| This week was difficult due to traveling as well as a conscious attempt to sabotage myself so that I wouldn't have to pay the money to buy a new suit as stated in the contract. This reminded me of Ayre's idea that sticks are more efficient because they do not cost you anything. I decided my goal was more important than the reward so I decided to drop this final carrot. This also reminded me of the story in Sticks and Carrots about the Uncle that refuses to pay the debt promised to his nephew. Only in this case I am both uncle and nephew. I suppose if I regret not buying myself a suit as a reward in the future, I will consider it owed to myself. | |

| Week 4 was a success. I think it is getting easier to limit my meal out, and I am really enjoying cooking for myself. | |

| Week 3 was successful! I feel like Tuesdays are the most difficult days, especially if I used up my 2 meals on the weekend. When I make it to Wednesday, I know that tomorrow I will be able to indulge myself. This week the stick, not the carrot was the biggest motivator, because as the upcoming week will be exceptionally busy, I do not want to have to take time out to do an extra chore. | |

| Week 2 was a success! The past few days were the most challenging, but I found ways to eat more healthy foods and stick to my plan. After looking over my most recent bank statement, my resolve to eat out less often was strengthened. | |
