What are some weight loss rewards you rewarded yourself when you reached a certain goal?

I'm a few lbs to my half way goal and I haven't thought of anything yet. Maybe I'll get some idea from the responses here :)

In a past weight loss journey....At -100lbs I bought myself an i-Pod. At -160lbs...I bought myself a kickin' emerald ring!!!! Wearing the ring which I loved, really reminded me on a daily basis of all my hard work and achievement. Expensive rewards....but hell, we deserve 'em!

I love my new body conscious clothes. I prefer things fitted and a little on the tight side. As soon as things get loose, I give them away and embrace the new size. I've shopped pretty much exclusively at thrift stores and consignment shops and I don't buy anything I really don't love. Gone are the days of buying something just because it fits. I have spent money on two new pair of tall boots---the very first time in my 54 years I can wear boots with a regular (not wide!) calf.

I always buy myself clothes, so I do not consider that an award. I've been eyeing the new Nike fuel band, I also plan to get my teeth whitened when I reach goal.

For now, every 20lbs I do a massage and/or mani and/or pedi. Once I hit some of my bigger goals, I've got things like teeth whitening, a Sephora shopping spree, fancy new cut/color, a piece of jewelry I've been coveting, clothing shopping spree. Another one is waxing. I refuse to be waxed now because I feel I'm too big. I can't wait to not have to shave anymore!! Once I hit goal, I've got plastic surgery scheduled as my reward.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
