Okay so before when I did something great in my life or any of my friends and family did we would....go out to eat, or have cakes, or pretty much eat eat eat lol Well the first thing I thought after my weigh in today was ...OMFG I can believe it, then holy hell I am going to celebrate. First thing popped in mind was going out to eat lol Just curious as to what some of you veterans do when you want to celebrate things in your lives. I am trying to replace old bad habits with new ones. Mind you I am kinda broke atm so free ones first along with not free so I can use in the future.

victory lap around the block? lol0

Pack a healthy picnic and have an enjoyable eating experience with a friend or significant other that doesn't involve going overboard on the cals? Or a sushi night with the girls? You can still celebrate with food, just make good lifestyle choices about the kind of food you celebrate with!0

Hmm. Well it depends on what you like! You could celebrate by doing a little dance, blasting some music and going to town. Window shop to find things to reward yourself with for meeting larger goals (I have ones planned for every 30 lbs gone)...it all depends on what you like! Not free ones - concert tickets, new CD, DVD, book, shoes (you'll go through them faster exercising! lol). Congrats to you on that first week loss!0
-
Theatre or cinema and a glass of wine afterwards?
Some kind of a work shop?
Massage, manicure, pedicure? spa?
I really like going for a manipedi with a friend to catch up. It's so relaxing and gives plenty of time to chat.0 -
Its a great feeling to have a loss show, eh?
My celebration would be updating my stats on MFP so my ticker updates a message goes out to my friends list. Once they see the loss I get lots of positive comments. I love reading those and it keeps me going!
I don't reward myself with food often (if ever) but sometimes may buy a coffee (an Americano, not a latte) if I feel like I'd like a small reward.
An Americano has very little calories and tastes great with a splash of milk/low-fat cream and I always enjoy it while walking

Take a picture, start a weight loss scrapbook to show your progress!0

I buy meself something new in a smaller size or new things to help me in my fitness journey, like a new sport bottle, a new fitness app, or new fitness equipment, new running shoes.....anything BUT FOOD!!!! :flowerforyou:0

Pick a healthy food that you don't have as often. For me, when I hit mini goals, I get some fresh cherries or raspberries. I don't normally buy these, because they are rather expensive per pound.0

I know what you mean by celebrating with food. My mom and I were weight watchers regulars. We would weigh in each week, then go celebrate our success by the biggest meal we could stuff down our bellies. No wonder WW never worked for us. :laugh:
I am on a budget also, so each of my purchases are $10 or less, and I usually do something once a month. However, I try to treat myself weekly, by painting my toenails, giving myself a facial, something that I can do at home without spending extra money. It helps me feel pretty after working so hard, and keeps my spirits up.
Now, when I have a big success I try to do something that will progress me toward my goals. A few times, I took a long walk by myself instead of chasing the kids the whole time. When I finished one work out DVD, my hubby helped me pick a new one. I upgraded my weight set to real weights instead of soup cans.0 -
I give myself extra "me" time as rewards. Like I get to ready for an extra hour during the week or I can watch a movie.0
-
I like to buy myself something new like clothes, a book, etc or spend time at a park with friends, thats my fav!!!0
-
my favorite reward is always shopping...whether it be for new workout gear, workout shoes, or shoes and clothes...0
-
Shopping for clothes or a new purse even some earrings and congrats on your weightloss keep it up0

Humans have been celebrating with food since the dawn of time. There's nothing wrong with it. Don't feel guilty about eating.0
-
Spa day? or buy yourself something nice?0
-
I resisted chocolate cupcakes all weekend and stuck to my eating plan. I treated myself to an issue of Clean Eating magazine. If that type of small reward isn't in your budget, maybe treat yourself to a couple of hours at your local library reading magazines, a nice long bubble bath, painting your nails a pretty color, a "spa" day at home (you can make lots of masks and the like with kitchen ingredients or even buy a sample size at the store), or even treat yourself to a workout class you've never tried.0

