Non-food rewards?

[MlkPas 5]

I'm less than 48 hours from my surgery, and I should be studying for my psychology midterm tomorrow, but instead I have been hanging out on the internet googling "VSG" and "WLS" and so on. That got me thinking that I should see if there's any such thing as a WLS or VSG refrigerator magnet to add to my collection!

DH and I collect refrigerator magnets in a big way. A few years ago we painted our kitchen ceiling with magnetic paint, and now it looks like this:

I went to food rewards for weight loss?

Come to think of it....NOTHING! How creative your idea is and I just love your ceiling. Each magnet must signify something and to look up at them all must be an intrigue! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your home and heart. That is such a unique thing to do.

That is an absolutely awesome idea. . . Honestly, my reward is clothing, jewelry, shoes and socks.

I don't have anything specific to show my progress except the smaller sizes on my clothing tags.

LAN, my hubby travels a LOT on business, and he always brings a magnet from wherever he goes. That's been going on for more than 12 years now. And we like to add to the collection when we go on vacation, or to an amusement park, or a show (we have a "Cirque du Soleil" section, a "Broadway musicals" section, a "concerts" section, and so on), and now friends and family have gotten into the habit of picking up magnets for us on their travels, too. And then there are magnets for the schools we've all gone to, and so on.

It's an awesome collection because magnets are cheap (even the MOST expensive ones are $10 or less), they don't take up space in your luggage, and if they're up on the ceiling, they're not taking up space or gathering dust elsewhere in the house! :kiss2:

Tiffy, I'm hoping my little magnet collection will keep me from shopping TOO much before I hit goal! :scared0:

Neat idea, funny how the few magnets on your fridge are utilatarian and not just for looks.

Oh cool ceiling!!! Wow!

I've bought some clothes and I've dropped a full shoe size so those need upgrading too. I love updating my weight loss ticker and my weight on the online food intake calculator I use (I enter what I eat and it keeps track of my protein/carb/fat etc.).

I'm looking to take in a few really favourite clothes but otherwise I need to do some more shopping now spring is in the air. I think a complete wardrobe clearout would do as a reward, too...
