What did you treat yourself too once you reached target weight?!

I got a bunch of my girlfriends together and we all got pedicures. Then we went shopping for sandals. It was a delightful day! And don't forget a margarita afterwards. My sister and I went shopping, and a new bra (wow, was I off on the proper size) and jeans in a size smaller than I thought I was after reaching goal. My sis said I still saw myself as larger, and having her give me feedback on good fit was really helpful.8

a whole bunch of nicer makeup (just Sephora stuff instead of drugstore) and a counter top organizer to keep it in. That was all for going under 200 lb (for the first time since age 16) - but then I didn't really do anything special for hitting my target weight...mostly just buying new clothes/underwear whenever, to ensure I am in clothes that fit. I travel a lot more now for business and for pleasure and I seem to find small rewards on trips for "maintaining".5

I promised myself one of my much loved takeaway foods, a 'Donner Kebab'. When I hit my target it happened to be a Friday which used to be my takeaway day before my lifestyle change, so I spent all day in anticipation of my long deprived treat. I got home, ordered my treat and patiently waited. Eventually it came and I devoured it with gusto, however I was left thinking that it wasn't as amazing as I remembered. To this day I have not ordered another takeaway and actually prefer eating the healthier options that I have become accustomed to of late.14

Oh great thread subject. 9 more pounds till my goal of 190 from starting at 272. I see these peanut butter Oreos every single week when we go grocery shopping and I have been saying for months and months now when I get to my goal weight I'm buying a box of those and eating about 10 of them.5

Trip to Vegas with lots of new sexy dresses.4

I hear you @Baz8755 . I was on a road trip with the OH, and we stopped at a motorway services for lunch. We went and bought a burger from a well know chain - we haven't had one in years. And you know what? It was rubbish. We won't be craving one of those again.

Hadn't really thought about it, tbh.
Realistically, comprehensive blood work/serum chemistry panels even if I have to pay out of pocket for it.2 -
Considering my goal is to lose at least 1/4 or my body weight, I'm just saving up for the 2 replacement wardrobes I'll need - the one at the halfway point and the one at the goal.
If I want to do something ridiculous, I may go attempt some eating competition type thing like the 5 pound burrito or the 3 foot pizza.2 -
My plan (in the making): If I loose 25 pounds before january 1st, I will book a two weeks Disney World trip in 2020! I will add a special extra paid experience for each subsequent 10 pounds until the trip (like a signature restaurant, a behind the scene tour, special seating for fireworks, etc.). If I loose a hundred pound, I will switch my tickets to an annual pass and go multiple times in the following year!
We had to deal with my husband cancer in the last few years and I want to get healthier AND treat ouselves, and we are big Disney World fan !12 -
My reward will be wearing my wedding rings again. I love diamonds but now my rings don’t fit, so getting them on and fitting properly will be a huge reward.
I just want to caution on using food as a reward. I think that me be ok for some people but most of us have bad relationships with food and have had to fight to break bad habits. Personally I feel that clothes, jewelry, spa time, or pretty much anything other than food would be great.9 -
I did not choose food for my reward - I chose a new wardrobe -175lbs. Lingerie and shoes that fit. Work, workout, and evening clothes.
Ironically, I already had earrings to match everything because earrings fit when necklaces and bracelets don’t, so I have always had pretty earrings.
After a year, it all still fits. I read everyone’s inspirational posts regularly and thank each of you.7 -

That's exactly what I did.0 -
My reward(s) are more "intangible" and dealing with "mind-sets" kinda...just a whole new way of living and thinking and trying new and different things in every area of my life now. Getting out of my self-imposed "prisons/boxes" of "I could never do (fill in the blank) or I don't like (fill in the blank) or I've always hated (fill in the blank) and just sorta throwing "caution" to the wind and just trying new stuff (like beets and various foods I've shunned all my life), trying different clothing styles, and even getting my hair cut super cute and short (I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to). Even getting rid of toxic people, places and things instead of going along to get long type of deal.

Living everyday as if it's my last, no longer holding grudges or nursing resentments/bitterness of any kind and accepting people, places and things for who/what they are and if they/it is not good for me or in any way crazy-making for me and the person, place or thing and visa versa...I SEE YA AND BYE and WISH YOU THE BEST, BUT I'M OUTTA HERE, PERIOD. Simply living and thinking a completely more simple and different way!2 -

I actually weighed in at a pound under my third, and probably final, goal yesterday.
I ordered a Vitamix blender as a reward.
Almond milk has been one of the foundations of my weight loss. (“Old Me” used to drink a couple of gallons of milk a week.). I make a lot of almond milk, and my nutribullet just can’t keep up. A neighbor let me try his vitamix and it blew me away. It took just a few seconds to make two quarts, and with about half as much pulp left over.
I’m also ordering a couple of gorgeous, high end workout leggings, instead of my usual $11 Amazon’s cheapies. Not to knock them. I love them, but just to strut around in a pair of colorful Dia de los Muertos leggings would be a thrill of the highest order.4
