Mini-Goal Rewards
 

Hi everyone!

Was just wondering, do you have any mini-goal rewards planed? I usually really love to shop but have taken a vow to be more disciplined with the quality of items that I buy as well to buy less. I have also seen on the forum that people spent a lot of money on buying new clothes when losing weight and wanted to be able to save up in anticipation. If I buy clothing, it's uniquely because the ones I have don't fit or look presentable anymore. Therefore my rewards will revolve around beauty items or other items that I can't bring myself to indulge in at the moment.

Fall is my favourite season to dress for and I'm feeling a little sad that I can't overhaul my closet...instead here are my mini-goal rewards as of late :)

150 pounds: the bronzer I've been eyeing
145 pounds: manicure
130 pounds: a new piece of jewellery

I'm gonna try and do a clothing run for when I get under the 200lb mark. I'll need new clothes before then, but typically I don't find myself buying "nice" stuff. Just a pair of jeans or two, and then lots of t-shirts I order from woot (cause I'm kinda a nerd). Fingers crossed that trip goes well, usually I hate clothing shopping.

For mini rewards, I have some cheapy games on steam picked out that I'm not allowed to get unless I meet my goals. First goal is 239, as I haven't been under 240 in years, and then basically every 10 lbs. I have lots of games, and books lined up to get, as well as a few make-up choices that are on the more expensive side, but nicer than the cheapy grocery store stuff I typically do.

I did actually! I mean, I suppose I still do.

I bought myself a pair of Uggs when I hit "normal" weight, but that's just because that was kind of a BIG mini-goal for me. With that said, I do set things like if I lose 10 lbs, I can get a haircut or a new top or something!

I honestly just get clothes when I need them, or when I happen to be near a thrift store and have time. I hate wearing clothes that don't fit!

Shoes are a great reward because (hopefully!) my shoe size won't change as I lose weight. I also have bought body jewelry as a reward (new belly ring when I got to Onederland!) I think my reward when I hit my next goal (179) will be a new pair of boots. I need them for this fall anyway - it will just be a good motivator to get there sooner rather than later!
