Dear Rachel,
Your daily lattes! Oh wow! My huge congratulations to you and good luck on this goal I know how important the lattes are to you. I need to think of a goal with that kind of reward at the end of it...but I'm blanking on what my reward can be...I do however know what I should give up...my daily sweets!
I have the worst sweets addiction ever! I usually cave and get something chocolate once a day! and that's after resisting it the ten other times I wanted it each day. It's so bad I don't even keep chocolate in my apartment because I know it won't last.
I try to buy "healthy" (meaning somewhat better for you, but not completely) substitutes like frozen yogurt to satisfy my sweet cravings...but I end up going out and getting something instead of eating the frozen yogurt most of the time!
You know you have an addiction when...you travel outside the frickin' house late at night because you just NEED that McFlurry or cold stone or cupcake (from the nifty little cupcake shops popping up all over now) or a whole entire chocolate pie!
So when I think up a reward that is certainly what I should give up in order to get it. In the meantime here are some links that are SUPPOSED to help people resist sweets:

Any suggestions for a reward for a person like me on a budget? Can't wait to hear how the latte thing is going.
Sincerely,
Angela
