An Incentive... and I hate watching my weight!

Since I've reached Lifetime status on Weight Watchers, things have gone a bit, well, down hill.

I never thought it would be harder to maintain my weight than lose it, but it is.

Especially since I have a whole month in between each weigh-in now.

See, when I was trying to lose weight, if I happened to get a bit out of control (meaning I ate all the chocolate I could get my hands on), I had my Thursday weigh-in looming over me so I almost always got right back on track the next day.

Well, now if I have a "bad" day, I find myself using the fact that I don't have to weigh-in again for another MONTH as an excuse to continue having bad days.

It's not good, especially since these occasions make me feel terrible. I don't like eating so much I want to just lay down and die.

I told Hubs that I needed an incentive program and we actually came up with one.

For each day that I stay on track and count my points like a good girl, I get fifty cents. (I know, not much, but there's more.)

We're going to track it on a month by month basis. If at any point I lose track or stop counting, I not only lose out for that day, but I lose everything I've earned up to that point for the month.

If I stay on track the entire month, I get to take everything I earned and double it.

If I stay on track for six months, I get a $100 bonus.

I think this could work. There are lots of things that I want to save up for. Like the Portraiture Action for Photoshop. Or an annual pass to Disneyland for someone who will actually go with me!

I don't plan on doing this forever. Just long enough to improve my way of thinking.

And get some presents.
