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

[AlleyKat 26]

Oh fun question! My friend and I were banded a month apart and we set some fun mini goal rewards. The 1st is to go to Canada's Wonderland next summer if we are both below 200 and the other is to get our belly buttons pierced (not that I'd ever show anyone lol).

I think when I hit goal I'm going to have to have a ladies night. Go out and get new clothes, dress up, and hit the town with my bffs. I'm smiling just thinking about it...

I am scheduled for my band on July 16th, I have a checklist of things I am looking forward to. I plan to purchase a charm Bracelet and add a new charm at every goal I meet.

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' date=' 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 [/quote']

Love it! I have an old leather jacket that I didn't get to show off a lot as I grew out of it... I can't wait to put it on again a long with all my beautiful dresses and suit cases of skinny clothes! Haha :-)

Great question! I am planning on a trip to the USA (I'm from Australia) to visit my girlfriend and re-marry my honey in Vegas... (again!)

For me, it was being able to call myself a runner!

Oooooh Jachut, i love your comment about being able to call yourself a runner ! Way to go ! I cant wait until i can call myself a runner too ! I have a loooooooong way to go before i can call myself a runner but im looking forward to it. Funny story------ a few months ago i was slowwwwwwly jogging on our local walking trail when a toddler wandered into my path. His mom pulled him aside and gently said "watch out for the runner, honey !" ( Me!??? A "runner?") God bless you lady, you just made my day !!

I haven't yet been banded ( just started the process and insurance will take 5 months) but I think this is a great question. Minus losing the weight as being the reward and shopping for a brand new wardrobe... If and when I ever get married I have always wanted to somehow incorporate part of my moms wedding dress into my own since I know someone that does this for a living. But until I'm down in weight it will never be an option because of my size.

I bought a Pandora Bracelet and have added beads. My favorite bead representing my surgery says "freedom". This is freedom from my old body, freedom from blood pressure meds, freedom from carb comas, and freedom to LIVE again. When I look at that bead it reminds me to be thankful for my second chance at life.

By the way, my success story... I have lost 55 pounds since 1/30/12. From a size 20 to a 14. I am loving it.

Your goal creeps up on you....it's not like you open a present on Christmas Morning, and then Celebrate.< /p>

You celebrate along the way with buying new clothes, doing new things, etc, etc.

By the time you reach your goal, it is just another day, other than the mental aspect of reaching a goal.

Along the way, I rewarded myself dozens of times.

I've had my band for 7 months and have lost nearly 40kgs, I havnt really rewarded myself yet because I want to still lose a bit more. Sure I've bought new clothes and things along the way but that's just because nothing fits me haha. Watching myself get smaller is a great reward in itself but the one thing I have promised myself when I get to my final goal is a bit of a tuck n lift. It seems some parts of me just don't want to go back into place lol.

Not ridiculous at all!! I also have a short leather jacket on my small list of "when I lose this weight"

[pollywogg 17]

I do tons of mini goals along the way. I do something small like a mani, pedi, fitness magazine subscription, or earings every 5 lbs. For hitting 100lbs lost my hubby took me to a spa for a day then a night at a hotel in a beautiful suite. For onderland (only 13lbs away) we are going on a shopping trip to the Mall of America. (I'm in Canada). I LOVE the idea of a ring for hitting my goal! What a beautiful idea! I'm SO going to do that!

When I hit 50 lbs lost.....I am going to buy some Gucci Guilty/Intense perfume. Diva...licious!

Then at goal.....HAWAII!

[andi525 8]

When I hit goal I'm taking myself on a shopping spree!!!! A big one! Entire new wardrobe kind of shopping spree! I'm saving now!

Also, I want to go on a cruise, never been on one, so I'm looking forward to it
