What do you do when you want to treat yourself?

I had a PB&J sandwich yesterday. And a big glass of chocolate milk.

Not really treating myself. Just wanted it.

My wife walked by and said, "What are you, six?"

I don't like peanut butter ...but I do have strawberry milk in the fridge.. :love:
 

I do not 'treat myself' in that term. When I quit smoking years ago, I would take that money and buy things I needed or wanted. Decor for house, new shirt etc. But there were times while out shopping would have lunch by myself, or get and ice cream cone. I consider hair cuts a necessity vs. Do not do nails and toes anyway. However I did do both once was on bucket list at the time:)
 
I like a quiet Saturday night / a Jack Ryan Movie and a 6 pack of Buds. ... :ROFLMAO: ...
Grandkids here sort of move that forward a week too.
 
I found a winner! Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt.
Open a serving. Add nuts of choice, a dollop (my dollops are probably more like triple dollops) of Reddi-Whip, and some Hershey's Zero Sugar syrup. Soooo good. Tastes like Ben and Jerry's chocolate cherry ice cream but way lower calories.
They have 15 to 20 grams of protein....for your muscles.. šŸ˜šŸ’Ŗ

Hmmm. Your question made me realize I donā€™t reward myself for specific accomplishments, that the accomplishment is its own reward.

However I do engage in what I think of as ā€œguilty pleasures,ā€ those things that I donā€™t actually need, but enjoy anyway. Getting a pedicure is oneā€¦heaven!! But even with that, Iā€™m still practical about it! šŸ¤£ I donā€™t get pedicure during the winter because I donā€™t wear sandals so you canā€™t see my toes anyway. A pedicure is warm weather guilty pleasures!

Shopping is another. Shopping, just for fun and not because ai actually need something, is so enjoyable! I will sometimes buy somethingā€¦maybe some home decor, a new top for myself, yummy smelling hand wash, whatever strikes my fancyā€¦but just as often will come home empty handed, and thatā€™s fine too! Itā€™s the experience itselfā€¦the looking and browsing and the different ideas it sparks..thatā€™s the fun part for me!

Pancakes. Every Sunday. When I was on a super strict no sugar diet, Sunday pancakes with maple syrup were the weekly treat.

I guess then I would say ice cream. Every night. In strict moderation. I'm a diabetic. I orgasm at every savory, cold deliciousness.

My parents would tell me I'm my own worst enemy. I would never treat a stranger or a friend the way I do myself. Reward? When I leave myself alone and stop bothering me. Self detente.

I first read, "and stop bothering @dilettante. " and I was going to say, " Oh, but he's such a good sport"
Anyway šŸ¤— to both of you.
