Time to plan some rewards!

In the past, I've prepped for these diets by setting weight loss goals and making sure I had all these built in rewards, as if losing the weight wasn't reward enough.  Needless to say, I can't remember when the last time was that I actually hit a goal.  This time, everything is different.

To begin with, I'm not looking at this as a diet.  These changes I'm making aren't going to be temporary.  Assuming I hit my ideal weight, I'm not going to suddenly return to my former habits.  Those days are over.  Instead, I need to accept this is my new life, my new relationship with food.  I'm making lifestyle changes.

Watching my food diary closely, I have accepted the current changes are all about convenience, but won't be long term meals.  As I grow more comfortable with eating, I'll be integrating new recipes, new foods.  It's exciting.  It will come in time as I heal from the surgery, which is when I'll be incorporating exercise too.

Still, there is one thing I'd like to do now.  I need to make my list of rewards.  Sure, the weight loss itself is good, but I need to work on building better habits, being proud of my appearance once more.  That's what my little prizes are about.

My Rewards

• For losing 10lbs…a haircut.  I desperately need one.  Maybe I'll post before and afters.  
• For losing 20lbs…a pedicure.  I deserve one.  And the husband deserves to have summer feet rubbing up against his legs.
• For losing 30lbs…makeup!  I never wear it, but I should
• For losing 40lbs…a massage.  I love them and my body will probably need one after all that exercise.
• For losing 50lbs…Victoria's Secret.  I'll be ready for a new bra and panties or…lots.  
• For hitting my goal of losing 65lbs…a new wardrobe.  Let's face it.  I'll need it.  Even the yoga pants will be falling off me.

Have any other ideas?  I'm open.
