It's a new week... a new weigh-in. i'm still at 162, but that's ok because of where i'm at in the whole hormone dance. i read a post a while ago about rewarding yourself for losing weight. i always think of food as a reward...i love to go out for dinner or dessert... but that kind of defeats the purpose. Also, it might be a good idea for my long term health for me to let go of that as a reward. i like to have new things... clothes, books... but i'm not a shopper and sometimes feel i spend more time with the stuff in my life than the people in my life already. So... new things or a shopping trip aren't really rewards for me. I'll buy some new clothes anyway when i get down another size. What i really love is "experiences"... doing things with the people i love... making good memories... So, i asked my husband, who keeps saying how proud of me he is, to help me out in the reward area. Oh heavens.... i just realized how that might sound. No, this is not x-rated! I'm talking mystery date here folks! I love doing fun things, but i'm almost always the one who plans them. i would be the social director of the family and certainly of us as a couple. So, hubby and i agreed that when i hit 160 and am there for a month, he will plan a mystery date for the two of us. I am so excited. it really has been a motivator for me. stay tuned... i'll tell you all about it. onward and downward!

What a great idea for a reward! I can't wait to see where he takes you. For a cool reward that is fun exercise and a regular date night - you might want to consider ballroom dancing. My husband and I love it! (We're almost 50, but there are people of all ages in the class we go to.) ;-)

How fun!
That is a great reward. I have the same struggle with using food as a reward. I, too, have been trying to come up with other ways to celebrate.
Thanks for the idea.
