This weekend we went to a yearly convention. Usually I buy myself at least one new dress for the three day convention, but this year it didn't happen as I was feeling BLAH and bloated and yucky. After the end of the weekend and eating junk, junk, junk, I ended up with a 36 hour migraine that wouldn't quit, knowing full well it was brought on by my bad food choices.

My husband asked me why it is that I seem to do so well for a few weeks, and then fall off the wagon hard. I told him I guess I feel like I have no incentive. So he has now given me one! I want to lose 15 lb. So he told me, the first 5 lb, he will give me a $50 gift certificate. The second 5 lb, $100 gift certificate, and yup for the last 5 lb, $150 gift certificate. WOW!!! :noway:

I mean, his money is my money and vice versa, but I would never give myself $300 to go shopping as I can always figure out something else to spend it on for the kids or the house, etc. So this is quite the incentive.

In addition to this awesome site with great advice and good support, I have to say I have an AWESOME HUBBY!

Time to get my butt in gear...

    You've got a good partner. Lucky you!! I know what you mean about not spending money on yourself. Enjoy that shopping spree though. What great incentive.
