Non-food rewards

  • Popular Post

Hey, does anybody want to share their non-food rewards? I hit 60 lbs down today and I'm going to take a long lunch break from work and go see Night School. I've also just scheduled a massage and facial. Whee!

Anybody else? I'd love to build a list of non-food rewards that we can turn to when we deserve a treat but cheesecake is NOT it!

  • My non food reward was to buy a motorcycle! I did not want to be heavy on one so I always told myself if I lost enough weight I would finally get one!

    I have a charm bracelet (in the Pandora style, but it isn't Pandora-branded) that I'm adding a charm to, every time I lose 10 pounds.

    At 90 lbs down I treated myself to a new fall coat and 3 new pairs of shoes.

I decided to get a second set of ear piercings once I am under 200 lbs! I always wanted to but never felt myself worth the money and effort. Almost there!

Once I'm under 200, I'm getting another tattoo and once I'm under 150 I'm getting a king sized mattress

I haven't even had my surgery scheduled yet, but I have thought about this.

Being as I expect to have to buy a new wardrobe anyway, I am planing on treating myself to having my "colours done" - you know, you meet with a consultant and they tell you what colours you should be wearing on your body and next to your face during the different seasons, what make up shades you should wear, and jewellery colours.

I'm a very pale green-eyed redhead but with ruddiness in my face due to rosacea. I'm in the fat-trap of wearing black and I know it's not doing much for me. Of course I gravitate towards greens, but I would really like to have a whole seasonal colour palette laid out for me. My best friend had it done, and it took years off her instantly.

So good a little gold or bronze helps with a ruddy completion. Too many people go ashy and it makes you’re skin more red. I’m a redhead as well 3 generations of every shade of red you can imagine. Enjoy getting your colors done.
My guess, an autumn because of your rosacea, other wise you would be a spring, I'm, to get exact A May basically spring but can wear Some of the summer palate. So what am I wearing now? A gray sweatsuit, and I know that isn't my shade.
Mostly new clothes and shoes. I also like getting my nails done

I went this route too, but with Alex & Ani bracelets. I am doing one every 25 lbs!

Ugh I find non food rewards really hard to do! I am so used to just buying things and doing things when I want, not keeping it as a special reward.

I highly recommend the piercing route ?

My next milestone: less than 220 lbs means a double-digit weight in kilograms (I know, I'm a nerd). That will be a pedicure. Next milestone after that: 216, which will be halfway to my goal. Not sure what my reward will be for that. And then the big Onederland milestone. Might try to get out of town for a weekend with the hubby when I get there!

Update: I've reached my first milestone - 218 today (or 99 kg!!)! Pedicure time this Friday!!

Good morning all! Today I experienced my first non food reward since being on this journey! I got a custom full body massage and IP resort and spa in Biloxi today!! It was amazing I have never done anything like that for myself before! I will do again!
Well worth going to Mississippi for! Wish I were there instead of gloomy drizzly Central Ohio today☔⚡☁☔

Love the Pandora idea, I was thinking of doing a Glamour shots once I hit my gw of losing 85 pounds

I reward/ spoil myself all the time, probably more than i should but who cares it’s part of that whole self love thing right?

Pedicures/ gel manicures
Nice handbags
Pretty dresses
About once per year or every other year i temporarily lose my mind and trade my car in for something cuter.
Vacation
You name it- i’ll do it. I’m all about non food rewards.
I wanted to treat myself to some plastics too, but i just don’t need it.
