How do you reward yourself?
Replies

I find that losing weight is its own reward. I guess I reward myself by breathing deeply and looking better in my clothes.0
-
The feeling of confidence when topless is the reward I guess0
-
I bought two chocolate bars from Full Circle Exchange and I will reward myself with a piece of chocolate (not the whole bar) every 10 pounds I lose.
Oh. And I just bought myself a fancy elliptical, so I guess that would be a reward too!0 -
I don't. I guess just knowing I look better is enough for me.0
-
My reward is to look in the mirror and see all the gains. Also have the satisfaction of knowing my hours lifting and logging is paying off.0

It has been lots of rewards for me along the way. Mostly learning to accept compliments from others about how nice I'm looking. Next , there has been some jewelry, lots of new clothes, new hair cut & style, best of all way getting a tummy tuck to remove 25 lbs od hanging fat. ( I know it's gross to me too ) but now I have a totally flat tummy!!0

At the end of every week, if I've met all my exercise goals, I do a at-home spa day. I turn on some relaxing music on Pandora, epilate and wax, take a hot salt and milk bath, do a deep conditioning treatment on my hair, and a mud mask on my face and body, trim my hair if needed, and give myself a mani/pedi. I feel like a million bucks afterwards, but I make all my own things, it's really cheap. Definitely a reward that leaves me ready for the next week of working out!0

I'm buying a new bikini from VS today. I am so excited to spend this summer feeling confident instead of trying to cover something up.
New clothes, pedicures, massages are my favorite rewards
I try not to do food rewards but every so often I give myself a treat after an INTENSE workout.0 -
There is no reward... I kind of don't' understand this concept to be perfectly honest.
I don't deny myself when I'm doing things- the only time I go nuts is at the end of a heavy cut/prep phase- but it's not a reward to me for doing a good job. It's just "jesus I'm finally done with that- now I can go eat!!!"
If I need new stuff or see stuff I like it- then I buy it.
I don't reward myself for being me- that just... I dunno. doesn't make sense.0 -
A new tattoo haha0

I do the same, I have a scale:
10lbs: hairdresser appt
15 lbs: mani-pedi
20 lbs: facial
25 lbs: massage
I love love love this idea! I am so close to a massage i can taste it! haha0 -
New workout clothes, always form-fitting so I don't let myself wear something baggy (which would essentially mean I could slack -- gotta stay trim for my workout gear), new summer clothes once we get closer.... daily dark chocolate or other chocolate. TEA. I stress the importance of not totally depriving.0

Hi
I go to my weight watchers meeting on a Saturday morning and if I have lost a pound or more that week then i head straight to wholefoods (next door) and buy myself a fresh bunch of flowers!0 -
For milestones, I treat myself to something adorable (and not too expensive!) on etsy. Like handmade jewelry, a framed print, or a scarf. I try to pick something that carries a little secret inspirational or "victory" message to myself. The last reward was a little bronze kit (a young fox) pendant because I was feeling a little foxy... (totally cheesy, I know...) but it makes me smile every time I wear it.0

At first I didn't believe in rewarding myself for doing what I should: Eat healthy. But....this has really been a struggle for me. So I thought maybe a reward list would possibly help me stay motivated...Here's my list:
Subway Gift Card
Hair cut
new swim suit
hair color
new shoes
new work out clothes
new wedding ring (I'm already wearing it on my middle finger so I don't lose it)
I thought that every 10 lbs seemed reasonable. Then I thought I shouldn't do all that for myself, so I gave my list to my husband...lol...He readily agreed to this list. I was shocked. He asks me every morning what my weight was (if I don't tell him first). So I guess I don't really reward myself...but kinda...lol0 -
A second glass of wine. New running shoes.0
-
Makeup
Hula Hoops and other props
Allow myself to go to the fabric store and make something awesome for myself. When i reach goal weight i already have a pattern and fabric picked out for a pinup style dress0 -
At ten pounds lost I bought new workout clothes - more form fitting. Keeps me motivated, haha. I guess when they begin to loosen I'll do the same. Years ago I lost about 40 pounds and I put aside $10 for every pound. When I reached my goal I went shopping and didn't need to worry about where the money would come from. That was nice.0

That's a great idea.... as long as you can stick with it.
But that's definitely a great plan. I didn't realize with what happened to me how expensive re-shopping would be!! it's definitely a pain.0 -
Knowing I look/feel better. I also reward myself with piercings & tattoos since I love them a lot0
