How are you going to treat yo'self?

How are you going to treat yo'self once you get to your goal weight or your mini goals?

I have two mini goals on the way to my goal weight (135). I'm 155 now.

At 150 lbs I'm going to buy myself a new pair of workout leggings from lululemon. Last year for Christmas / birthday I got a $50 gift card that I've been holding onto.

At 145 lbs, which I hope to reach by February, I'm going to buy myself a new outfit to wear to Scots Fest, which is my "petty" reason for losing weight. I'm going to buy a new top, New jeans, and a pair of boots!

Do you plan to purchase anything specific that's new or have a nice meal, or go somewhere cool?

I've been buying clothes on the thrift app 'depop' periodically as a little reward when I've had a good few weeks, or when I've clearly dropped a couple sizes and things stop fitting. One of my petty goals has become 'look good in a crop top', though im definitely too old for that look :''-D

By the time I go from 210lb to 164lb I won’t have any clothes that fit. I will be treating myself to a whole new wardrobe, new undies, hopefully pretty bras rather than industrial boulder holders. So looking forward to bagging up every item of clothing I own and donating it.

When I went from obese to overweight, I bought myself a high end fitness tracker to replace an older basic one.

For my 'final' goal of reaching a normal BMI: I don't have anything in mind yet. When I teach that goal, I might still want to lose more to look better. But somewhere down the line I will need to buy new clothes and I'd love to invest in 'proper' clothes instead of the cheap transitional wardrobe selection I have now.

Girl I think you should rock that crop top. I don't believe in age limits when it comes to fashion. I dress the same as I did when I was 28.

If my stomach was bangin' I'd be wearing a crop top!

When I lose the first 10 lbs, I'm going to buy myself a new pair of jeans.
Then, 10lbs after that (so 20 total lbs), I have a whole beautiful wardrobe packed away in a bag that will fit me perfectly again. That'll be such a treat. I will probably replace a large portion of my active wear at that point since the stuff I'm wearing now has gone through two years of use and a large weight fluctuation. Spandex and lycra can only handle so much lol.

I'm treating myself by gaining weight again (on purpose). Yay me!

Well, for fifty pounds lost my boyfriend is buying me a Dooney & Burke purse. (grin) Seventy five pounds is a pair of ruby and diamond earrings. And goal is between eighty and a hundred pounds away (I'll decide when I get there) and I'm thinking that would be a ruby and diamond tennis bracelet. (I want rubies and diamonds to match my engagement ring, which will be a ruby with side diamonds.)

Just be mindful. Every time I reached a goal and thought “I can’t possibly get any smaller”, I did. Then did again. Then again. I’ve gone from a 22W or 24W to a 2 or XS in most brands, and even some of those bag on me now. I already see I’ve got to pull out last winter’s clothes and dump some. Soooooooooo much wasted money.

I know it’s crazy tempting but before you go hog wild, just do a small inexpensive basic wardrobe and stay static for a while. You may be surprised that either the weight continues to fall off, or your body rearranges itself. Yesterday, I pulled out a nice mid- sleeved blouse I bought a year ago, only to discover it no longer buttons around my biceps. And that’s with a 20 pound weight loss since I bought it!
