Getting the hair highlighted. What a great idea. This is a good topic because reward for me was always food. I do need to re-train the brain.

I think I did it backwards~
I bought a lamb leather jacket that is a few sizes too small...on purpose.;) It's hanging in the closet with the tags on it..waiting for me. Last wk.i tried it on and it ALMOST fits perfectly..maybe another 6lbs.and it'll be perfect..I only try it on once a wk...and weigh in on monday mornings..It's been like dangling a :carrot: in front of me for the past 3wks.,sorta my inspiration..;) it works for me..Once I get another 10 under my belt so to speak, I'm getting a facial,massage..AND a day of feel goodies for myself..I'm also scheduling a cheezeburger,a really good one sometime in the future,that way I'm not depriving myself of one of my fav foods..I do better if I KNOW I CAN have it,but CHOOSE not to. Choices~:hug:

Hey Everyone!!!
This is such a great thread! I just sat down the other day to plan out goals and rewards for myself. I want to lose about 24bs so, what i did is break it down into 3lb mini-goals and 6lb Goals. It is getting harder to lose weight and I find that I was having trouble reaching thos 5 and 10 pound goals... too much time was going by. 3lbs just seems so 'do-able' for me. So... here is my list: MG 152- new mascara/bronzer G 149-pedicure MG 147- sandles G 144- measured for and buy new bra and panty set MG 141- manicure G 138- new outfit MG 135-facial G 132- Highlights/haircut Final- Massage/Spa treatment MG is 'mini-goal' I tried to stick $20 or under for these but... the lower in pounds the nicer the rewards. I weigh-in tomorrow and I have a great feeling that I will be buying some makeup! I put these in chart form along with a column called 'Date Accomplished'. It is a great reminder for me and I have been working really hard to NOT buy things that are on my reward list... this way I will really have earned a treat for my self I look forward to reading more ideas! |
Shenanigans: That's a great idea! Especially the $20 limit on the mini-goals! Good luck getting to your next goal!
|
Shenanigans- That's a great idea! I should do that, as well. Maybe I'll make my mini goals 10 lbs since I have a lot more to lose.
|
WOO HOO!!! 151 this morning! I am going to the store tomorrow to get myself my 1st reward!
|
Way to go Shenanigans Feels so good don't it....
CONGRADS on you 1st reward, I have 1 more lb to go on my first reward |
Congrats Shenanigans! Hope your first reward is satisfying. Good work!
|
see i don't agree with the reward myself theory.
1. i'm worth hair highlighting, manicures and pedicures NOW. i should not have to wait to lose weight for those things 2. I'm only 1/3 of the way done and i've already had to buy all new bras and panties.. this is not a treat it was a necessity. and a chore. the REWARD is the self satisfaction of a job well done the looks i get from others who know i look good and the fact that my doctor gets off my back about losing weight... |
I figured out my first reward! (Actually, DH thought of it for me.) After my first 15 lbs, he's going to take me to the big city to see Harry Potter 5 in the theatres! YAY! An overnight trip to a real city with a nice dinner out and a movie! Faboo!
|
DH and I have an agreement that once I get to my goal weight I'll go for a big shopping spree :carrot:
I told him at the time that I would also want a paid trip to Milan, NewYork or London for the shopping spree, and we could make a weekend of it. But now that I moved to the NY 'burbs the trip will basically be 12 dollars for the train :D so I figured I can spend more on the actual shopping spree, right? ;) |
Hey, Thanks everyone! I bought myself some physicans formula bronzer and some other goodies.
LadyBug- I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of things now so that they can use it as a reward later. I made my list based on things that I would like to do, but don't do it normally. I usually have a problem of feeling guilty about spending the money on mani/pedis and have never had my hair colored before. This is giving me an incentive to lose weight but also to pamper myself. Kim- That is Fantastic!! I was thinking of using HP (book and movie) but I need to have the book and movie even if I am not at some goal! Elisa! I love the way you think!! Oh... I have decided that I am going to get new sandles before the pedicure--if I am getting new shoes I want to have my feet look good in them :-) |
Well, the prize for me is going to see it in a real theatre. We have a mini-theatre that is not exactly fun to go to. HP is not an option in our house, just how far I go to see it. :D
