Do you celebrate your milestones?

If so, how?

When I began, I thought I would celebrate 10 pounds off, 20, etc. But I never bothered. I looked at the scale at those times and shouted "YES!" but that was about it.

To me, the biggest one was entering OneDerland. That night I was going to have a big dinner, but changed my mind. I didn't want to jeopardize what I had accomplished. So I had a small piece of fish and some vegetables. The smallest dinner I had all week!

I don't, but when I hit my goal weight (10 more lbs to go), I'm going on a shopping spree for new clothes.

Yes and no. Sometimes I do have treat meals or buy something for reaching a goal, but money has been tight this winter, so I mostly have just shared my victories with my MFP pals, and basked in their kudos. LOL

I have to link my rewards to non-food stuff, trying to change my relationship with food to one where it's purely fuel for me. Instead, I have small rewards like new articles of workout gear or a new dress (like old navy/target) for every 10 pounds. I will hopefully hit 55 pounds down in time for my wedding, so my reward will be a nice spa day. When I've maintained for a significant amount of time, a tattoo!

My partner has been kinda meh about tracking and I'm worried about his health, so I told him if he lost 20 pounds I'd go in on an x-box one or playstation 4 with him, haha. He's into it!

We had a big celebratory dinner after completing each workout program. But what was even better than celebrating was hearing the compliments...and later realizing that people were inspired by my success....can't putnamlrice on that. The ripple effect has already started for you...and the the ripples may seem small at the moment...the do travel far!

I had a reward meal once when I moved gyms, but nothing since. Probably again when I hit goal. I find im more keen to hit the next goal and not undo things ive just spent a lot of effort trying to achieve. Progress is what i want more than food at the moment.

other than a happy dance, nope.

earlier this year (maybe feb) I had bought a pair of jeans and they were too small. I've been trying them on every few weeks. Yesterday, for the first time, they FIT.

i did a happy dance around the house in my jeans and bra and that was it. LOLOLOL

I think this is the best way for us to treat ourselves.

Every time I lift heavier at the gym, I jump up and down!
