Personal Rewards



Recommended Posts

My birthday is next month, and I had told myself and my hubby that if I did good from now until the 8th, I was going to reward myself with some "good" food. Well, I have not done good so I've grounded myself and said stick to the same foods.

When I started this topic earlier (then my computer lost what I had typed) I realized that I don't need to reward myself with food. After all, I got obese by comforting myself with food. That is like telling an addict "if you stay clean and sober a year, I'll give you some heroin." Well, I've decided instead, I'm going to get a piercing. I'm getting it this weekend because my hubby gets paid and the Tattoo studio is having a sale this month.

What kind of rewards do you give yourself?

That would scare the bejesus out of me. I'm terrified of heights. Maybe I should tell my husband that the piercing is for reaching onderland. Then I could get a bday present on top. lol I'm sure going to try

Try you never know lol. I'm terrified of heights too but I did it once when I was in my early teens so I figured I'd try it again

Clothes, jewelry, a night out dancing, a concert, tattoos, depends on what you enjoy.

I haven’t had my surgery yet, but we enjoy horses. So my rewards will most likely be new things for my horses, rodeo dates, or maybe hubby will trail ride with me as a reward. We shall see 😊

My hubby and I go get new tattoos every year during tax time. I love needles and ink. I told him last night I had an idea for a tattoo that I want other than to finish filling in my right arm for my sleeve.

I was going to bungee jump once, but the person I was with chickened out. Now, I don't think I would have the cajones to do it.

I rewarded myself with 3 helix piercings last week for losing 95lbs. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I hit 100 :)

I was wanting a daith so bad and my septum. I have pierced my septum twice myself but took it out for surgery. I'm getting a dermal this weekend. But as I mentioned earlier, I think I'm going to sweet talk the hubs into feeling its a reward for losing 50 then on the 8th I'll get a present too. LOL i'm usually not selfish. But what the hey

I’ve bought lots of clothing. Several expensive handbags. One expensive watch, but my watch I want for goal weight I am waiting to get.

Last week I got my hair colored and cut.

I bought a few new jackets and coats, some new cute leather booties too.

The clothing is necessary. Ive tried goodwill but ours is 5-8 bucks a piece and I’m not paying that for used clothing from wal mart and old navy when I can get new stuff from there cheaper. I’d rather pay 12 bucks for something new but that’s me.

I am planning a vacation in March, and I should be at my first major goal by then.

I’m only 2 weeks out from surgery - but once I get low enough I want to go horseback riding. I haven’t been in 30 years because I’ve been too heavy (poor horse!). One of my goals is to be able to ride again!!

And if I weren't in Ohio I would be there too. Looking to get down to Appaloisa weight from a Morgan. Late Hubby used to tease me, said I was the only person he ever knew that gripped Merry-go-round horses with her knees! Told him it all depends on where you start in life, used to ride my uncle's horses, I had a life long before I married him, never lived in a vacuum.🐎

I got my piercing yesterday and I LOVE IT. I was even telling my piercer that I felt I deserved it and that I had lost over 50 pounds. I think my next reward will be some new clothes. I think I'll wait until I reach my goal weight though. It will be nice to wear jeans comfortably again.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
