Rewards Make It All Worth It

I'm back on a weight loss plan and this time for good. I finally got it through my head that some changes in life have to be permanent. That includes my health. But I need a vision. I've been trying to come up with a good motivator. Something that I could really look forward to and look back on the whole journey and say "wow, I did it!". A "reward" of some kind to give to myself once I have reached my goal. And I don't mean finally being able to fit into a size 8 dress. I mean something like throwing a party or going on a vacation. Can someone share a great reward they gave themselves or plan to after losing a significant amount of weight?

I know exactly what you mean, and totally agree that I need the same! A lot of people have said 'oh you'll look nice for holiday next year' but that's not the point, it needs to be something you can do spontaneously, like only go on holiday once you've got to your goal weight. If you have any ideas, let me know! x

I live in Northern Ireland, and I used a trip to Australia as a motivator/reward. I was "only" about 28lbs down by then, but I felt amazing and I had the best time

I reward myself with good health. The number on the scale and the feeling of accomplishment are enough for me.

It seems we are out of town alot and do atleast 1 big vacation each year so I didn't want that. I am a clothes fanatic and love style~! So my reward that my sweet hubby is giving me is..... a huge shopping spree!! I've been dying for some Missme Jeans and a Bling Hide belt and I don't want those things at this size. That may not be enough to spur some people, but I love clothes!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to hit my goal so I can hit the stores!!!!!!!!!!
