When You Get To Your Goal Weight, How Do You Plan To Reward Your Self??



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I like to give myself little rewards when I achieve my weekly goals that I set myself! Eg: go to the movies, go out for dinner, buy an item of clothing, buy a new handbag etc...

Is there anyone else who does this?? And what type of things do you reward your self with?

How will/did you reward yourself BIG when you get/got to goal weight?

I plan on getting a tattoo that I've wanted for yearrrrrrs... :-D but I have never had the balls to get it... So I made it my reward! ;-)

Ty and I will be married when we are our goal weights! We already know we will be married, I just can't wait to have the biggest party of my life (reception) in the dress I can only imagine myself when I am at my goal, and he said he was ok with waiting if I was.

Aww, I love this question. :)

I have not decided how to reward myself along the way.

But when I get to my ultimate goal weight I want to go on vacation to Australia, New Zealand,

or Hawaii. Gotta go somewhere with a beach to show off my new body ;)

I'm waiting for my surgery date, but I've decided I'm going on a cruise with one of my bff's who just had the sleeve done. We're excited to go and wear bikinis for the first time ever. :)

I may get another tattoo (or two, lol) or my nose pierced, I haven't decided. I need to see how my current tats hold up to the weight loss, and then I'll see where to go from there!

good question ! I never thought of a reward, as i felt my newly slim healthy body would be my reward , but i love the idea of a ring as a reminder of my accomplishment. Great idea !( I do love silver and diamonds !)

My goal is too get a breast lift with augmentation. Of course I will probably get a Tummy Tuck as well. I already started my savings account!

When I first started my journey I thought about how I would reward myself too! Somewhere along the way in this past year the constant weight loss distracted me and when I reached my goal (I lost 150 pounds in one year) I completely forgot about that. I'm skinny now hehe... what an AWESOME reward!! I wear size 4 jeans and size small shirts now... REWARD! Honestly, I can't think of a single thing I could give myself that would outshine what I have already done for me~ a new body is about the best reward I can imagine! Happy Losing Everyone!! Trust me, it's BEYOND worth every struggle you will encounter! :P

Considering the best reward will be the weight loss and goals. While I haven't given it a thought yet because I am not banded, however I know this sounds ridiculous, but I always wanted a leather jacket. I could own one if I want, but at my weight honestly I never thought I would look good in one. I don't want a long one, I want a short one hopefully one that will show off my weight loss and accentuate my figure.

Great question, and loved all the answers :)

The first six months I could eat whatever I wanted.. just not a lot. The last six months my restriction kept me from eating things like bread, rice, lettuce, hamburger and chicken that wasn't super moist... but strangely enough I've always been able to eat steak!! I think it's because the texture of it lets me chew it so well that it just goes down easily. So.. I've sure eaten a lot of steak lol! I don't honestly eat a lot ever now. My meals are very small, and everyone freaks out about that, but obviously I'm eating enough. I'm healthy, and never go hungry! ;) I really miss eating salads, but I can't chew lettuce well enough I guess so it never settles well. I love that it takes very little to satisfy me but that also makes me need to constantly be aware of what I do eat because it has to count!

I just started my weight loss journey, but I would really like to reward myself by being able to enjoy an awesome roller coaster ride!! I remember I used to love them until I got to big and no longer fit in them! My excuse has always been I don't like to ride them or I'm afraid! But the truth is I'm to embarrassed to say I can't ride them because I'm too fat! But I know I will (hopefully soon) be able to ride them again! :)

Great question !! Im not sure if this is a "reward" or not, but my goal was to lose 85 to 100 lbs. Im almost half way there (45 lbs) , and while our 25 th wedding anniverary is coming up in July, we have neither the time or money to do anything. So........... I suggested to hubby that next summer (2013) we Celebrate late by going to Alaska on a guided fishing trip ( where you stay in the cabins, they do all the cooking and they take you out on the fishing boats etc.) By then i will be a normal weight (140-125) and will feel much more comfortable climbing in and out of a small plane, and not sinking the boat ! That will definetly be my "reward !!!!"

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
