards, try something that will keep you on the road to health and fitness, not throw you off course.
Choosing non-food rewards may also help break the habit of rewarding yourself with food or drink.
