Most of us know losing weight is hard work and for every personal milestone we reach, a celebration or treat is in order. Instead of reaching for food, treat yourself to some flowers!

You deserve it!

While someone I know was working hard to lose weight, she bought flowers for herself every week that she lost weight.

She didn’t go broke doing it either. She bought herself inexpensive bouquets at the supermarket. Then she took them home, put them in a vase, and kept them on the counter in her kitchen so she would be reminded of her weight loss accomplishments every time she walked into the kitchen. The flowers kept her from mindlessly putting into her mouth more than once.

So the next time you reach a weight loss goal, whether its 5 pounds or .5 pounds, buy flowers for yourself!
