Goal Reward?

I was heavy into rewards throughout the whole process. I sort of backed in to it-when I saw something I wanted, I would say, ok you can have it When and IF you (fill in goal). I tried to be honorable and make the goal something that fit the reward, or sometimes (for clothes) I made the reward fit the goal. When you reach a new size you get XXX of new clothes. It wasn't really realistic to do that for every size-I bought a lot at the goodwill. I think the good part of that was that I never really tried to make it through a size with only one pair of pants that fit.
Be careful that you don't make everything in your life contingent on losing weight though-that can be troublesome. Sometimes you just need to give yourself a treat!
