As I sit here contemplating what it will be like to reach goal, I think about the first thing I can't wait to buy - and for ME, it will be a nice pair of jeans (think 7 for all Mankind...)
Anway, what will be the first thing you buy yourself once you make goal??
The only thing I can think of is to NOT give away all my "fat" clothes. Every time I've lost weight before (which is MANY times) I have given the fat clothes away so they wouldn't be available for slipping into on my way up again. Thought that would help me realize if I started gaining weight.
All it's done is made me buy a whole new "fat" wardrobe every other year! SO, this time I thought I should give away all those "skinny" clothes in my closet and see what happens!
I haven't really got any plans for making goal, but I plan to shop in a NORMAL store the first chance I get. Anthropologie, J.Crew, and Boden are all high on my list.

Not really related but a few months ago, I went on a shopping spree because I needed clothes. I can fit in J. Crew clothes, but when I walked in there, one of the tiny sales associates looked at me like I had 2 heads. I'll never shop there.
On the other end of the spectrum, Black House White Market was so awesome!! I love that store and the sales associates were so friendly.
My first purchase was at black house white market!! I needed a little black dress for a function! It's funny because I'd always wanted a little black dress but never got one until goal, and that was the first thing I wanted to buy! Every girl needs a little black dress right?!
May I just say WAIT on the jeans. I bought 2 pairs of 7 jeans upon hitting goal and they're now too big! My body has kept shrinking in inches over the last few months and I'm so pissed I spent all that money on jeans that I can barely wear! I always have to dry them to shrink them which is making them fade. I'm also now contemplating 10 more lbs, but honestly the thought of not being able to wear those jeans at all, is making me give it a second thought!
I'm treating myself to a spa day, when I hit my goal. I can't wait! It will be quite a splurge, so it definatley keeps me motivated..because if I dont lose the weight I WILL NOT allow myself to spend that kind of money.
I want to get a really good haircut at a NICE salon. I haven't had one of those in ages because I was always embaressed to walk into a nice place and afraid of what they would think of me. So I have been pretty much getting my hair cut at a cheap place So I can get in and get out. I am going to do the works. Cut, color and style.
I want to buy a cute outfit, like maybe a nice black top with jeans and heels. Not that I don't wear black tops with jeans and heels now, but I mean something WOW. Something I wouldn't be comfortable with wearing right now. I'd also love to be treated to a spa day.
OK, Ladies, what will it be?!??!
