    Weight loss rewards for reaching goals

    Does anyone else give themselves rewards for reaching weight loss goals? I just reached my "new dead-lifting socks" goal/reward. I find it super fun and I was wondering if others do this and/or what kinds of rewards you give yourself.

    I don't give myself rewards. Rather, hitting goals inspires me to make and hit more goals. I get enough satisfaction out of accomplishment that I don't tend to give myself other rewards such as shopping or treats or whatever.

    With that said, I have seen where people who are on a tight budget allow themselves a new workout clothing piece, or a massage, or pedicure (or something else indulgent) for hitting a big milestone (like 30lbs lost or something). I think that's an awesome way to give yourself a pat on the back for accomplishing something you've been working toward for a long time.

    Makes me think maybe I should schedule a massage as a reward for.... well, for lifting

    Yeah...I'll reward my weight loss with a big plate of nachos during a UFC PPV event. LOL. That will usually then cause me to gain about 3 lbs. Eventually I'll lose the weight before the next UFC PPV and another plate of nachos. It honestly is a vicious cycle. LOL

    But seriously, I don't really rewards myself for weight loss cause I've been pretty much maintaining a specific range for the last few years. But I do like to reward myself in regards to this hobby in general. And in most cases it is just an aspect of progression. I'm getting more into body weight exercises so I decided to get myself some Christmas gifts...new home gym flooring, a Jiu Jitsu mat and a pole. I also plan on taking it to the next level once Spring hits and I can get a contractor to turn my one yard into a body weight play ground with parallel bars and a few pull up bars at different heights. May also include monkey bars cause they are a blast.

    I reward myself with mirror selfies posted to my Instagram account. Sometimes I wonder how the heck I still have followers. Lately they've been weight-gain rewards though, not weight-loss.

    I think I just requested you. You should probably let me know if you didn't get a follow request, because that means I just requested some random person who is going to be like wtf?

    Nope. I just start eating less, since I need less food at a lower weight. So basically I just get stricter on myself.

    My reward is generally new gym clothes because the old ones stop fitting or get stretched out in weird random places as my body is changing.
