QOTD: 2/25/04 Rewards

[TracyD]

First off, I apologize for posting the question so late. My only excuses are a headache combined with a busy morning here at work.

Do you reward yourself for meeting certain goals? If so, how (small rewards, big ones)? What sorts of rewards... please share and let's revel in our successes!

Hello everyone:

I most certainly reward myself for reaching goals. First of all I tell all my friends and family about every five pound loss and their pats on the back are rewards to my ego and encouragement to keep going.

Every ten pounds means a dress size which means I get a new dress, or pants, or shirt,or workout clothes, whatever the mood happens to be!

Reward yourself, you deserve it!

I do reward myself. When I started WW I figured out all my 10% and divided those in half so that I reward myself about every 10-11 lbs. I also share with family and friends when I lose 5 lbs. I reward myself several ways. Sometimes its a new outfit. Others have been, Cross-Country skiing weekend, Hiking, antique shopping, outletshopping, New book, DVD player. When I figured out when my rewards were going to be I also made a list of possible rewards.

My goal is if I can 3 2km walks per week for the next 2 months I am going to buy myself a bike!! I really want to go bikeriding instead of my usual brisk walking!

I keep a list of my incentives/rewards. The incentives include certain amounts of time OP, scale victories, exercise challenges and nutrition challenges. My rewards so far have included several books from amazon, a magazine subscription, pretty journal and stickers, and an early 50-lb reward (thanks to DH)- mp3 player. I love to reward myself along the way, and I'm also saving up for a biggie for when I hit my ultimate goal- a NYC shopping/dining/theater trip.

I am planning a reward for myself when I hit 10%.
I usually do not get my hair done on a regular basis , my hair is very very long, SO when I hit 10 % I am getting a SALON MAKEOVER!!
Hair, nails , feet , and back massage!!
it will be worth it !!because I am worth it!!

My first reward to myself when I lost 10# was to THROW AWAY my jeans that were a size I swore I was never going to buy - That size is history! When I reach my 10%, I'm going to get a massage - Hubby's treat smile.gif

When I was close to reaching 10% I ordered a gold bracelet. It arrived in time for 10% celebration w/ DH. It is always on my wrist and a reminder of my accomplishment.

I'm thinking 20% will be a new ring. Expecially since my originals are loose and twirling around my fingers.

When I was in the losing mode I use to put $5 in a kitty every week I lost. (No matter how small)

By the time I reached lifetime I had a small fortune. I was able to buy a new wardrobe.
