I didn't do anything-just kept on going as I still had a long way to go at that point. I didn't truly rejoice until I had all the weight off, and even then, it was just a pat on my back for myself. I kept my milestones to myself unless someone asked me; I guess I was afraid if I made too big a deal of it, I would set myself up for failure and regain. That is still such big fear of mine.

Heike, I also have only 6 lbs to go to hit the 100 lbs weight loss. Some days it seems like I am never going to acheive it though. It is tough going for me right now. I needed a bit of encourgement, thank you.
I hadn't really thought of treating myself, but an nice new bracelet sounds good. I work at Hallmark's, and they always have pretty jewelery there. Have to use my 30 % discount, what a deal.
I am definitely not going out to eat, too much temptation out there, Diane

I'm am pretty new post-op, but I've been thinking about a 100lb reward. That's a pretty big deal, I mean think about it. ONE HUNDRED POUNDS. That you are no longer carrying around on your much happier body.

My husband is dangling a jewelry reward (I LOVE all things sparkly), but I have been kinda thinking about a day at the spa type thing. A facial, manicure, pedicure, and maybe a new hair-style. And to really be bold, let the stylist do what she/he wants. But, on the other hand, sparklies.

Oh, decisions, decisions! I can't wait to get closer and have this decision to make!

WOW ...... what a response. Thanks everyone. Great ideas too.

I guess I won't be buying jewelry, because I sell lia sophia and have a lot, lol. If any of you like to check my jewelry out or buy something to treat yourself feel free to check out my website at www.liasophia.com/heikeburleigh, or call me at 843-822-9512 and I will send you a catalog. You can even earn a lot of FREE jewelry, if money is an issue.

But all kidding aside. I like the idea of a mani/pedicure! I think I might do that. Who knows, I guess I have another month before I hit that milestone.

Thanks everyone, I love you guys....

God bless,
~Heike

I'm with Laura, pedicure, manacure, or even a spa day.

My husband want's family photos when I lose the weight. I refuse now to have photos taken with me in them because I'm so fat. So that's what he's waiting for. hehe

For me personally, I'd like a quiet weekend with my husband!! hehe But, yeah, that's not going to happen!! hehe
