Hi Y’all,
How do you reward success?
Many of us were conditioned as children that if we did something, we would be rewarded with some type of candy, cookie, cake etc.. Our minds then began to link eating junk food with being good.
If you struggle with dieting and weight loss, ending this link could be a key to ending those struggles. Can you see how you can become frustrated as you have a treat and feel good about it (past conditioning), then feel bad when you are finished because you are sabotaging your chances of lasting weight loss?
To change, start by NEVER using food again as a reward. Find something else you enjoy, (ex. buy a book, flowers, do something that makes you feel good etc.)
If you have been using food as a reward with your children, STOP! The frustration and pain you have been experiencing is likely to be the same for your kids when they get older too. Sit down with them and have them help you come up with non food rewards that will motivate them.
God bless,
Danny
