Does anyone else have the problem that you do some exercise then 'reward' yourself with (the wrong) food? I keep doing this and need to break the habit! Tips welcome :)

    I linked my reward to buying new nail polishes - a little luxury that works for me! Could you psych yourself out this way - reward yourself with a bubble bath or a massage or something?

    Eat back your exercise calories with the right foods instead of the wrong ones.

    If pizza fits into your macros and you want pizza, there is no reason you shouldn't have it.
