    Oooh, fun! In.

    I've been setting a little money aside regularly for a while now for just such a reward. I want to go on an EPIC bike tour. Like a week long tour of some beautiful place (holland? greece? italy?) with a plush tour company. I want to ride hard challenging routes, get to places you can't get to by car, meet locals, taste local foods/spirits and stay in plush or semi-plush accomodations...maybe even have a massage scheduled towards the end. The idea of it gets me through many a tough workout.

    A new pair of trainers for Zumba and some cool workout clothes

    I'm also not treating myself with food, because I am not a dog.

    Woof, woof.

    Mine would be gift cards to Boston Pizza, The Keg, and Newfoundland Chocolate Factory.

    Clearly you didn't continue reading my responses....

    Actually, I did. You said:
    As for treating yourself with food: I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. For right now, it doesn't work for me. It is counterproductive to my goal, so I am finding alternatives to food. Do not in anyway think I find treating yourself with food to be bad,

    Dogs may eat the food we give them- but my dogs are certainly "treated" with food. And unlike people, my dogs could care less about any treat other than food. Hence the "I am not a dog" comment. I will change it to " I am not my dogs therefore I do not need to treat myself with food right now." Satisfied?

    You don't want to reward yourself with food. Fine, whatever works for you. I, otoh, enjoy treats, be they a night out at a steakhouse or a big chocolate cupcake. To me, it's offensive to be told "Don't reward yourself with food. You're not a dog." from which I take, "You're subhuman and do not deserve any respect."

    I had never heard of these sports bras, but found a web site selling factory imperfect ones for a discount and ordered one. The site is discountsportsbras.com. Thanks and I hope this helps someone else. :-)
    Get the Enell sports bra. Terrific for us 'bigger' gals. Really helps when excersizing. :)

    I've been buying myself a new houseplant for every 5 pounds I lose as a mini-goal. I love having growing things in the house, but don't have much of a green thumb. Plus, seeing them while I'm on the exercise bike is motivating.

    Things I would like to have in a care package:

    One months worth of sessions with a personal trainer.
    A day at a high end spa with full treatment.
    A beautiful robe that makes me feel feminine and pretty.
    A great moisturizer with a hint of self tanner.

    And once I hit and maintain my weight goal, a new wardrobe.

    Pretty nail polish...because Mani-Pedi looks good no matter what size you are.

    As a reward to myself, I'm making a "Fat Girl Care Package" as a treat. Mine is including:

    Hypershred
    Joint Fuel by Twinlab
    Enell Sportsbra
    Soap and Glory Sit Tight Intense XS Firming Cream

    These are some pricier items I've been wanting on this journey to slenderland.

    What would be in your "care package"?

    I'm sorry but all that seems like a waste of money

    I'd say the sportsbra was a necessity....if I didn't wear one when I was exercising I'd be knocking pictures off the wall, damaging furniture and scaring cats...not to mention my hubby!

    Yeah...when my trainer makes me do jumping jacks, jump rope, anything with the word "jump" in it- I always say oh today is black eye day eh?

    I found a store in my town that supposedly sells the Enell sportsbras. I will give some feedback if I get one- thinking about checking at lunch!!!!

    Gerard Butler is like a Care Package essential. He should just show up holding the care package with a bow on his head.... :)

    This, plus the occasional self-inflicted black eye. :laugh: Besides, running without a good sports bra is just, ow. :grumble:

    Nothing I want and can afford is a waste of my own money. I'm treating myself, and that is the whole point. Negativity is not needed. If you don't want to play along, stay off the playground.

    Great answer. :)

    I am thinking about a digital food scale, possibly a Fitbit Flex, HRM, good sports bras, some good athletic shoes, an elliptical machine, and some weights. Oh and some really good skin moisturizer.

    ETA: I was only thinking fitness stuff. Love the other lists! Pretty panties and bras? Definitely in. Massage oils. A pedicure. A boob job. lol And an awesome, meandering trip...not too touristy, just low-key, seeing stuff and meeting people.

    Oh, and an iPod for tunes while I work out. :)

    This is a fun thread.

    I love this idea. Obviously I'm a guy so I think it's maybe a little different for me.

    I would probably like a night with a woman. Just one night with someone, soft and feminine; nothing weird, I'm not talking about creepy stuff. Gentle massage and soft spoken words. More intimacy than sex. Hopefully for a few hours and what happens happens. Then we just fall asleep together until the morning.

    Why just one night?

    A starving man does not want a million dollars, Joy_Joy_.

    He only wants a crust of bread.

    But a starving man would also see the opportunity to have much more than just the crust. With some decent work, he could aim for a whole jelly donut.

    This has escalated quite quickly from your first post. lol It's okay though - we girls have all heard the "I just want to hold you" line before. :wink:

    Why all of the hate? If someone wants to reward themselves for completing a goal, isn't that their own choice?

    Wowzers.
