A new way to reward without food!



Recommended Posts

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 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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
