Reward Yourself!!

306lbs to 290lbs = Pat on the back!
290lbs to 275lbs = Pat on the back!
275lbs to 250lbs = An MP3 player!
250lbs to 225lbs = New work clothes!
225lbs to 200lbs = Night out with Hubby!
200lbs to 175lbs = New hair cut and style!
175lbs to 140lbs = Surprise from Hubby!
(don't forget new clothes by main goal weight!)
 
My favorite way to celebrate my weight loss is for sure buying clothes in teeny, tiny sizes! :drool5: Usually from the thrift store, but occasionally brand spanking new. I try to always have a skirt or pants waiting in my closet that are much too small, and I try it on REGULARLY. It's a great motivator and feels so wonderful when it fits! It's also a treat to get DH to take more pics for me to post on this great site!

Oh yeah, I also LIVE to update my ticker below! It's been a while now...

Cheers

I don't know if this is so much a reward, rather than just documentation, but I started getting my pictures taken more often. I got them at 90 pounds, and now at 105. Hopefully the results will appear more obvious to me this way. Always looking for clothes in the next size down, so that isn't so much as a reward, but I have been buying more shoes. (I'm going to need a new closet by the time I'm done.)

I got a tattoo about 2 months ago, a butterfly with my initial. When I am done I plan on finishing it off with 3 smaller butterflies with my kiddos initials. Hmm, other than that, we are trying to plan a 3rd cruise, but I honestly don't want to go until I'm at my goal, so we'll see there.
 
Alternatives to food as a reward

Hey everyone,
Firstly, mods: if this is in the wrong section, then please feel free to move it.

I have a terrible habit of using food as a treat or reward, for example if I complete a big assignment or something I'll allow myself an ice cream, or something like that. I'm basically just wondering if anyone has suggestions for little things I could use as a yay-I'm-finished-treat or a well-done-reward?
I'm a student, so don't have cash to buy things, which is why food often gets used - it happens to be in the cupboard anyway, and so isn't an extra expense I can't afford! Add to that is the fact that food is my big vice; I don't smoke, do drugs, whore around...I just really enjoy good food.

So, there's the situation. If anyone has any suggestions they'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Meg.

there is a thread or two around rewards... you don't have to spend a lot of money on a reward it can be a magazine -a bubble bath - a bottle of nail polish...

You can go to a thrift shop and buy yourself an outfit that's just a trifle too small -or set up a clothing share program with other people who are also trying to lose weight and when you hit that size -your reward is you have somehing new to you - to wear


What got me thru my first 125lbs - was a paper chain I had created ... it was a gum wrapper chain that I made out of pretty paper -and i just kept adding to the chain- it was good incentive to see the chain keep growing... while I wasn't
 
If you are into music, you can use that as a reward. For each little step you can reward yourself with a download. It is money, but it's not much, so you can use it often.

It's a better alternative to taking up whoring around as a reward.

What about clothes!
When I reach a goal (or just eating well for a week) I go out and treat myself to a new top or a pair of shoes. Or I say "I cant buy clothes until I lose 2kg!).

Or buying make up? Thats something little that you can buy for a reward, or some cheap jewellery or a book?

What about exercise equiptment or nutrition books? Something to help you along with your weight loss is always good.
 
I like the music and paper chain ideas, thanks. I also like the clothes sharing one, but I can't find anything like that around here, and unfortunately I can't afford - even cheap - clothes that often!

I'm giving me and my family a trip to Disney World (and a chance to see old friends in Orlando). Of course, my family consists of myself and my wife. And We could stay with our friends so the trip would be cheap. And I have friends that work at Disney still so I can still get free tickets. Well hell, I should go now!
 
LOL , I went to the domincan republic for my honeymoon and tried to convince my wife to go topless.. she wouldn't do it.. whats up with you women.. If i was a women ide be showing everyone. Ide prolly be a big hoe
 
Aye! Not all women can be hoes, some of us have to be keepers.

I do have to say though, If I was on my "goal" vacation and feeling the moment, and maybe I was on the beach in front of the ocean, and not too many people were around, and if I was probably drinking a little too much, I would do it. :D lol
 
Bahaha, well yeah ya know... Living in that moment. It's kind of like a fantasy. ;)

I'm not about to lay butt nehkid on a beach with a bunch of screaming kids running around, and dogs sniffing, and people throwing frizbees over me, and the local homeless guy shuffling through the garbage, etc... lol
