weight loss rewards

[Balki.Bartokomous]

I think I'm ready to start attempting to get off of Team Fatass (again) but I need inspiration and to bribe myself with material things.

How do YOU reward yourself when you reach a milestone? What milestones have you set for yourself?

Clothes, home decor, and/or ice cream. Probably should skip that last one.

Right now I'm on a no clothes buying until I've lost 10lbs freeze. Then when I reach that 10lbs I'm going to treat myself to some Kendra Scott Elle earrings.

When I was eating the strictest, my reward was ONE Lindt truffle for losing 20 lbs. I had a slice of cheesecake when i lost 50. Damn, I wish I had that willpower again. My big reward was a trip to Vegas when I lost 100 lbs.

I stalled out after some medication changes and gained 15, but will go strict again after getting back on meds (metformin) next month.

I bought a bunch of new clothes when I got down to a size 8 (from a 14), but that was sort of necessary at that point. But I told DH that when (if) I get down to a 4 I am going all out. I expect to have several thousand available to buy myself a great wardrobe - not just basics from ON.

I'm also ready to get off the teamfatass train. Right now, I am using clothes as a reward once I lose the first 10 pounds. Since I don't have many clothes left that fit well or look decent (DS has ruined a ton of my stuff), I am getting desperate. I tell myself that once we move, I'm going back to running. It was a guaranteed way for me to lose 10 pounds quickly since it's just water weight.

After having DS2, I rewarded myself with $20 for every pound lost. I put the cash envelope on the fridge as motivation. Then I took the money and bought some new clothes. You can make it more or less, depending on your budget and how much weight you have to lose.

Massage or pedi

I have 10-12 more lbs to lose and am planning to buy a pink/magenta Kendra Scott necklace when I reach my goal. I'm hoping to reach my goal by our summer vacation (end of June).

buying new clothes, although necessary, was very rewarding to me.

Clothes, jewelry, spa days, vacation for meeting your ideal weight (hoping this is in our budget when I do lose all of the weight i want to lose!)

I reward myself in 3 different categories. 1st, pounds lost. For every 10 pounds, I get something special. For example, I just lost 10, so I'm getting the mint green Anthro watch. 20 pounds is a new pair of sunglasses. Next category is inches lost. For every 2 inches off of my waist (I measure every 2 weeks), I do some sort of spa treatment, like a mani/pedi, massage, etc. And finally, number of workouts. For every 25 workouts I do, I get something fitness related. My first one coming up is a new pair of pink and orange running shoes.

Lately, I've been more into FB looking at HS friends' pics to motivate me. LOL.

eta: I know it's not a reward but it's my current motivation. Shopping or buying something doesn't motivate me right now.

This is going to sound cheesy as hell, but I'm trying not to use tangible items as rewards. I really want my weight loss to equal a lifestyle change. I'm afraid that once I give myself rewards, I will lose interest. I will definitely buy new clothes when that time comes though!
