Deserve to Splurge?
The need for a reward is human nature. And for many, that "something special" is food. You can't change what makes you happy, but you can minimize the damage to your healthy eating plan. Choose one portion-controlled item that requires you to leave the house, such as a cup of lobster bisque from your favorite eatery or a small, fresh pastry from the bakery.
It's more rewarding to have a nice treat than to waste calories on regular things you can have anytime, like potato chips or cookies. Even better, find a non-food reward: Catch a movie, get a massage at the spa, or buy a flattering pair of yoga pants.
