Ideas for a One-derland reward?

onhaltn

I hit onederland recently after losing 75 pounds and treated myself to a show at a local, classy theater and a day spa facial, with plans for a day spa massage next to round out the celebration. Treats for mind and body. Once I lose the next 60 pounds, I plan to do a whole weekend at a spa resort. I’m using the savings I have accrued by walking more (less gas and mileage on car) and eating less meat and processed food and restaurant meals (which cost more than the new diet, with dairy and veggies I substituted, even with the added seafood I now buy).

You're in South Carolina....how about a weekend at the beach? The beach is my happy place!

Congratulations on Onederland!!!! Everyone has such wonderful ideas! When I hit Onederland, that fabulous place that I never thought I would get but did, I took pictures. Because when you are a 5'3" woman who was 277 for a couple decades and you get to 199, pictures are an amazing treat to see what you used to look like and what you like now. I am now 130 pounds down, and I am grateful that I took pictures. I also started up some more fitness activities. Which are mostly walking around, and walking and sometimes jogging in place. No equipment needed, and I don't have to leave the house. Which can be a thing here since I don't have a car, and sometimes it is too hot to actually walk unless I get up a couple hours before sunrise (yes I have done it, and yes my neighbors have done the same because it is June and already 110 degrees here).

I also stopped and made some definite plans based on my past success. This was actually very very very important. Because I didn't think I could do it, then I did it, then I was like - what worked? What doesn't work? So while you reward yourself, give yourself some space and grace to reflect and think about your wonderful progress!!

I was in no hurry (I started June 2013). I will still probably lose 10 more pounds but I am giving myself time to do it, and concentrating on maintenance until I have some health issues more sorted.

Way to go on the weight loss! I kind of skimmed over the ideas posted, and honestly I'd do something you consider a splurge. I'm 10 lbs away myself and said I'd go get my hair colored professionally (I usually do the coloring/bleaching/etc myself) or finally get a family portrait done. (My kids are 19 and 27 and we've NEVER had one done)

Maybe put a wish list of items you'd like to do/have done/to purchase and put them in a random number generator or cut them up and put them in a bowl, then pick one for every time you hit a goal?

Ex for me,

199 haircut and color
190 gym membership/new fitness tracker/weight set (or whatever you want?)
180 new bag or jewelry item
170 new tattoo or get family portrait taken
160 Cruise!

How about a spa day? Get a massage or facial!

Maybe now's a good time to think about what you might have been unable to do at a heavier weight. For an upcoming milestone I plan to go horseback riding. On my last milestone I did a float pod. It was something frivolous I wanted to try but didn't want to spend the money on. To me, that makes it a reward. Clothes are something I'm going to buy at some point regardless. The first milestone I hit was just logging for 90 days in a row. I bought a puzzle ring on etsy. Again, just something I wanted but it wasn't needed so I wouldn't normally buy.
