I reward myself all the time... if I meet my goals or not.. just better when I do meet the goal.. I will try a bite of something, buy something new.. take a picure, book a hotel room for the night.. take a cruise.. whatever I can afford at the time or how much time I have...
I can't say that I had specific goals when I was losing. Of course, it was fun every time I got into a new "decade" on the scale! I had an absolute ball buying clothes all along the way (it's embarrassing how much money I spent, even knowing I'd be growing out of them into smaller things)!
The one milestone I did really make a big deal out of was losing 100 lbs. I had wanted a nice birthstone ring for awhile and just never had, but when I lost 100, I found an esp. pretty garnet ring w/ diamond accents and bought it. I wear it most of the time and love how it reminds me of that accomplishment.
I didn't buy or do anything specific when I reached my goal (I never did have a true, official goal, but 155-160 seemed to be a good place, so that's where I was happy). But I regularly indulge myself pretty well anyway! I love to buy clothes, shoes, etc., as well as decorating items, & my hubby is generous with gifts on special occasions. We are empty-nesters, so it's my time to spoil myself! (OK, and the grandkids!)
I can't believe I missed this one...when it was the one I've been looking for! I love the ideas. I've been trying to decide what to do when I meet my next goal...I don't think I'm going to meet the Valentines Day goal, but I'll set a more realistic goal next time.
I like the mani/pedi idea. New outfits are fun too. Jewelry is my husbands domain, so I'll leave that to him. Someone said they had a list...that's a good idea.
I'm thinking when I get to 199 I might go to a department store and get a make-over...and buy all the make-up that goes with it!
