Some habits are cold turkey ones (smoking) some are reward for patience ones (eating out) some I comprimise.

I personally hate pnut butter sandwhiches, but going to the kids ped means we have to pack food, and the only food easy to pack that is safe if needed to be eaten and stored in the car (though we try to avoid that) is pb no J. so I eat it, about monthly these days. Anyway my reward for not eating it all out is I get to have frys after the sandwhich is gone (at the mall and shared with family)

For not smoking I don't hang out with smokers and I don't go near convenice stores (where I used to buy them, old old habit, like 5 years quitish)

For Handwahing dishes (dishwasher now works but only with the ultra expensive soap) I get to shower ALONE! (major reward for a mom) as soon as the last load is done at night. (DH takes DC's to bath in the other tub). I also use it for special occasions (last night DH filled it, he doesn't hand wash but he can fill a Dishwasher, mothers day reward)
