When You Get To Your Goal Weight, How Do You Plan To Reward Your Self??



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I like to give myself little rewards when I achieve my weekly goals that I set myself! Eg: go to the movies, go out for dinner, buy an item of clothing, buy a new handbag etc...

Is there anyone else who does this?? And what type of things do you reward your self with?

How will/did you reward yourself BIG when you get/got to goal weight?

I plan on getting a tattoo that I've wanted for yearrrrrrs... :-D but I have never had the balls to get it... So I made it my reward! ;-)

Ty and I will be married when we are our goal weights! We already know we will be married, I just can't wait to have the biggest party of my life (reception) in the dress I can only imagine myself when I am at my goal, and he said he was ok with waiting if I was.

Aww, I love this question. :)

I have not decided how to reward myself along the way.

But when I get to my ultimate goal weight I want to go on vacation to Australia, New Zealand,

or Hawaii. Gotta go somewhere with a beach to show off my new body ;)

I'm waiting for my surgery date, but I've decided I'm going on a cruise with one of my bff's who just had the sleeve done. We're excited to go and wear bikinis for the first time ever. :)

I may get another tattoo (or two, lol) or my nose pierced, I haven't decided. I need to see how my current tats hold up to the weight loss, and then I'll see where to go from there!

good question ! I never thought of a reward, as i felt my newly slim healthy body would be my reward , but i love the idea of a ring as a reminder of my accomplishment. Great idea !( I do love silver and diamonds !)

My goal is too get a breast lift with augmentation. Of course I will probably get a Tummy Tuck as well. I already started my savings account!

When I first started my journey I thought about how I would reward myself too! Somewhere along the way in this past year the constant weight loss distracted me and when I reached my goal (I lost 150 pounds in one year) I completely forgot about that. I'm skinny now hehe... what an AWESOME reward!! I wear size 4 jeans and size small shirts now... REWARD! Honestly, I can't think of a single thing I could give myself that would outshine what I have already done for me~ a new body is about the best reward I can imagine! Happy Losing Everyone!! Trust me, it's BEYOND worth every struggle you will encounter! :P

Considering the best reward will be the weight loss and goals. While I haven't given it a thought yet because I am not banded, however I know this sounds ridiculous, but I always wanted a leather jacket. I could own one if I want, but at my weight honestly I never thought I would look good in one. I don't want a long one, I want a short one hopefully one that will show off my weight loss and accentuate my figure.

Great question, and loved all the answers :)

The first six months I could eat whatever I wanted.. just not a lot. The last six months my restriction kept me from eating things like bread, rice, lettuce, hamburger and chicken that wasn't super moist... but strangely enough I've always been able to eat steak!! I think it's because the texture of it lets me chew it so well that it just goes down easily. So.. I've sure eaten a lot of steak lol! I don't honestly eat a lot ever now. My meals are very small, and everyone freaks out about that, but obviously I'm eating enough. I'm healthy, and never go hungry! ;) I really miss eating salads, but I can't chew lettuce well enough I guess so it never settles well. I love that it takes very little to satisfy me but that also makes me need to constantly be aware of what I do eat because it has to count!

I just started my weight loss journey, but I would really like to reward myself by being able to enjoy an awesome roller coaster ride!! I remember I used to love them until I got to big and no longer fit in them! My excuse has always been I don't like to ride them or I'm afraid! But the truth is I'm to embarrassed to say I can't ride them because I'm too fat! But I know I will (hopefully soon) be able to ride them again! :)

Great question !! Im not sure if this is a "reward" or not, but my goal was to lose 85 to 100 lbs. Im almost half way there (45 lbs) , and while our 25 th wedding anniverary is coming up in July, we have neither the time or money to do anything. So........... I suggested to hubby that next summer (2013) we Celebrate late by going to Alaska on a guided fishing trip ( where you stay in the cabins, they do all the cooking and they take you out on the fishing boats etc.) By then i will be a normal weight (140-125) and will feel much more comfortable climbing in and out of a small plane, and not sinking the boat ! That will definetly be my "reward !!!!"

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
