How i will celebrate/reward myself

[fezik23 240]

Would like to reward myself for milestones I hit along the way. Of course restaurants won't work. And clothing isn't a good idea since I don't know where I will end up. I already have piles of purses and books, and I can't afford to travel.

I am a knitter but never wanted to knit for myself. So that is my plan- find a great sweater pattern and splurge on some beautiful yarn. Even though I just started this journey I'm gonna start looking at patterns soon. ( I'm not exactly a speed knitter.)

you are still pre-op right???

anything you chose to do as a reward will/ should be important to you - personally

or go somewhere special (not Friendly's )

I swear, it seems like the weight loss itself will be reward enough for me. I have enough clothes to fit me until I hit the last 20 pounds. At that point, I may go a little indulgent.

I'm weird and I buy new gym clothes since I spend so much time in the gym. Right now I'm thinking I need to reward myself with a bigger backpack since I drag so much stuff to and from it. LOL!

I plan to treat myself to a professional hair dye service when I reach 100 lbs lost. I am a 30 year home dyer, and it would be nice to get it done by a pro for once. Other planned treats for goals include mani-pedi treatments and spa days.

I am post op but have a long way to go

I've done jewelry (small stuff--earrings or a bangle) mani/pedi, running shoes, yoga mat...I think a massage next!

Saving the tattoo for GOAL! Getting close...down 110 today looking for another 16. Thinking about a butterfly but not sure where I will put it yet.

I plan to reward myself as I hit milestones with short weekend getaways. I look forward to being able to walk around and explore new places on foot, something I have struggled with as the weight increased. The day I hit my final goal, I'll be on the computer, booking a flight (maybe to Hawaii) and rejoicing in the fact that I won't be worried about fitting into the airplane seat, or making the person next to me uncomfortable! I passed up a trip to S. Korea this year, too afraid I wouldn't fit comfortably. Never again!
