Behavioral therapists call it having a "reward procedure" ... sounds complicated? It's not. Treating yourself when you meet a goal will be your own method of positive reinforcement, motivating you to accomplish your goals. Promise yourself a new CD if you walk every other day this month. Or, have a massage when you've lost those first 10 pounds. Give yourself something to look forward to and you'll keep moving forward!
