When you meet a goal or loose x amount of weight??

Food
Clothes
expensive item
trips??

I want a new Tattoo....

Yep, I've been inked 3 times.

I want 2 more, but I want to drop another 50 lbs first.

I even have them drawn out.

I drew all 3 of mine...

I'm hooked, but not all over body hooked....

Just certain areas.

Then, I'll buy new clothes....

    My first major goal was to get under 200, which I did this past Thursday and my reward, besides just feeling GREAT is a pair of Ugg Fluffies! LOL! My hubby is going to get them for me. If you don't know what they are, check out the link. They are cool!

    My reward for losing 30 lbs so far (and 2 months ahead of schedule!) is a trip to Vegas in May to meet up with friends. If I can lose another 7 lbs by then I will treat myself to a massage. My overall goal is to lose my last 15 lbs by mid-June and treat myself to the local 99 day summer gym membership to tone up. Once that has happened I don't know. Maybe a trip back to Africa next year!

    once I get down far enough that I can be off blood thinners then it is a new Tattoo for me. Then -50 pounds more and I get another! I can not wait. When I hit the -200 pound mark I am getting a bikini! that is my goal and my reward.:bigsmile:

    To be honest with you, I still reward myself with food and/or drinks!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I said it, publicly!!! Who am I kidding but myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never, ever, been able to reward myself for anything with something else than food or drinks...how can I change this around??? But, then again, I don't have much to loose and I am doing better than before after all...is that the reason I cannot stop rewarding myself with food??

    I'll be honest, I'm with Alf- I do reward myself with food still, but not always- My favorite rewards have been a facial, a manicure, & clothing, a cd, dvd, etc.


    The best reward I'd ever heard of was a charm bracelet. Starting her program, a woman bought an 'empty' charm bracelet- with each 10 lbs lost, she got a new charm...she wore it every day to remind herself of her progress. I couldnt believe how many charms she had on there, it was really inspriting to see all those!

    Patrizia - you will LOVE it! Can I recommend you go to a spa instead of just an RMT's office... enjoy the steam room, hot tub, gym, pool, etc. I like Victoria Spa downtown <www.victoriaspa.com> because I like to use all that other stuff first!
    Enjoy!
