Alot of us have come a long long way since originally starting JC, was just wondering if any of you reward yourself either daily, weekly or at a certain # of pounds.
How do you reward yourself for all your hard work?
*** edited this post to say this: I think we should all set a 10 lb goal reward for ourself. The next time we get to that 10 lb mark we should reward ourself in some sort. Reward yourself every 10 lbs or 20 lbs which ever one you feel is a big mark for you, that way you will have an extra benefit to strive for !!!
When I got to -20 lbs I spent the weekend at the beach with a girlfriend. I didn't realize it then but my DH gave me his last penny (almost) so I could go. How's that for support! He said it was about priorities.
My rewards are all different. A few hours at the spa, a complete new set of makeup, those beautiful and expensive shoes I've always wanted never could bring myself to buy. Sometimes if I reach a weight goal or followed an exercise plan I allow myself something sinful to eat.
My rewards are ones that will help me on my way to smaller sizes. For example I buy new exercise outfits, a walkman for walking, new exercise equipment, even new sexy clothes to boost my confidence. I don't go by pounds ;rather, I go by when I can squeeze into the next size smaller. For me its not about the scale but actually seeing a difference. My final destination will be rewarded by a shopping trip for a whole new wardrobe, my mom said she'd reward me $5 a pound to go towards it. Thats my big reward.
I reward myself for every 10 lbs. I usually buy something fun like a new size smaller pair of pants if I'm down a size or since I collect Woodstock from Peanuts (Snoopy's bird friend, not the rock concert ), I'll buy something that's Woodstock related.
I get my nails done every 2 weeks as well and get a pedicure once a month, so that's another one of my rewards.
My husband has promised me a trip anywhere in the world I want to go when I get to my goal weight, so that's a big incentive for me!
I'm torn between Australia and an Alaskan cruise. He wants to go to Florence, Italy -- he lived there when he was a child. So maybe that will be a good place too.
I'd love to go to Israel, but they have to settle all the issues and be a peaceful place before I'd do that.
Do you reward yourself?
