I know this question has been asked before, but I am asking again lol. What are some rewards you give yourself for hitting mini goals. I recently had to delete my half way mini goal. My half way point is 200lbs and I had originally said I would buy a coach purse, but this weekened I was out with my dad and he bought me one. We saw them and I was like I love that purse and he said well I will buy it for you because of how well you are doing losing weight. So he bought it lol. I couldn't say no, it's so cute pink and purple perfect for spring.
So what are some other idea's? I already got manicure, pedicure, vacation, new wardrobe.
I tend to give myself 15 lb rewards, so they're fairly small. A new yixing-style teapot was one. A theology book I was jonesing after but was too expensive to just buy myself was another. Hiking boots. A new necklace and earrings. X dollars worth of iPod downloads. A new fishing pole. A lovely butterfly bush for the back garden (and my husband planted it!).
10lbs - very cute, expensive sandals from Sundance (still have them!)
20 lbs - massage
30 lbs - clothes
40 lbs - expensive cut/color from a fancy salon
50 lbs - massage (had the same masseuse which was kinda fun, she noticed!)
60 lbs - clothes
1 year maintenance - a tattoo!
One of my rewards (first mini-goal, 10% weight loss) was an iHome and cheap DVD player for my workout area in the garage - I use them every day.
Still thinking about the next one, which is a big one! At about 219, I'll have lost 50 lbs, the 2nd 10%, and be halfway to my intermediate goal (healthy weight of 169). So, I haven't decided - probably it will be something to help me out with hiking and biking this summer (e.g. new day pack, bicycle computer, etc).
I do my mini goals in ten pound so i can look forward to little things hopefully all the time! the more i loose though the better they get!
Loose 10 pounds= New nail polish opi
Loose 20 pounds= new work out pants/top
Loose 30 pounds= new backpacking backpack!
Loose 40 pounds= new passport!
Loose 50 Pounds= Buy Ticket for London
Loose 60 Pounds= buy new dress
Loose 70 pounds= buy new knee high flat boots!
Loose 80 Pounds= leather jacket
Loose 90 pounds= New Jacket for backpacking
Loose 100 pounds= backpacking trip to Europe and a surprise visit with my parents and little brother in Germany!
The reason i chose to backpack is because my dad and mom have been posted to Germany and i really want to see them...
Also when i was 16 i went to France and when i came back i vowed i will not be fat the next time i go back.. A bit heartbreaking but i would really like to shop there!
My 230 mini-goal was the first I had met and, as I've posted, I got my first capris in 8 years and a new haircut.
I will probably reward myself in some way when I get under 200, but it will depend on my needs at the time. There's a good chance it will have to be clothes... I'm just now getting to where a lot of my clothes are really too big to wear comfortably.
I just randomly come up with goals. They change constantly. My next big goal at 215 is going to be a new pair of nice shades. I am loving some Maui Jim and Raybans...we shall see. I bought a coach bag when I lost 50lbs. I love it. It is like my second child or something.
25lbs and I'm buying a corset type lingerie thing
50lbs and I'm buying THE corset that I've been eyeing for months but have been too fat to fit into!
100lbs and I'm going backpacking in Europe with '2phatinvictoria'..haha hopefully we both hit that mark around the same time, or somebody's getting screwed!
