Goal Rewards?

  • What have been your mini goal rewards? I am down 65 lbs from my start over and have another 65 to go. My end goal is a new wardrobe (yahoo!) but I'm having a hard time thinking of things to motivate me along the way that are non food. When I want to treat myself I allot for it and work for it, so treating myself with food doesn't seem like something I should do. I also struggled with emotional eating and bingeing, so I don't want to encourage that behavior in myself.

    I like pedicures, manicures, and massages, but they aren't something that really excites me. I'm already motivated as it is, I just want a little something extra in my mini goals to help me stay strong on days that I may be a little less motivated. My goals are 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 lbs lost, with the final being 130.
  • I was just thinking about this... I think I'm going to either set aside a given amount of money for each mini goal met, that I will save for when I reach my end goal and use for new clothes or maybe to book a trip somewhere, or I'll get some new makeup and nail polishes (trying to spend less on such things, so maybe having them as rewards wouldn't be too bad). Other options could be concert tickets or similar, and I know someone who used to get things for the house, like small decorative items and such... Can't really think of anything else
  • Anytime I reached a mini-goal I would always buy a new clothing item in the size I want to be in. It's really motivating and makes me even more determined to lose weight when I see the cute clothes lying around that I want to wear!
  • The adding a new piece of wardrobe to the ending goal sounds like a good motivator. This has been a question I was asking myself too. I thought camping trips would be a good one for me. Every 10 pounds My hubby would like it as well. Felt the same way of rewarding losing weight with binge eating a day. might not be good to not fall back into habit. Buuuuuuuuut one of my rewards at say 45 pounds might be olive garden lol
  • Fragrances
