I'm a bit too self indulgent. I have 2 major gifts to myself. The first being knee repair surgery. I've been needing this for years, but I've not gotten it because I knew with all the extra weight I'd probably just mess it up again. The second is an "at goal" gift. I've always wanted a really nice casual suit. So I'm saving up for it, I figure me "vanity" acct will have enought in it about the time I reach goal.

I love this idea. Part of my reward for losing weight was the beginning of a new wardrobe. Yep, as everyone else with weight loss, I had to buy new, sexy cloths! I reward myself by buying only what I absolutely love and not settling for anything because it's my size. I love it too. Now when I get to goal, I want to go on vacation to another country. Not sure which one I want to go to though. But I'll figure it out. Perhaps Germany where my ancestry came from. :)

Years ago when i lost weight onweight watchers I did little mini goal rewards, but for some reason that hasn't "called to me" so I really havent done that.

I do plan on buying some nice custom fit chaps once I am at my final weight!

Well once I hit the century club, I bought myself a really nice ring. I love jewelry though. It was within my budget! But it's the only "prize" I've given myself. Once I get to my "final" goal though, I am going to figure out something else....not sure what ... YET! (It will be soooo weird to get to goal... I've always fought the weight battle, IDK what it'll be like not to fight uphill.....)

I also haven't set small goals. At 35 down I will be half way. I have my eye on the mate to my last diets reward at 30 down which is a 3' tall cut crystal perfume display bottle. I suppose I could make that a half way goal :) It's antique and one of a kind (the pair) so...gosh you have nearly talked me into it.

At goal I'm torn....if we are super flush I'd like to buy a glass window (wheel cut, antique) that is extremely rare. Dh and I both want the danged thing though so perhaps it could be twenty years worth of Christmas gifts lol.

But the one thing I am doing is to meet with a professional stylist at nordstroms and drop some serious cash on a new wardrobe that defines who I am now verses ten years ago when I was my goal weight and wore suits most of the time. Now I float between mixing up horsehair plaster to repair a wall and and fancy dancy cocktail parties. So I need a split personality wardrobe I guess lol. Maybe I should budget in part of that wardrobe from the hardware store!

Boy ya sure feel like a lady when you say you're going cloths shopping at the hardware store.....

I haven't really thought about non rewards yet except for a new wardrobe when I meet my goal weight. I guess I can think of something to keep me motivated and post later.

Iffy chick - I will be halfway at 75 pounds hence the need for mini goals - I think it's gonna be a long journey

I think your mini goals are great :). (But get the iPhone with a computer generated dog app....much easier than a real dog and no poop to scoop!). Lol

Yes, you do deserve this, and actually, you have always deserved it! I also have been looking at new jackets for the snow.....Yay, this is truly a treat. :)

I wanted a proper pair of roller skates for a mini-goal reward, but with my osteopenia being on the roller derby team almost guarantees broken bones :( I think I will settle on boots for the winter if my calves will fit.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
