A new way to reward without food!

So, I've been trying to decide what to do to "reward" myself. I told my husband I would like to get a charm bracelet. Well he went out and bought me one for my birthday. Now every 25lbs I loose, I get a charm! I love it and I love rewarding myself with something other than food!

How do you reward your success?

What a great idea! I love specialty stores like Pier One and we have lots of cute shops downtown. I just bought myself a fun pill bottle container from Vera Bradley instead of the "Altoid" box I was carring around... haha

I looooooove the charms idea!!!!

Shopping! I just had to buy new clothes because I am headed to Florida next week and none of my summer clothes fit. Yippie!

I do the same with my Origami Owl Locket. I get a new charm every 20 lbs.

Michael Kors bags :-D lol every one says they are so expensive but heck I was eating out pretty much every day for YEARS so I have money to spare now :-) Plus with surgery I was able to get a full time job making quite a bit more.

Definitely Michael More bags! Found one I loved, but it cost so much! I put it in my cart and wandered around the store while I tried to justify the purchase in my mind. I finally convinced myself (I'd NEVER spent that much on a bag before!). On my way to the register I put everything else in my cart back! Lol

Ive had two massages since my surgery on 4/29. once a week sounds good. I cant wait to start buying some new clothes !

Our local spa does a series of Slenderquest Body Wraps. My husband thinks that would be a great reward while in the weight loss process. It helps you loose inches and is supposed to help tone the skin a bit. I can get it done and get a facial or mini massage while I'm wrapped so I think that may be what I choose as my reward.
