Do you have an end goal reward that you're working towards?

[deedee]

I didn't have a grand goal reward though because losing weight was just a first step for me. Instead I celebrate each year of maintenance. After the first year I took a trip to the Caribbean. To tie in with weight loss I said that each year would always be somewhere bikini appropriate but last year we went to Banff (my boyfriend was working in Canada so we met there). It was beautiful and I'm glad we went but this year will definitely be somewhere bikini appropriate again.

I love the idea of taking a trip every year as a reward!

After years of rewarding everything I've ever achieved with food, this year a change of tack.

Wowee, that's a great reward. Have fun with it (but stay safe).

I agree that's a wonderful reward, and it's really great that you are celebrating each year of maintenance. I'd like to follow your example, once I actually DO get to maintence (hopefully in a year or so).

Love this! Really too bad you live across the pond! My husband would love to be your best friend. He is SUCH a car lover. (and our kids are too expensive for us to indulge in his cars, boo!)

I don't know how old you are; but, when my DH & I were just dating, he bought himself a Mazda RX-7! I always told him it was his mid-life crisis. He was 38!!
I hope you are enjoying yours as much as he has!
