I'm only about 1/3 of the way to my weight loss goal, so I've got a few months to go. But, I found myself thinking today that I can't wait until I reach my goal because I'll finally be able to indulge in all the sweet treats I've been limiting. And, then I snapped back to reality. I want to keep the weight off. And, while I do allow myself an occasional treat, I can't ever go back to eating as much junk as I want. The weight will come right back on, and all my hard work will have been for nothing. I have to continue to make good food choices (most of the time) for the rest of my life.
This left me with a dilemma. When I reach my weight goal what should I do? Most milestones in my life thus far have been celebrated with cake, drinks, and big fatty meals. But, that doesn't seem like an appropriate award for weight loss. So, I've decided that when I reach my goal I'm treating myself to a manicure and pedicure. It's going to be awesome. And, I've got something to look forward to.
How did you reward yourself when you reached your weight loss goal? Or how do you plan to reward yourself when you get there? Do you reward yourself for reaching other goals?
