Success is measured in many ways. Maybe it’s how your clothes fit; maybe it’s how much healthier you feel or what the scale says. However you choose to recognize your achievements on the South Beach Diet, you deserve a little reward from time to time — and it doesn’t have to mean taking a diet detour. Here are five guiltless ways to treat yourself for your accomplishments.

1. Treat yourself...
   to a day at the salon or spa. A pedicure, facial, or massage can really keep your spirits high. Or better yet, treat yourself to a high-end haircut or new color to accentuate your newfound confidence.
2. Hit the stores...
   and purchase something you’ve been eyeing, like an outfit, a new book, or a piece of jewelry. Or invest in something that will help you reach your goals, such as walking sneakers, workout apparel, or even a gym membership.
3. Have a "night out"...
   that doesn't revolve around dinner. Instead, after a simple meal at home, go out to a movie or play. Another idea is to spend a day doing something active: Sign up for tennis lessons, try rock climbing, walk around a museum, or rent a bike and explore a new neighborhood.
4. Buy yourself...
   some fresh-cut flowers to decorate your home or office. It’ll brighten up your day and serve as a reminder of your success.
5. Take a bubble bath...
   and enjoy some quiet "me" time to help you focus and stay on track.
