    I never reward myself with food. There are already birthdays and holidays which offer more than ample opportunity to overeat.

    I like clothes and music. And a cruise this winter sounds good too. :)

    I take a photo and write my new weight on it. That never fails to make me feel amazing!

    Once I reach my goal weight though, I absolutely plan to go get my nipples pierced. That will be my ultimate reward; I've been wanting to do it FOREVER!

    I bought some size 34 jeans when they fit and I'll buy some 32s when they fit as well. Don't really need a reward aside from looking in the mirror and measuring my progress.

    PHOTO SHOOT! Seriously can't wait for the day when I like how I look in a photo that someone else takes of me. I'm a photographer and I know how a good photograph can boost someones self-esteem, especially one that hasn't been photoshopped.

    My next NSV I hope is to fit into my engagement dress again, and get a photo shoot done in it.

    clothes, piercings, tattoos, and makeup.
    I never reward with food...it seems counterproductive.

    I have lost 6.8 pounds since starting mfp about a couple of weeks ago. I haven't treated myself yet but when I get under 200 pounds I will be buying me some new and much needed jeans.

    That is fabulous!

    If I get to where I want to be, I've been eyeing this pretty dress at the mall for the Christmas party this year. Hoping to look fab...sorta getting there!

    I don't treat myself with food or clothes. Food treats have to fit into the calorie limit. New clothes are a necessity. I color my own hair and do my own nails.

    Here's how I think it through...I took on this full-time job because it was something I needed to do. I don't reward myself for getting up and going to work because it is expected, and I don't reward myself for losing weight as it is expected.

    The reward for me is losing the weight, finding my new forever size, and really living life to the fullest all day every day. I've been told my thinking is a bit skewed, that my goals are vision statements, and my deadlines are unreasonable. I have to say though, I think I've done my very best to try new things, and deliver great results.

    I get this from my father who was a teacher. He told me (I was in the third grade) that being satisfied with an A- when there was a bigger goal of A+ was selling yourself short. He said it's not a great leap or even a giant step from an A- to an A+, so get it done. I've kept my eye on that prize my entire life.
