I started out this journey with 86lbs to lose. That's a big amount of weight and would take time to lose healthily, in a way I could maintain. Currently 30lbs down!! 56lbs more to go!
So, I took my overall goal and broke it down into mini goals with rewards.
For example, I have a notepad on my phone with mini goals every 10ish pounds. At each of these, I put a non-food reward. My first was a lipstick that I had a sample of and loved the color. The next goal I'm focusing on right now comes with a 3 night stay away from home of my choosing. Another one is getting a tattoo. In addition to those, I have some bigger rewards when I hit "overweight" at 160, and "normal bmi" at 134.
These goals are things I really, really, really want or look forward to. In some ways, they keep me more focused. When I was 4lbs away from that lipstick, you can bet I made sure to keep logging, meal prepping etc because I was so close to finally getting it. Lol
I do sometimes change the reward, depend on if it still is something I want. I even have some some mini goal weights without a reward yet, since nothing has popped into my mind yet.
Anyone else do this? What are some of your rewards? How else are you maintaining motivation on this journey?
