When I get to the end, it'll be a tattoo that says " Make Your Own Luck" with a shamrock.0

I'm sure I will treat myself to something at some point, but for now fitness and compliments are their own reward.0

Also, tattoos. I've always had some that I wanted to get, but never while I'm obese. I don't want my body to change so much that it screws up whatever ink I get.0

Another idea is reward yourself for developing healthy habits in the long term. for instance whenever I reach another 50 days of logging on MFP I reward myself with a book, clothing, or buy myself some flowers. I also am thinking about bigger rewards for years living healthy. When I get closer to goal I know the weight loss will slow down so this way I have a positive reinforcement to sick to healthy habits. I also plan to do this when I reach maintenance. I really feel like the last few times where I lost weight but then quit and gained it back was because I got too fustrated the scale wasn't moving. I lost track of the importance of developing a healthy lifestyle, I hope this time my rewards will keep me focused. Only time will tell for sure0

20 lbs - Nerd Fitness Hat
30 lbs - Indoor Paintball Session
40 lbs - Nerd Fitness Shirt
50 lbs - Bottle Of Scotch (Up To $100)
60 lbs - Round of Golf At A Nice Course (Up to $150)
70 lbs - Pair Of Converse Chuck II Shoes
80 lbs - Tattoo (Up to $250)
I haven't figured out if I'm doing a 10 lb one yet or not. I've lost 10 lbs a bunch of times and then gone immediately back to eating like crap so I kind of want to make my first big goal 20 lbs so that I might feel like I've gone too far to go back.
I also was very adamant about making these rewards non-food related. In the past I've set my rewards as "dinner @ _____________" or something along those lines. Other than the scotch (which has never been a problem for me) I made sure everything I was rewarding myself with is something that will motivate me either through a cool experience or something I wouldn't normally buy.
Well ... maybe the Nerd Fitness Hat
