What do you reward yourself with when hitting personal goals?

I started at 307 and didn't consider doing rewards until a thread here on MFP (which I discovered a lot later, around 260 lb). I started doing fitness related rewards for every 10 lb lost, but that quickly lost its luster for me because I do mostly walking, hiking, jogging, not a lot of fitness stuff. I got a fancy jump rope, basketball, and some workout clothes.

For 199 lb (which I hadn't seen since jr. high), I bought myself ALL new makeup including some "fancy" brands I hadn't tried before, and a lucite organizer to keep all of it in. I bought it about a month in advance and didn't allow myself to start using any of it until the day I hit 199, but actually I think I hit 198.4 so that was a little amusing. It was exciting though and I am very glad I rewarded myself that way!

Now that I've pretty much hit my goal range (160-175) and have been maintaining for the past several years, it's not really a thing for me. I do enjoy new challenges like running/jogging a 5k or hiking a more difficult trail with climbing involved (new interest) but I don't really do rewards for those things, either.

I tend to reward myself for professional accomplishments, although my career isn't terribly exciting or challenging so it's more like buying a nice handbag or great boots when I get my annual bonus...treating myself to a concert now & then and feeling zero guilt about it...stuff like that.

I'm 7 pounds below my original weight goal of 140 pounds, and I'm going this afternoon to get two new tattoos.

When I get in the 180’s I’m going to get my hair done. The ends are awful now and it needs colored really bad but in order to motivate myself, I’m forcing myself to wait. After that we are going on vacation in July where they have an outlet mall. If I get to the 170’s, I’m going to buy myself 2 outfits. I don’t really reward with food because if I want something and it fits in my calories, I usually just eat it.

Once I hit the 50 lb loss mark, I may treat myself to something...... new clothes or something. I have been buying new clothes with every 20 lb loss. Not a lot, as I am still losing. And some of my larger clothes still fit well. At this point, any shirts I buy will still fit when I hit my ultimate goal. They might just be a tad big.

But ultimately, it's the 60 lb mark that has my first big treat. Once I hit 155 lbs, I am getting my hair done. Some layers, lots of color, I'm excited! I have 15 more lbs to go for that one.
When I hit my ultimate goal, I'm thinking a Spa weekend. That will be at 140 lbs. I know it's only 15 lbs from the hair goal, but I know that last 15 lbs will be HELL to get off...... So it should be rewarded with Spa Weekend Fun.

So I set up a reward roster for every 10% that I lose. My first 10% is a pedicure, second is an hour massage, third is haircut with highlights and styling, fourth is buying a personal trainer for a month. 5th is a fancy date night with my husband where we go to an expensive restaurant and maybe a play of some sort. 6th is another massage and goal for me is a trip with my family to Orlando Florida. I had to think of things that are out of the norm for me to do so I actually view them As a reward otherwise they would not motivate me. I made this list when I was craving some crappy food and posted it to my fridge for a visual.
