Rewarding Yourself at Your Goal

Anyone else have something planned as a reward for hitting their goal weight? I have my eyes set on a new Miata (Club Spec). A little expensive for a present to myself, but I also see it as motivation. Been in the market anyway for a second car.

My reward will be either going to Hawaii or taking a cruise. ????

Clothes shopping! I even have to stop myself now as a pre op from buying clothes in the size I hope to become. ☺️

I've been throwing out stuff that gets too baggy all last week. It's hard not to buy clothes now because at this rate, if I buy anything, I'd be throwing it out in 2 months.

I like that idea !!!!!!

Cool car.

Don't think I'd stand a chance in one at my height but a convertible sporty car is an interest.

Mine was supposed to be a trip to somewhere I could wear a bikini... Haven't been able to manage that trip yet, sadly!

That needs to be remedied.

I saw your before/after pics.

You have sculpted a body that's screaming for the beach life.

Inspiring results. Inspiring hard work and motivation.

When I got to my goal weight, got ALL NEW CLOTHES, now that I beat it I want to visit Oriental Massage parlors :)

100 lbs bought me a pair of calf length boots for winter. I haven't figured out what is next. Small amount of clothes has been bought. I'm growing out of it so fast. Hmmmmm...

I grew up about four hours from Orlando, so for years my dad and I would drive down, go to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World one day and then go to Universal's roller coaster park Islands of Adventure the next day. I've since moved several states away and my dad is about a 7 to 8-hour drive away now. I've mentioned to him that we should go when I meet goal weight and he seems like he could get into it. We'll see as the time gets closer. We're probably talking about a year from now because we always go during the off season.

Awww thanks! Just saw this. I will get there someday, hopefully soon!

Surfing lessons are definitely on the list!

Oooooh! Me too!
