How do you reward yourself for milestones?



Recommended Posts

My husband and grandparents (we are super close and they're like my parents) are going on a trip when I hit final goal. We were going to go to Europe somewhere, but I think I'll lose all my weight before the unsettled tension stops :/

Ooh, I'm loving reading these goals/reward plans/hopes.. they're inspiring!!

I jiust hit one: I dropped down below 210, I was 209 at my weekly weigh in at the nurse's office at the school where I work. Thrilling! But my first reward won't be till I drop below 200.... my highest was 305.

My reward for below 200 will be a weekend in Boston!!

Now I am holding off on the whole new wardrobe until around july to see where this whole weight thing stabilizes.

Already my face looks quite thin (comparatively) so I'm getting all the "Ok stop there" comments, but my waste isn't all that skinny, plus far more importantly: it my freakin body!! So up (down) and onward to go...!! wheee...this is a blast

Shopping is my reward . I plan on setting a goal weight and when I get there I'm gonna clear my closet out and get some nice new clothes :) I'm only 2 days post op so I have a ways to go. I've never been one for mani/pedi but who knows that might change now that I can't find my reward in food like I've always done before

Clothes, clothes and more clothes. I'll even buy something smaller than I can wear at the time and look forward to when it fits. Unfortunately, I have several of those items that are too big now and still have the tags hanging on them :) I just list those and all my old "fat" clothes on eBay and let someone else enjoy them. My end goal will be to have skin removal surgery but that won't be until at least 18 months post-op! When I hit my 1 year surgiversary (4/21/16) I will put on my "before" outfit I took pics in and take new "after" pics. Can't wait to see the comparison! It was really hard to take those before pics but now, so glad it did!!!

I'm all about non-food awards! I've cut and dyed my hair, shopped for some new clothes, taken time for regular mani/pedi's, facials, massages, a ton of new high end makeup, purses! and when I hit goal the ultimate reward will be a mommy makeover!

It feels amazing and at times I wonder if the shopping isn't giving me a bit of s replacement high but right now I'm allowing it because the things I'm doing are making me feel good and hey it's about damn time I felt good about myself!

LO siento but all these "female answers" make me wonder what the male counter part

rewards would be...? A new wrench perhaps? Gun? hammer? Razors, pitbull, truck,clubs, big stomping work boot

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
