I find that I always want food as a reward. Like when I'm stuck on imamother and I know I need to clean the house, I'll say "go clean all the bedrooms and then you can have a cookie"
I know it's horrible and I should change the habit but how? what should I reward myself with?
I guess I have everything plus I'm too cheap to actually follow through.
for example, I had said after my 2nd child that I would buy the stroller I wanted if I lost a certain number of pounds. I hit that goal but couldnt get myself to spend the money on the stroller because what I was using was working just fine.

Why don't you try something smaller? Cookies is not good. How about sushi? Better yet, you should pick something with no calories. Is there something you like to pamper yourself like bath salts or a facial for quick rewards?

on one of the threads soeoen said how ww gives out stickers or pins and that sounds so nice to be rewarded by someone.
maybe my issue is I have a problem rewarding myself, and I need to be rewarded.
maybe I'll ask my dh to be in charge of buying me something once I hit a goal.

I like to reward myself with, believe it or not, a night off from exercise. I know it's not ideal, but for me, it's a reward 
Manicures, $10 necklace, a magazine, etc, these are all great non-food options.
Good luck, and yes, teach your DH to buy those rewards and take advantage

the truth is this is not a bad a idea.
I spend way too much on the computer. I really should kill two birds with one stone, no computer unless it's as a reward for housework, exercise, or crossing something off on my to do list.
