Ideas for non-food rewards for losing weight?

I'm hopeless at rewarding myself.
I meant to do a 20 kilo reward, then I meant to do a 25 kilo goal but when I get there, I just think "nope, not thin enough yet, just keep going". Now I'm approaching my 30 kilo goal (66 pounds) and I have a sneaking suspicion I won't reward myself then either.

Looking at yourself in the mirror.
Looking at the lower reading on your scale.

My first goal of getting under 250lbs will be rewarded with a jump out of an airplane
When I get under 200lbs, I'm buying new rock climbing gear.
When I make it to my goal weight I get three things - shopping in Europe, a "tramp stamp", and I get a wife (well, I'll get her anyway, but I should be pretty damn close to my goal when she slips that ring on my finger)0 -

NICE!0 -
it's massage for me. But once I hit my ultimate goal, I'm thinking of having my hair permed.0

When I reached my goal I bought myself a heart rate monitor0

Once I hit 199 (which is 9 pounds away) I plan on getting my nose pierced for the 3rd and final time.
I'm not sure about other rewards, but I know I want to reward myself for working my butt off and changing my life because of diabetes and recovering from an eating disorder. I chose life, that's a reason to celebrate. I'm battling disease and mental illness I think I deserve something small for that. :P
I don't know what I'm going to do once I hit my goal weight. Especially since I'm not sure what it is anymore. 160, 150, or 130. I'm thinking though, that I may finish off my sleeves.0 -
I buy myself new athletic clothing!0

I've bought a Trollbeads leather bracelet and treat myself to new charms for my minor goals and my husband has bought me an Osorey clutch for my GW.0

I started with little rewards, new makeup, underwear etc, then I bought a Bodymedia Fit at 50lbs lost and at Onederland I went to a Mötley Crüe concert. Next goal is reaching a healthy BMI: I'm probably going to buy some fluorescent Nikes. Then at goal, I'm going to have a Biggest Loser style makeover: hair, nails, clothes, photoshoot. Can't wait. :happy:0

Massage is a great one! Another way to make yourself feel awesome without food. May even make you feel better than a cheat meal would!
Or you could plan a day out like an activity day or something0 -
Lots of nice clothing and shoes
Diet drinks
Playing video games0 -
Dinner with friends to show off your achievements. Underwear0

That is a great Idea.
Well what i will try to do is buy a piece of clothes that a 1 size smaller so once i reach my goal i can wear it
P.S. chose something that you really REALLY want to wear.0 -
I've always said I want my belly button pierced, with only 6lbs to go I'm getting scared!!
I also treated myself to a couple of bikinis to wear on our winter sun holiday, I've not worn a bikini in over 20 yrs!!0 -
I use to hate shopping for clothes now it's my favorite thing to do. When I reach my goal I want a pair of Harley Davidson jeans, yes I ride my own motorcycle. Along the way to that I have treated my self to new clothes including, yikes, workout tights. I also bought nail polish and a microdermabrasion system. A new purse and lots of shoes, lol. I feel better even pretty and want the world to see it. Next year maybe even an expensive bathing suit. Treats help keep me motivated.0

Open a separate savings account. Put £5 in for every pound you lose. Then when you hit your goal... SPEND. :-D0

I've been doing non-food rewards at every 10 pounds I lost. I started out buying all health related items, HRM, new bathroom scales, new kitchen scales, new walking shoes, new cookbooks, then I progressed onto luxuries. It's a wonderful way to help motivate yourself.0

I agree- mani/pedis!
Put something you really like in a shopping cart at an online store. Click "buy" when you hit your goal0 -
I think a boxing bag would be a fun reward0

These are all great ideas! When I hit 20 lbs lost, I'm getting a pedicure!0
