The correct answer to fill in the blank is:

Charles is using the “Self-Reinforcement” strategy.

Self reinforcement is a type of self conditioning method which serves to reinforce the link between a certain stimuli and response through reward. In this case when Charles loses weight (stimuli), he is going to buy himself a new shirt (response / reward).
