Precommitting to never take candy out of the machine seems like it'll be a lot easier than precommitting to only sometimes take candy out of the bag.

I've been having some issues being clear about when I'm actually rewarding myself; this sheds some light on the subject. I need to find a machine to put my rewards in. Thanks.
