Wondering how others reward themselves on milestones and achievements...

Very creative - I like the charitable element to your plan!

Sounds like a well earned "bling" moment!  I did the same when I graduated w/my MBA.  Must start planning....

I got in the 100th Sunday and my husband bought me a laptop do that was really nice

I haven't really set up a reward system, I figured once I'm able to reach my daily goals, protein, water, sleep & exercise I'll come up with something. Right now I rearrange my clothes closet & pack up my bigger sized clothes & do a mini fashion show in the mirror of all the smaller sized clothes that I still have., and can now wear! I do that and do window online shopping, I've been adding things to my wish list like crazy!, hope to have the cash someday & buy them!

Thanks for the fashion show suggestion.  I'm sure that shopping in my closet will be fun.  In fact I have a pretty sexy dress that was last worn in Puerto Vallarta... about 10 years ago.... perhaps I'll hang it where I can see it every day.

After my first WLS I rewarded myself for reaching goal by getting a tattoo.  Too bad the tattoo was more permanent then the weight lose :(

This last time I really didn't do anything other then get clothes that fit when the other things got too big.  Now, just keeping the weight off is it's own reward.

I decided what to write and then saw Tracy's post! My thoughts entirely!

i now eat like a slim person. That is, I eat mostly healthy foods, some treats, never eat to feeling uncomfortable, happy to leave food on my plate.  Rewarding myself would make that seem somehow forced and unnatural. So even in the early losing stages, I didn't reward myself.

Feeling good, being active, enjoying clothes - my rewards. And there all the time!

I've also received posts about "celebrate" vs. reward.  I'm liking that change of mental image.  Celebrating can be worked in almost everyday by feeling good (like you say) enjoying the sunrise or simply being happy about being alive.  

The only "reward" I've given myself is that I bought I bike when I got to just over 250lbs.  I had been wanting a bike for a very long time but I was always too big.  I'm not sure it was so much a reward for getting to that weight as much as it was "ok, I can do a thing that someone 'normal' can do now".  Like others have said, I don't do rewards, per se.  I just revel in the fact that I feel great and enjoy being able to do more and more.
