there is a thread or two around rewards... you don't have to spend a lot of money on a reward it can be a magazine -a bubble bath - a bottle of nail polish...
You can go to a thrift shop and buy yourself an outfit that's just a trifle too small -or set up a clothing share program with other people who are also trying to lose weight and when you hit that size -your reward is you have somehing new to you - to wear
What got me thru my first 125lbs - was a paper chain I had created ... it was a gum wrapper chain that I made out of pretty paper -and i just kept adding to the chain- it was good incentive to see the chain keep growing... while I wasn't
If you are into music, you can use that as a reward. For each little step you can reward yourself with a download. It is money, but it's not much, so you can use it often.
It's a better alternative to taking up whoring around as a reward.
Hey everyone,
Firstly, mods: if this is in the wrong section, then please feel free to move it.
I have a terrible habit of using food as a treat or reward, for example if I complete a big assignment or something I'll allow myself an ice cream, or something like that. I'm basically just wondering if anyone has suggestions for little things I could use as a yay-I'm-finished-treat or a well-done-reward?
I'm a student, so don't have cash to buy things, which is why food often gets used - it happens to be in the cupboard anyway, and so isn't an extra expense I can't afford! Add to that is the fact that food is my big vice; I don't smoke, do drugs, whore around...I just really enjoy good food.
So, there's the situation. If anyone has any suggestions they'd be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Meg.
What about clothes!
When I reach a goal (or just eating well for a week) I go out and treat myself to a new top or a pair of shoes. Or I say "I cant buy clothes until I lose 2kg!).
Or buying make up? Thats something little that you can buy for a reward, or some cheap jewellery or a book?
What about exercise equiptment or nutrition books? Something to help you along with your weight loss is always good.
I like the music and paper chain ideas, thanks. I also like the clothes sharing one, but I can't find anything like that around here, and unfortunately I can't afford - even cheap - clothes that often!
Anyone Else going to reward themselves when they get to there goal weight??? I am going to get a tattoo as soon as i get a six pack, ive always wanted one now this gives me more reason to bust ass. Wondering if anyone else is doin anything.

I'm giving me and my family a trip to Disney World (and a chance to see old friends in Orlando). Of course, my family consists of myself and my wife. And We could stay with our friends so the trip would be cheap. And I have friends that work at Disney still so I can still get free tickets. Well hell, I should go now!
LOL , I went to the domincan republic for my honeymoon and tried to convince my wife to go topless.. she wouldn't do it.. whats up with you women.. If i was a women ide be showing everyone. Ide prolly be a big hoe
Aye! Not all women can be hoes, some of us have to be keepers.
I do have to say though, If I was on my "goal" vacation and feeling the moment, and maybe I was on the beach in front of the ocean, and not too many people were around, and if I was probably drinking a little too much, I would do it. lol
Bahaha, well yeah ya know... Living in that moment. It's kind of like a fantasy.
I'm not about to lay butt nehkid on a beach with a bunch of screaming kids running around, and dogs sniffing, and people throwing frizbees over me, and the local homeless guy shuffling through the garbage, etc... lol
