How do you reward yourself when you reach a milestone?

I am 3lbs away from being 199lb. I started at 254 I can't ever remember being under 200 so to see that number change from a 2 to a 1 is a huge deal for me. I have never rewarded myself for my loss up until now, except with the odd cheat meal but today I went mad and booked...

A full body exfoliation
A back, neck and shoulder massage
A pedicure
A full set of nails
A facial
A hair restyle

to take place next Friday. I know I can lose the 3lb by then and I have a night out planned for that evening.

At my heaviest I would never have felt comfortable having someone give me a massage, so I have never indulged in beauty treatments before and I am SOOOOO excited!!! Best part is that due to various offers and refer a friend scheme, the entire session is going to cost £40!!!! WAAAHOOOO

So, how do you reward yourself, or if you have not rewarded yourself yet then how do you plan too????

    Have fun!!!

    For my first goal, I was actually going to get chin liposuction. But once I started running, my chin has really improved so even though I met my first goal in February, I'm waiting. I might not need my chin done at all. I've been buying myself new, nice clothes along the way. Nothing worse than feeling frumpy when you've accomplished a lot, just because your clothes are too big!

    At the end, if I reach my ultimate goal, I may be doing a boob lift (with a possible reduction depending on it they're still too big), possible chin liposuction, and hey, maybe some loose skin removal if I have that issue. No idea how I'd pay for that, so it may end up being a vacation somewhere LOL.

    I am quite lucky, because we have the NHS my Doctor has agreed to considering me for skin removal surgery once I reach my goal.

    Anywhere nice for the vacation?
