How do you reward yourself?



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out and exhausted by the amount of work that I'm putting in with my sleeve! Exhausted in a good way of course :) Just curious...how are you all rewarding yourself without using food?

I'm past rewarding myself at this point, but I loved going to the mall either to get something new, if needed, or just to window shop!!!! I still like trying things on just because I can. :)

Clothes, clothes and clothes! I like to buy something new that shows off the weight I have loss, not to say the clothes I was wearing before surgery is falling off me! I had surgery on March 18, 2013 and I have lost 60 lbs!

I can't wait to buy smaller clothes. I've only lost about 20 so far in 2 weeks....I'll probably wear my summer clothes pretty much the rest of this year...but will re-emerge next year in nice new clothes :)

I buy myself new smaller clothing as well. It also leads to more compliments on my weight-loss progress which keeps me motivated! I also buy myself some fashion jewelry/handbags. I'm obsessed with accessories and jewelry. :)

Well.. If my ass ever gets to the 50lbs loss goal.. I will spend my $300 day spa gift card my boss got me for the occasion.

My reward is just being more healthy and having a better outlook on life. There's nothing material that beats that.

I've had tons of fun buying clothes at the thrift stores. One of places is super organized by size and color. I can zip in and fill up a cart of stuff in about 10 minutes... pants, shirts, jeans, shorts. It's way too expensive to buy brand new stuff during the huge weight loss stage. (Specifically casual business clothes.) Shoes, however, I don't buy used. I dropped from a size 11 to a 9-1/2. My bra size dropped from 48C to 40C - still a C-cup but I'm sure that will eventually drop. For NOW, I'm enjoying the girls. LOL (I mean, they look HUGE now that the tummy is smaller.)

I guess one reward is that I switched to Clinique skincare. That stuff is amazing. My chiropractor keeps telling me how amazed he is that I didn't "age" with the weight loss. I think it's the Clinique working.

YES! Why didn't I think of that- thrift stores?! Perfect. Love the idea of spending a little more money on beauty products too!

I have always been a big fan of relaxation/ pampering with mani/pedi and massage, but I plan to treat myself even more as I go through this process. But, one of the things I am rewarding myself with when I hit milestones is to buy a few personal trainer sessions...since I don't want to buy clothes yet, that one further supports the healthy new life and gets me out of workout ruts

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
