How do you reward yourself?

When you've lost a few pounds or reach a goal weight, do you reward yourself and how?

I'm thinking new clothes would be a good reward but I must be honest and say I sneak an extra piece of chocolate or a cookie sometimes...:blushing:

So, what do you do?

    I finally get to buy new clothes. I have only bought three pairs of jeans a size smaller than when I started, but I refuse to buy any more until I am at my goal weight, They are too big now and so it is driving me crazy! its good motivation to continue to work out,.

    Rewards should never be food. If you feel like a piece of chocolate or a cookie,have it (if your calories allow it) . The key is not to deprive or limit yourself in what you can eat. If you start to limit or omit your going to feel like you are "on a diet" not making a lifestyle change.
    With that said
    My reward when I get to first goal is new running shoes :)

    I'm gonna buy buy self new clothes when I reach my final goal. I have bought new shoes with each month of weight loss. I do not use food, only because, I still eat chocolate and cookies (only in moderation... I can't finish up a sleeve of Girls scouts thin mints :embarassed: I keep it at 2 cookies)

    I just got a pandora charm bracelet for my birthday last month and 2 charms. It will take awhile to fill it up so I've decided to reward myself with a new charm every 20 lbs I Iose. I've got lots to lose so I'm looking forward to my new charms!
