Rewards After Goal Reached

I got myself the samsung 3 when i got under 300lbs. When I hit my final goal I am going to look for a boat lol

I told myself that I can only buy a new pair of jeans when I go down a size. Right now I have 3 pairs that I am constantly washing and rotating, especially now that it's getting colder and I can't really wear shorts anymore. I'm going to stick with it though because it just gives me that much more motivation to lose the weight, and more importantly the inches.

I haven't really thought about when I reach my final goal. I think I'll probably just continue to set little goals and rewards for myself and see what happens when I get closer to the end.

Any tangible rewards are side notes to just the psychological vindication I will feel to know I am at the exact weight I was when a certain person started telling me I was overweight and now I know I am SO not anywhere near overweight at that weight but smack dab in the middle of the healthy range. Even if this person never knows it and probably doesn't even remember or would claim not to if I ever brought it up (long history of denial of uncomfortable truths there), I will know it every time I see them and find it mentally satisfying to have made them eat their words...because by the time I get back there, their story about me needing to lose weight will have completely changed tune even if they don't remember the original taunt. It will be completely fake and shallow.....but nonetheless, this person will have some major word munchin' to do. I'm going to take with a grain of salt and move on with my life because I am not doing this for them or anyone else -- just me and my knee issues. That's it....but still it's a rather satisfying side benefit.

I give myself a reward for every 10 lbs lost! I'm a real miser when it comes to my money, so I chose little things that I've really been wanting but would never buy for myself normally. Things like a new pair of shoes, a movie poster, a hoodie, and one of those huuuuge poster prints that Staples does (I'm a photographer). And of course, the ultimate reward for reaching my final goal: clothes, clothes, and more clothes! Seriously, I can't wait.

Edit: Oh, and if I ever get to the point where I can see my hipbones, I'm going to get a tattoo on/near them in celebration. But one of those white tattoos, so if it gets all wonky with age, no one will see it. xD

The goal is the reward.

I think the reward was the moment I went to buy some new jeans, and the size down from the pair I was wearing was loose. So I reluctantly asked for yet another size smaller. I kind of expected they would get half way up my legs and be too small. But they didn't. They actually fit. I was standing there wearing a little pair of size 5 jeans with tears in my eyes. Nothing could beat that moment

In 3 pounds, I'll be passing from Obesity Class 3 to Obesity Class 2, so I'll reward myself with this wonderful t-shirt. I'll take it 2XL so I'll have to work a little more to wear it!

At 299 lbs, I'll reward myself with my first iPod ever... a classic 160gb.

I weighed myself this week for the first time since I started my quest, and found that I had succeeded in dropping 15lbs.

So yesterday I spent $20 on tea (it was buy one get one free!)

When I reach a certain size(skipped weight goals now..those suck) I'm getting my tattoo! I keep going back and forth about not waiting..so who knows..I might just say screw it..and do it and pretend its for my last goal I reached..
