Need Bribing

Turns out I'm a greedy person and need some sorta bribe to get myself to lose weight. Only it's not sooo greedy, the first thing that made me lose weight was for my wedding almost a year ago, then I gained weight after that, then I lost weight for a boudoiur shoot for my hubby's anniversary present recently, and now I'm on track to gain more weight already! I need help for something to look forward to in order to lose weight (and a long healthy life isn't cutting it for some reason) Can anyone throw me some suggestions?

    Every 5 pounds lost = hot fudge sundae

    Not sure what your situation is, but maybe planning a trip for the spring that would require a bathing suit? Or food motivation? I weigh in once a month and if I weigh in and have a loss, then I can have my one most favorite and forbidden treat. You could buy a dress now and plan a really nice dinner and some sort of show that you'll wear it to in the future to motivate you to make sure that dress still fits when the event arrives?

    Spa day. Ahhhhhhhhh.... :-) I wish we had the extra money for treating me. I'm going to sell the van if I have to when I get down to my goal weight and will need new clothes.

    Surely, you're the only one who can say what you'd like?

    I'm trying to motivate myself with a new dress that I know will be very useful but is slightly expensive. Sadly, it's not working very well.
