How do you reward yourself for milestones?

Right now I see nothing but my goals. I know this will eventually slow down as weeks and months pass, so my plan is too keep myself determined by setting rewards for myself for every milestone I hit.

I am 4 days post-op now and down 10 lbs already, in another 10 lbs I will officially drop a size and I plan on clearing out my closet of everything that doesn't fit me and treat myself to 1 new item.

After a following 10 lbs I plan on changing my hair color, and so on...

What have you rewarded yourself ith for reaching your milestones?

I told my hubby that i want a new car when I make my goal....haven't decided what I want yet and still have plenty of time. But I'm thinking German and sporty...

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!

A pedicure does wonders for me when im feeling like i need a pick me up. Especially the one i go to that has the fabulous massage chairs. ????

I LOVE THIS IDEA! Fun! Do it!

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

?? hmmmmm
