Rewards

I’ve been rewarding myself in simple ways.  I usually buy store brand snacks, but yesterday bought real Doritos.  I had a coupon that made them 1.99 as opposed to store 1.25.  I akmost caved because I am such a frugal shopper.  I said to myself it’s only 75 cents and you can have the real deal!  I just need little rewards.  My fur babies get goodies too.  I can’t do a lot being disabled, so with pride I walked out of Safeway with the real deal!  Passed some smokers on the way to the car.  Smeled so good.  Don’t know if I will ever get passed that.

Hi Gwenivere I am glad you got the Doritos...lol...rewards are important...and hon that isn’t a real big one...lol...and it’s ok that the smoke smells good...as long as we don’t act on it...I am here to tell you when I walk to our strip mall the hairdressers are always out smoking and every once in awhile it smells good to me...but I know I can never have one puff...Glad to see this post from you...Happy Saturday hon to you and your fur babies...~ Colleen 250 DOF

You deserve those Doritos so I hoped you enjoyed them.  There's times when those smokes smell real good to me also.  Enjoy your day.

I like that you're rewarding yourself!!  You so deserve those Doritos!!!  Good for you   As for the smell...well, sometimes it smells good and other times it smells absolutely awful.  I hope there are times you smell the awful, too.

I also like the smell of smoke. My husband smokes outside and, if I'm out there, I'll get a whiff. Then I listen to him cough and wheeze and completely lose any desire I might have to smoke.

I've been using a snack at night as a reward for another day won. Usually something sweet. Like today I made a cherry dump cake. I think rewarding ourselves is important but, at some point, I'll give up the sweets for things that have more value.

Doesn’t making a reward something with more worth (like better for you) defeat the purpose?

Rewarding yourself is always good I’m happy to hear you are doing that.  I love finding a good coupon it just makes my day. Now I want some Doritos the nacho cheese flavor.