Food is NOT a celebration I dont care if it has been celebrated since the dinosaurs walked the earth. Food is a means to sustain life so you do not keel over and die. Sorry guys but my claws just came out reading this comment....so turn you eyes away I am going to get loud and crude.....
It is this kind of thinking that got me fat. I celebrated a little too much with food and totally abused it by intaking when I didnt need it or intaking things that werent good for me and worked with my body instead of against. How dare you make such a stupid comment using the excuse of ppl's actions that were so clearly wrong. Maybe you meant it in a different way IDK all I do know is how I read it and comprehended it and it is F'n BS. I NEVER feel guilty now when I eat my meals and if you ever do then you arent eating right but to say dont feel guilty...pfft.....I will refrain from name calling but I am sure you know what I am thinking...FFS do it because it has always been done and dont feel guilty HA!
Okay I am done so sorry but that really just rubbed me wrong in so many ways lol You can uncover your eyes its done and over and I am back to pleasant lol0 -
Here are some of my "way to go you" rewards:
massage
mani
pedi
books
shoes
purse
wallet
workshops
work out clothes
new piece of equiptment
a new ____ (whatever you collect)0 -
Humans have been celebrating with food since the dawn of time. There's nothing wrong with it. Don't feel guilty about eating.
I strongly disagree with this statement, as did the clinic that I went to for help with my mental issues surrounding eating. Celebrating with food (and self medicating with food, drowning my sorrows with food, curing boredom with food etc) is what caused me, and a lot of people who are emtional eaters, to get where they are, which is an unhealthy place. Emotional eating isn't just for people who are sad, it covers all spectrums of emotions, including happy occasions.
Food is a big part of culture and certain celebrations but that isn't to say those focuses should be the food and they should generally be about the company being kept. Not to mention, this isn't a holiday the poster is talking about, this is an accomplishment for changing her lifestyle, one of which previously included too much food.
And that's just me weighing in with my .02.
edited after reading a previous commenter: I do agree that food shouldn't make you feel guilty though. It shouldn't evoke any sort of DEEP emotion in you that would alter your day in anyway (example, eating a slice of cake and then beating yourself up all day). It is just a way to stay alive and a means of getting nutrients into your body.0 -

So, if I understand you correctly, because YOU personally don't have self control, and because something caused YOU distress, then it should be banned for everyone?
I for one didn't' get fat because I "celebrated" too much, I got fat because I enjoyed eat a box of mac and cheese instead of a serving. I got fat because as a kid I would sneak cookies while my mom was watching tv. I got fat because I ate more than I moved, and I didn't really care.
How dare you assume that because you had problems with "celebrations" that I should feel as though celebration with food is a bad thing! If the OP, or another poster, or Big Foot wants to drop a 500 lb deer carcass on the kitchen table and go at it like a swarm of crazed Justin Beiber fans, then that's their personal choice. You have your opinion and they have theirs.
IF you don't celebrate with food, GREAT!!! That's good for YOU!!! However, on the same note, don't try to tell me I can't go have a pizza with some friend to celebrate something, even reaching some weightloss goal.
I do, I have, and I ALWAYS will celebrate the victories in my life, and almost all the time, there is some sort of food involved in the celebration...whether it be cake, or buffet, or pizza, or a pack of twizzlers I grabbed for my road trip.
OP...do what you feel is best for you. Do what you feel is going to make you happier and keep you focused on your goal. If you choose to go without something until you drop 5 or 10 lbs, then treat yourself to whatever it was you set up as a goal. You deserve it.
Ok...now I'm going to go back to my normal grouchy monday morning usual person. You can open your eyes now.0 -
Depends on the accomplishment, if its a 'small' victory, or a goal I set I've hit.
Some days it's a rest day, some days it's a food 'treat' but if its s treat, say my favorite ice cream place, I walk/run some of the 30 plus miles to where it is, and account for it in my daily plan. Mani/pedis are on tap for me now, I just won a weight loss challenge, as the smallest participant, with pounds being counted, not percentage! Extra time for me, a book, cup of tea/coffee, even an afternoon picnic at the park with the kids, forgetting all the 'important' things needing to be done at home.
T he biggest thing I comsistenyly reward myself with, improved health. Sounds placating, but I am striving to set an example for my kids, and improve me, and I am in a fierce competition with myself, because I have set a goal to run a half marathon, and look awesome on the beach this summer with my kids.
I also always have a mini, unspoken competition with someone, I route them on, cheer their losses, and use their loses to push me, becaus I want to lose more than them!!! Even if they don't know it!0 -

