How will you reward yourself when you meet goal weight?

I was just wondering what everyone is planning to do for themselves when they reach their goal. I am planning to buy some new clothes, of course. But I have carried myself this far by promising to buy myself a new designer handbag. I have spent many happy hours on Pinterest, Macy's and Nordstrom's websites dreaming of this handbag...decisions, decisions!!! Kooba, Linea Pelle, Dooney, Micheal Kors? Hmm.... :love:

    That's an interesting idea. I hadn't thought of rewarding myself when I reach my goal weight. Now I have to think about what I'm going to do...hmmm.

    Well am not sure what I will do....prob set another goal as I still need to loose more...this current goal is pretty major... I know that if I loose another 4lbs by easter I will be getting a nice easter egg...yummy...ok its full of cals (the one I want anyway) but that will be 42lbs lost so have to get something......

    Going home.

    It's been many years since I've sat on the south shores of New Providence Island.
  • Shopping Spree! Buying my first bikini in time for the summer is something I look forward to as well!

    I think it is important to give yourself little nonfood rewards along the way too. Say every 10-15 lbs. I made it into the 140s today, so a little bottle of perfume may be coming my way...or a new pair of cute running shoes. :wink:

    I am a teacher, so I don't have a very big budget for clothes/ extras, but I think it is an important step to acknowlege how far you have come.
  • I will reward myself not only by buying new clothes but by buying different clothes! For so long I have been choosing clothes that cover a multitude of sins, I would like to be able to wear things that fit my figure and look good. I am looking forward to a few weeks in the South of France in the Summer and I would like to be able to wear strappy summer dresses and tops instead of large tee shirts! :smile:

    <<<< Buy some new swim shorts!
    And then wear them on the beach without getting harpooned by fishermen.

    Skydiving...I have wanted to for years but would never do it at this weight. So that is my reward for when I reach my goal. I just hope I don't die in the process....wouldn't that be awful to lose the weight and then die after LOL

    Well aside from just look fabulous! I will be buying some more shoes! Also I will be doing the Disney Half marathon next year and will be on a cruise right after and that is my goal reward!

    If I had a place to put it, I'd buy a heavy bag to go with my boxing gloves. BAM!

    But since I don't, I will most likely finally get a weight bench and barbell set so I can start lifting like a real bada$$.

    New clothes. That's plenty!
  • Finally wear shorts, a tank top, and maybe even go to the beach or a water park with my fiance. I hate showing skin in public, and beaches and water parks have always been a fear (I hate being seen in a bathing suit).

    Ohhh a cruise too, that sounds nice! Maybe even a 2 week trip to Europe, I've always wanted to go. I could try saving $5-20 per pound lost and by the time I reach 114 I should have $570-2,280 saved up for a trip. That probably won't go far in Europe but it's enough for a down payment or a nice cruise.

    My goal is to lose between 100 and 125 pounds so I will have no choice but to buy or make an entire new wardrobe. I also want to go to a salon and have the works with a new makeover with cut and hair style, facial, manicure, pedicure and massage. Afterwards get professional pictures. They have a spa in town that does just that. They are suppose to make you look like a model when you are done.
  • New dress and shoes!

    Well, I did meet my goal weight. I treated myself to a 90 minute massage and then went and got a membership at Massage Envy. Now, I treat myself to a massage every month as a reward/being good to myself for maintaining.

    2 cute dresses i have seen that i want for this summer but they will be for before my goal weight, that will take a bit longer.

    I want to go to a local burlesque shop and buy an outfit to surprise my hubby with when he gets home from work the day i hit my target


    then he can do the rest ;)

    I'm buying myself a new bathing suit. A nice one, not a cheepo Walmart suit, one that I fits well and I'll be proud to wear ♥
