Non-Food Rewards

[pandora]

It's a tough mind-set to change (at least for me), but how are people rewarding weight-loss milestones in non-food ways?

Usually my hubby & I treat ourselves by dining out. (Hmmm... do I see some correlation to the overweight thing?) But of course, now I'd like to find something better.

When you hit that goal, how do you reward yourself? New clothes? Massage? I'd love some fun ideas!

they both sound perfect to me...I know...here's an idea....

how about a massage AND some new clothes....lol....you've earned it right??!!!!!!

That is always a treat....Also buy some new shoes, fun, fun ,fun... new pocket books...... there are so many ways to spoil yourself for a job well done...........

How about something exercise related? A session with a personal trainer? Some new exercise outfits? A heart rate monitor? Kind of double up with a reward that will lead to future rewards!! :Jump Rope:

RedRox your the best with advice, but I got to tell ya honey that one welllllllll its just not as fun as buying new shoes..........(teeeeeheeeeee)

[RedRox]

They could be new cross trainers!! woo-hooo!!!!

Ooh, good answers! LOVE the shoes! And Red, I think your suggestion is great: a special purchase that promotes the cause.

Great for hurricane season...LMAO... OH I HOPE THIS PIC COMES OUT

too funny! I can't even imagine why those would have been created other than as a joke? but i suspect they would be an expensive joke! If you have ever tried to walk on land with actual swimfins, you know it's a challenge anyway and the best way is to walk backwards which I would presume to be even more challenging task in heels. might satisfy the exercise and shopping needs all in one purchase though! (and I can't believe we don't have a LOL or LMAO or ROFL emoticon on this forum!)
