Rewards

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I wonder what I'll do to reward myself for weight lose, so, when I came across this article, I thought of posting for all to see:

REWARD ROSTER - CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITES AND USE THEM LIBERALLY

* Compliment yourself. Write down what you would say to anyone else who accomplished what you
did.
* Create an actual plaque or trophy.
* Give yourself badges of honor for different levels of accomplishment.
* Take a vacation or weekend getaway.
* Take a day off from any goal activities.
* Put $1 in a jar every time you meet a goal. When it gets to $50, treat yourself.
* Create a Trophy Scrapbook, where you keep mementos from your accomplishments.
* See a movie.
* Make a grab bag of little prizes. When you reach a significant goal, reach in and get your reward!
* Go for a spa treatment or massage.
* Buy yourself a gift certificate.
* Take a limo ride.
* Subscribe to a magazine you always wanted.
* Go canoeing or do something outdoorsy.
* Watch your favorite TV show.
* Buy something for your hobby.
* Read a funny book.
* Celebrate "100% Days". If you reach 100% of your goals that day, choose two rewards.
* Find some time to be by yourself.
* Pay someone to do the yardwork or house cleaning this week.
* Fly a kite.

Remember to reward yourself for the small goals too - not just the large ones :happy:
Also, rewards for consistency also help - so you've not lost any weight for ex amounts of weeks, but... you've not gained and you've continued looking after yourself :drinker:
Good luck, hope someone finds this useful :flowerforyou:

I find rewards to be helpful!

I used to do it pound by pound, but then I got "scale crazy" so now I'm doing it at a rate of one reward for every 5 workouts (45 min or longer) and every 5 days of being at or under my calories. Mine range from getting highlights to a massage, to a manicure & pedicure, to booking a babysitter for a night out.

I think this is worth trying!
