How do you reward yourself?

It depends on your checkbook and what you like. I have a friend who donates $1 per pound lost to charity every 25 lbs. A lot of people seem to do mani/pedis. Me personally, a great reward for me is an afternoon to myself, taking a long, hot, silent bubble bath. I try to reward myself every 20 lbs or so, but it doesn't always work that way. For me, the #1 reward is the weight loss itself.
I picked up a 25 lb bag of sidewalk salt the other day, and was amazed thinking that I used to carry two of these around with me all the time! Feeling better, having more energy, and not hating myself so much are great rewards!0 -
Working on my "rewards" as well! Lots of great ideas!
All I know is, my boyfriend told me HE'D taking me on a shopping outing to replace my too big wardrobe when I hit goal. LOVE HIM!0 -

Hey Audra!! I know that after everything happened with my dad and such, I totally strayed. I am ready to get back on track, but now, I need some incentive. i am sure you know what I mean.0 -
I also am one that needs a visual reminder not to eat so I am currently wearing like 10 friendship bracelets on my arm (which I HATE!) so I also get to take one off each 5lbs until I am at my final goal (then they will all be off). I find the bracelets work for me because each time I reach to open the fridge/get something out of the cupboard I see them and it reminds me to be good.
This is a really cool idea!
Ditto!! VERY Cool!!!!0 -
I don't. Having lost 80 lbs *is* a reward.
Congratulations to you! 80 lbs!!!0 -
Meeting the goal is reward enough for me LOL. I know I'm boring. I guess I could say I reward myself with clothes.0

Girl!!! After I lost the weight loss challenge at work I have definately felt defeated...But June(my b-day) is just around the corner and I wanna make my 27 look good0 -
I have my mini goals in my siggy but no formal reward system. My reward is being able to fit in the clothes I love already in my closet.0

I don't reward myself for every five pounds. But I do give myself two treats each week. One breakfast treat and one dinner treat... but never on the same day.
For mini goals that I set I am not sure what I plan to do. I really want to do something nice like buy a peice of real jewelry or get a massage. I am still deciding on that.0 -
