    Oh, that's a great reward! I have a hard time justifying getting a pedicure because I'm a professional nail technician (why spend the money when I can do it myself??) so that would be a good one for me! Make my coworkers pamper me! Lol.

    I'm plateauing right now, right above the 70lb loss mark, so that'll be good motivation to keep working out and bust through. =)

    I pretty regularly reward myself for 6 days of healthy eating & kickass workouts with my bodyweight in Patron &/or a day spent eating a crapton of craptastic crap food that may or may not include a piece of cake the size of my head.

    Is that bad?

    No. It's WONDERFUL! :drinker:

    A life spent without adoring food and drink is not a life I think is worth living!

    I occasionally reward myself with food but then I'm a *****.
    :laugh:

    I think you can all guess what the censored word was.

    But, if they had an opposable thumb and could get into the pantry, they would. :laugh: Actually, I had a dog that figured out how to open the bread drawer (handle not a knob). After that, it was no longer the bread drawer.

    My cat can get into our pantry, cabinets, and china cabinet. I had to move her food to the top of the pantry.

    :bigsmile: I don't think they would think to reward themselves if a human being hadn't rewarded them first :smile: It seems to me that human beings are the only ones who need rewards.

    I don't reward myself with food, I eat whatever I want anyway and just mark it down on this little site called MFP

    Just to be inappropriately serious I get pretty excited about kimchi. I don’t really think indulging in some kimchi on occasion is a problem. But yeah banana splits are a problem. ;P

    Whenever I try to train my dog with treats she likes too much she goes so nuts with anticipation over the reward that she can’t focus. When she can focus she just barely does the absolute minimum to get the treat.

    My nephew is being potty trained. Honestly he’s not so different.

    Goals & rewards are double-edged swords. They have the power to help but also limit or hinder progress.

    Well said.

    That's true on so many levels. Rewarding yourself by doing something that made you overweight in the first place (I know not everyone would do this, but I have totally binged as a reward when i lost weight, and would just crash diet the next day to make up for the damage) is probably not wise. Instead, maybe make a "My New Wardrobe" savings account (piggy bank, or whatever), and give yourself money whenever you lose a pound or more a week?
