I think mini goals and rewards are good, and by peoples suggestions I've picked rewards that aren't food centered.
They help me because I'm just at the start and have only lost 14 pounds, which you can barely notice! But mini goals remind me that I am indeed making progress even if I can't see/feel it. My first rewards are smaller, when I loose 15 pounds I'm going to buy my own scale, at thirty I'll be shopping for books! At 45 pounds lost I'm treating myself to a new hair cut. I've wanted front bangs for a long time, even if I don't end up liking them, hair will grow back and its a big motivater. 45 pounds is also my half way point so I figured I deserve it, plus at the weight I might pull off bangs better.
58 pounds lost isy next goal weight, its weird but it will put me back at my high school weight
. For that I'm getting my toenails done with some girlfriends!!! I'm really curious how I'll look too, because I don't know what I'll look like as an adult at that weight.
And my final goal is to loose 74 pounds...maybe less maybe more depending on what I look like and how I feel when I get down there. I want to keep some curves and I've never been that thin as a teenager or an adult! When I hit that, I'm buying a bikini with my husband, which is kind of hilarious cause I don't like wearing bikinis in public or with friends (plus they arent really good at staying on while swimming). But, for just family and the two of us I think it will be fine.
Lobe hearing goals though, they givee ideas!! Maybe I'll add more!!! Love the idea of treating myself
