Present for yourself?



Recommended Posts

Did anyone buy a present for themselves after getting banded (apart from the band itself of course :->)

I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet. Silver with a Gold Clasp. I decided I would buy myself a gold/silver bead (charm) and a gold separator charm for every 5 kgs I lose. So far I have 3 gold/silver beads and 3 gold separators.

I figure by the time I get to goal weight it will be nice and full, and will mean a lot to me.

What a great idea for the braclet. I didn't buy myself a gift until I started changing sizes. Then, every time I went shopping, I'd tell DH that I am celebrating because I lost, X number of pounds.

One day he said, "You're always celebrating!" I said, "I know, I have a lot to Celebrate and I keep changing sizes so I deserve it!"

Happy Friday everyone!

I have decided I am going to get a tattoo on the inside of my wrist when I lose 40kg to remind me everyday of where I have been and how far I have come.

Oh yeah and as a mid way present we might go to Melbourne to see 'Wicked' the musical.

I have toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo too when I get to goal, but we'll see how I feel when I get there!

I treat myself pretty much everytime I go to the shops. I'm a total clothes horse these days! I love shopping WAY too much!

Nat, what are you going to tattoo on your wrist? I too have considered getting a tattoo when I reach goal. I saw where an actress, not one I'm fond of, but she tattooed "Breathe" on the inside of her wrist in white. She's white, so it barely showed up and I thought that was king of a neat idea, but couldn't decide what I would put there. Maybe "01/04/2008", my bandiversary date.

I'd love to hear ideas from the rest of you!

That is very funny because one of the words I have been considering is breathe, I didnt know any actress had it I just thought it kind of rang a bell with me, I have not decided and I have a while to think about it but I wont get anything until I am 100% happy Im not going to permanently mark myself with anything I will regret in 6 months.
