How do you Reward yourself?

I started thinking about this recently and I have no clue how to treat myself for losing weight! I thought that maybe every 5 lbs I could do something for myself but I was wondering what everyone else does for themselves as a reward!

    I reward myself with new workout clothes when mine become too big!

    I have a motivation jar. After each workout, I put £1 in the jar. When I reach 40 workouts, I buy myself something to indulge on my hobbies. I try not to set the marker too low or the jar won't fill up enough to act as a motivation :)

    I'm planning to reward myself with laser hair removal once I hit the 50 pounds loss. 27 more to go.

    If you look like your picture surely that is reward enough?
    If that is where you are aiming I treat myself to little beauty treatments, a spray tan here, a manicure there, eyelashes done etc.
    I used to reward with yummy food, ha ha.
    Good luck and keep it up

    Same here. I used to reward myself by going to a restaurant... Loss 40 pounds that way... Gained 60 back.

    Every 10lbs I get to buy something fun. Like my last one was a copper pepper grinder I've been wanting. If I ever make i I'm going to buy something for the big weights like a tattoo if I ever reach 100lbs lost.

    This gives me lots of ideas! I think that once I reach my ultimate goal weight/size I can get my tattoo! But until then I'll reward myself with new clothes or something like that!
