Have any of you or do any of you plan to reward yourself by doing something really special when you reach your goals?? I plan to get a tatto in chinese scripture that means either strenth or beauty, heck, maybe I'll get both... Here they are: http://www.chinese-symbols.com/b-chi...-for-beautiful
yeah, I want a tattoo as well. Some sort of celtic knot on the back of my neck.
As far as your tattoo choices I'd go with "Beauty". The first symbol, "mei", is also used when writing 'American' literally --->beautiful people. How we got that honor I'll never know.
Anyway, the first character in "strength" is also used for masculine or male. So...if you're not into gender stereotyping then I'd skip it.
Yep, when I reach my final goal I fully intend on spending a grotesque amount of money on a whole new wardrobe. I'll also purchase one of those self contained outdoor fire pits, so I can properly dispose of my "fat clothes". Just like the olden days of bra burning (okay, not THAT olden) I will be throwing off the shackels of my oppression. I will never again dress in clothing that is considered fashionable only for people twice my age!
I haven't really thought about what I plan on rewarding myself with when I reach my final goal. I'll have to think on this, because I think it's important to have a reward in mind. I guess I haven't really thought on it, because part of my reward will be a longer and healthier life.
Right now, I reward myself every other week, with a new outfit for work, and also something NEW to workout in, keeps me motivated when I have something new to wear, and is a nice reward for kicking butt Who doesn't love new clothes.
I reward myself either with clothes, or with beauty products. I will definitely be doing some splurging when I reach my final goal -- I plan to reward myself with a day at a spa!
I am going to go to Hawaii and learn to surf. I have been saving up the vacation time forever! I hope I can make it there before may of next year, but at the rate I am losing...
I'll definitely get clothes and/or shoes, and might take a mini-vacation someplace new...like New Orleans or something. Another thing I'm going to do is have our family picture taken...currently there are hardly any pictures of me with my son because I hate fat pictures. Sad huh?
eek... Clothes... just thiniking about shopping gets me excited. I'm a shoppaholic, but I've been staying away from buying new clothes recently because even though I'm not losing as fast as I had hoped.. I'm anticipating a size change sometime in the near future. When I finally get down to a size 14 (my mini-goal size) I'm going to buy some new pants.
I haven`t even put much thought into what my reward will be for reaching my true goal weight. I'm giving myself a year to lose about 80lbs, so I guess that as it gets closer I will have a clearer idea of what I want.
a MAIN reward?? Im hoping to get married, I know he's gonna marry me either way, but I want to pretty dress with a pretty body... kinda goofy I know... Other than that... I really want to wear a short skirt a bikini Im suh a dork!! I have weird rewards, oh and another baby!
I totally sympathize with you Christy. My son is 5 1/2 and I only have 3 pictures of us together. This is mostly because I don't want long-term proof that I was once as big as a whale, but some of it has to do with being a single mom...when it comes to capturing my handsome man on film I am always behind the camera
Clothes and more Clothes. Every time I go down a size I run out to buy a bunch of tops and jeans, skirts, whatever I want in that size.... because that is MY big motivator.
I have a reward for every mini goal I have set for myself, all stuff that helps me to feel good about myself, teeth whitening products, manicure/pedicure, tanning, then closer to the ultimate goal is new clothes and new sexy undies!!!

That's a good one. I think that would be a lot of fun to learn to surf. I'm moving to Florida in 6 months... do they have any good surf beaches? I might have to take up surfing.
This isn't a reward, but the surf thing got me thinking about it. I've been thinking of taking boxing lessons. I'm going to increase my stamina first and maybe get down to 180 first, but I think I might do it!
I might be in the minority, but I really have no specific "reward" planned when I reach my goal. I think my "reward" will be achieving the goal itself. It is just going to be such a great feeling to have lost 65 pounds, gotten in better shape and become more comfortable with myself. My new, healthy body is my reward!
Rewards for reaching your goal....
I will definitely be doing some splurging when I reach my final goal -- I plan to reward myself with a day at a spa!
