Rewards for success- ideas

jlc1243

Anyone have anything they do to reward themselves for successes?

I was thinking of treating myself to a massage or a pedicaure or something, I just don't want to go broke in the process!

And I'd love to hear what people do to reward themselves for little victories along the way that don't necessarily "break the bank."

Thoughts?

My reward is fitting into clothes that used to be too small for me!

I didn't really do anything but "good job' for the first 30 pounds

At 30 pounds I had to buy new pants (old ones falling off)
At 40 pounds I had my friend highlight my hair (free or really cheap)
At 50 pounds I bought a new bathing suit(which is currently too big, YEA)
At 60 pounds I was suppose to get a massage....hasnt happened yet...life is busy
At 70 pounds I didn't do anything but "good job"
At 80 pounds I had to buy more clothes

I hit goal this past Sunday....kudos I guess!

Take a walk on the beach and look for the perfect rock to remember your day - maybe start a collection of stones representing your weight loss that you can display in a pretty bowl (only you will know what they represent.)

You will think of great things that fit you and your personality.

There are things that you buy to treat yourself, those are nice.

Nothing equals the glow I've felt since I got there and kept my weight where I always wanted it. That's your best reward, the inner peace that comes with control of diet and health, if you ask me

Sorry. Mine all involve spending money. It's on things I wanted anyway, and can afford, but wouldn't normally spend it on, because I'm thrifty like that So my reward is giving myself permission to indulge a little.

Maybe get siginificant other to give you a massage? Give yourself permission to do something fun & inexpensive that you wouldn't ordinarily?

I love this idea-in fact I might do that. For every 1lb lost I might get a pebble and for every stone (14lbs) I lose-I will find a bigger one and maybe make it glittery. I can have these in a vase as a visual reminder of how much I have achieved.

JUST WONDERFUL xx

Love these ideas. Thanks for sharing. And agree the success itself is its own reward.

I've bought myself some new clothes (more out of necessity). I have a Pandora bracelet and got a charm for getting halfway there and will get another one when I've reached my final goal. I also plan to take a new professional family portrait so I can have a really nice picture and be proud of how I look in it. And all along I've been buying myself new workout videos and exercise equipment as mini rewards.

I love the idea of a massage, though. I might have to add that to my list!
