Yeah, Sort of Like the Tooth Fairy


Hello Diet Divas,

Remember when the tooth fairy left spare change under your pillow when you lost a tooth and how excited you were to find it when you woke up? (I hated those kids that got $, all I got was a note saying to brush well). The exhilaration was so fanatical that you spent all day in the mirror wiggling each and every tooth for additional monetary compensation, you wanted the tooth fairy to drop the mother load of dimes, nickels and quarters all at once (no pennies please, even at that young age, you felt pennies were not worth the effort to lose a tooth).

Well back to my point (must keep focused). Losing a tooth back then gave us our rewards, losing a tooth today will just make us look silly so don’t attempt it (on purpose that is). So why not take an old habit and make it new again? Why not reward ourselves for the weight that we lose? No, I don’t mean rewarding yourself with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream for losing 5 lbs., that would be pointless now wouldn’t it? I mean a reward like a pedicure, a new handbag, pair of shoes or a mini spa day for a facial? Or better yet, place a fiscal value on every pound that you lose, let’s say $5.00, and for every pound that you lose, tuck that $5 bill away to save for a bigger purchase, perhaps that Tiffany bracelet that you have been eyeing for close to two decades now (and here you thought you were never going to afford that shiny piece of bling)

Diet Divas, pamper and reward yourselves for losing, don’t let the tooth fairy be the only Diva giving rewards, besides unless you are in your twilight years and ready to be fitted for your dentures, she is not going to be visiting you any time soon anyway, so in the meantime, become her, and bestow the rewards upon yourselves.
