Default Rewarding yourself?

Do you reward yourself once you hit a goal? Just curious what you use as a reward/incentive to help you stay moivated!

I used to reward myself with food, so now I need to find some new things. Once I hit my first mini goal (10% weight loss) I'm getting a pedicure!

I haven't really. I'm thinking I will come up with some good ones, though, because I'm starting to get a bit lazier and sloppier, and could use some extra encouragement as it gets slower and harder.

I have not lost enough weight yet for a reward; however, when I lose 10% that is definitely worth a reward. I would like to get a new outfit.

Oh my gosh, I plan to reward myself for every 5 pounds I lose! Hehee, ok maybe I am a bit of a princess. I'll buy some sort of high end cosmetic, manicure, pedicure , article of clothing, shoes, costume jewelry etc. My goal reward will probably be a trip with a friend who is also trying to lose weight. I could see how this could get expensive if you have 100 plus pounds to lose, but this really keeps me motivated.
