Do you have a reward for yourself when you hit goal?

This is funny, I was just babbling about my rewards in my journal. When I got my band I set several mini-goals for myself. I've achieved the first three so far.

-30 lbs. (250) I bought an ipod.

-50 lbs. (230) A Van Gogh print - Irises.

-75 lbs. (205) Another Van Gogh print - Almond Blossoms.

-100 lbs. (180) I'm going to go horseback riding.

-125 lbs. (155) I'm going to an amusement park and ride roller coasters.

-140 lbs. (140 goal) I'm going to take a "discovery flight" at a flight school.

For a while now, I've really wanted to get another tatoo, and I've been thinking that when I reach my goal I would get a new tatoo. Then I would never forget how far I've come, and how hard I've worked to get where I am.

I also like the idea one of you had about a promise ring, something I would wear all the time, to remind me of what I've accomplished.

I am newly banded and a LONG way from my goal, but my husband and parents are each pledging me $5 for every pound I lose, so that when I reach my goal, I can reward myself and go on a shopping spree! What motivation! I have a really pretty jar that we put in the kitchen, and each month we will put the cold hard cash in the jar for ME! This helps in the replacement cost of all the new clothes I will need!

My reward is going to be a new wardrobe (after I donate my old clothing). A bikini and a trip to the carribean!

I Love The Idea Of Putting Money In A Jar For Every Pound And For Working Out. I Won't Be At My Goal By July, I Hope To Be Down A Total Of 90 Lbs, For We Are Having A Family Reunion And I Want To Surprise All My Family Who Seen Me Last Yr Still Big. Then, When I Do Get To My Goal I Want To Take Atrip. Maybe Two, One With My Grandchildren To Walt Disney World So We Can Walk All Over And I Will Feel Geat! Then A Cruise Somewhere. Sure Makes A Person Feel Great Just Thinking About It.

When I hit 60lbs I bought myself a 30 gig IPOD. I figured since I spend so much time at the gym the IPOD was well worth the investment.

I'm looking foward to meeting my goal of 120 - 150lbs lost, who knows how I'll reward myself then. I'm sure I'll come up w/ something. I think the $ jar is an excellent idea. I'm going to start mine today.

I want to ride a horse!! I've never ridden a horse for fear of hurting the horse, but its something I have always wanted to do...and I will someday!!

As a defense mechanism, I always tell people I'm to scared...but thats not the case at all...*heavy sigh*

I plan on going on a week long hiking trip all by my lonesome, with one of my dogs. I may go to Arkansas or even North Carolina. Another goal is to finish a triathlon when getting close to goal. My other half is already going to give me $500 for clothes, so I'm treating myself to something I could never do before the lap band.
