I reward myself with little things. For example, if I rent a movie I'll set tasks for myself that I have to do before I get to sit down and watch it. At work I'll tell myself that I have to accomplish X, Y and Z and then I can surf GFF for 15 minutes. Recently I bought a pack of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and put them in the most visible place in my pantry so I would see them every time I opened the door to get something out, but I didn't allow myself to make them until I reached a certain weight. Before I go to bed at night I make myself floss (I'm a compulsive tooth-brusher but I hate to floss). I literally will not allow myself to lie down on the bed if I haven't flossed my teeth, no matter how tired I am. A little psycho, maybe, but it works.
Honestly, if I didn't do things this way I would get nothing done at all.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