I stated that kind of thinking got me where I am today. Not feeling guilty about eating and so forth. I never said anything about ppl eating way too much every meal nor did I tell them what they should and shouldnt eat. I clearly said that CELEBRATION eating is BS and it is comments like that that I fed into that made it okay for me not to feel guilty when I ate all the crap that contributed to my fatness. You ate boxes of mac and cheese to get fat GFY but has NOTHING to do with the topic of celebrating by eating and what train of thought it misleads ppl to consider okay and not okay. And for the record I never said I had problems with it I said I am trying to find better ways to celebrate than the old bad habit ways of eating. No one said you cant go have pizza so plz feel free to find the closest pizza hut and stuff you face and reread my post. Just because you choose to stuff your face as a reward for losing weight which is absolutely ridiculous if you think about it lol..........thats fine by me I could care less I just wanted BETTER options than the one you are choosing and the ones I have chosen in the past. So with that being said ..yes ..take your grumpy *kitten* wherever you need to be doing whatever you need to be doing.0 -
If I know I'm going to be going out to celebrate something, I just make sure I bust my *kitten* at the gym that day and eat even better during the day. I plan my calories and exercise so I can splurge on that Belgian beer I like or a cupcake. If you deny yourself constantly, it's really hard to stick with it, so you just learn to balance it all. Good food is meant to be enjoyed, but we wouldn't be on here if we hadn't "over-enjoyed" a few too many times. It's hard to be out celebrating and turn things down, so adjust your day or week so that you don't mess up all your hard work for it.
Or buy stuff, or plan to buy stuff when you have the money and your weight loss warrants it. I have set it up so that I reward myself with an outfit from an online store I really can't afford but also haven't been able to fit into their clothes. In 50 pounds I will have saved up enough money to buy something and in the meantime, I look through the site and start thinking about what I will buy.0 -
It is great you are losing and want to celebrate! Instead of celebrating with food, why don't you take the money you would have spent on that meal and go buy something with it? Or maybe you should get a jar and put that money in it and continue to add (the money you would have spent on junk food) each time you hit a goal. Then once you are at your idea weight, see how much money you have and then go shopping. Just a thought....0

Apparently, you are more grumpy than I am. Tell you what, let's go ahead and resort to the 3rd grade and start calling each other names. Let's see...you started with calling me an idiot, so I guess it's my turn so..you are a poopy-head. That's how this works, right?
I read your post, both of them, and you seem like a very angry and bitter person. If I have a choice of being happy and celebrating with food or being a bitter person such as yourself, I'll go ahead and stuff my face at Pizza Hut. In case you haven't noticed, it seems to be working for me.
I am not afraid of food! The shock and horror you must be feeling right now I can only imagine. But wait!! There's more!! FOOD IS NOT THE ENEMY!!!
Celebrating with food IS normal, people do it all the time. Healthy people do it. Unhealthy people do it! The world does it!! ALL cultures do it!!!
It's not the foods fault. I can celebrate with food because I KNOW FOR A FACT that a celebratory meal once in a while is not going to kill me, derail me, stop me, throw me under the bus, or make me an idiot.
Now, celebrating for every .5 lbs lost may be a bit excessive, but a cupcake or an ice cream at 5 lbs isn't that big of a deal. Or even a day without logging food won't kill anyone.
Chinese buffet at 10lbs lost...I've done it! I'm still here. I'm still losing.
So call me an idiot, do what you want. But for me, I'm gonna have a slice of pizza this afternoon in your honor!0 -

Knucklehead, dull AND stupid all in the same post. I'm honored!!
Anything else? I mean I am stupid and dull. I need you to be my guide. Direct me. PLEASE PLEASE!!! Tell me, oh wise and great one, how to succeed in my journey. I'm too stupid to go on by myself. I'm too much of a knucklehead to not have your guidance.
Excuse me for a moment while I go and put the $.85 I was going to spend on some Pop Tarts this morning in a jar, and then I'll return to see what wise and guiding words you have for me to follow!!
Oh and please, please, please add me as a friends so I can continue to follow your wise and genius advice!!0 -

WOW. I am thinking someone should consider getting their panties untwisted as a reward. Or perhaps a Xanax milkshake. The original quote here is a) absolutely 100% true, and b) absolutely not worth the Hulk sized rage that has ensued. Wendy 420 and cmcollins are merely pointing out that a reward can still be with food, just make better choices! Seriously, take a chill pill.
