For no good reason? For special occassions? As a special treat?
Every once in a while I'll go get a pedicure or a massage. I feel absolutely glorious afterwards, and I always wonder why I don't do it more often. (Probably because I couldn't afford it )
I guess I treat myself by buying foods I like, but not necessarily because I want to treat myself but because I want them. Other than that I never treat myself, I just usually dont see a reason to.

Aaaaaaaaaw, there's ALWAYS a reason to treat yourself.
How about a new cosmetic item or something else that you've wanted for a while, like a new CD or DVD. I love to go shopping & buy a new article of clothing or a new novel. Or a new pair of shoes. I love to buy magazines too, so that's always a treat.

Listen to the sage, here! So true. Today I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure. OMG they had a massage recliner there, to sit in while we waited for/got the pedicure. I had no idea these things existed. Felt just like a real massage. I told DH I WANT ONE when I reach my goal weight. He agreed and then said "Wait, how much are they?" Har, too late!
I used to treat myself with food. I have issues with massages, don't like manicures/pedicures, and I always break out horribly after having a facial.
Anyone have any tips on how to pamper myself that doesn't involve those things?
Oh, plenty! Depending on what your issues are with massage (if it's just that you don't like strangers feeling you up in your undie wear) then try out one of those chairs that I just posted about. When I get mine I'll never get out of it, I think! Sorry kids, there's poptarts in the cupboard!
Other than that--if you have a hobby, set a goal and then when you reach it, get yourself a nice toy for your hobby. How about clothes, or a purse? New shoes? I'm full of ideas
Oh dear Lord. I'm the poster child for self-pampering.
I photograph weddings every week (sometimes 2 or 3 a week) and it's damn hard work. It's very physical and very strenuous. So I get a massage every other week. (It's therapeutic! Really!)
I get my toes done every other week as well (on alternate weeks from the massages).
And, um, I get my eyebrows and my ... ahem ... waxed every 5-6 weeks.
Yeah. I"m kinda a girly girl that way. I like the whole spa thing. Our local spa sells "series" of massages, waxes, etc. - buy 3 or 4 and get the 4th or 5th one for free ... so I usually buy a series and indulge.

Okay, so I know you write code. Is there any sort of gadget you've had your eye on? Apps for said gadget or anything? That's pampering yourself.
I know that occassionally treating myself to a new DS game is fun, and helps... uh... keep my hand-eye coordination working well... aww ****, it's just fun.
Personally, I treat myself with the spa treatments, too. However I do LOVE the idea of the Pandora bracelet. That may be a good incentive to keep the weight coming off!
Do you pamper yourself?
