Treats without food

[Gladys Friday]

Hi All

I have heard about a book which is called something like, "Treats Without Food". It is about having treats other than food ones. The problem is that I am not sure it even exists! I have either read it's name on this forum or it was in a made up case study in my healthy weight group!!

Can anybody enlighten me please?

Thanks

Debbie

Not sure about a book but if you google Treats Without Food there seems to be lots of articles about different things to do

I need more treat ideas

Seriously Ladies, do we need a book to find ways to treat ourselves without resorting to food?

You need practice not a book.

Shall we start a list?

Nails is a good way to avoid food at least in the short term you can't make a sarnie with wet nail polish

Oh most definitely. I got a manicure and pedicure on Sunday.

Yesterday a little box came with the postman with 3 bottle of OPI

Here's a list

Do something new with your kids
Manicure
Pedicure
Eyebrows
Massage
New hairstyle
Exercise DVD
Add some money to your tummy tuck savings
New lipstick.. Like a Chanel
Special nail polish.. Again like Chanel or OPI or even Rimmel
Facial
Leg wax - not sure if thats a treat though
Try a new exercise like aquafit
Get measured for a good bra And buy a good one
Toss out the old undies and buy new
Spanx or similar
Shoes
Handbag
New phone
Charm Bracelet - e.g. pandora
new Charm for each stone lost.
Pair of good jeans
