I have no problem setting goals: completing a race, losing a certain number of pounds, wearing a particular dress. But when the amount of weight I want to lose is daunting or the race is far into the future or the dress will not fit for months, then I have to set mini goals to keep up my momentum and motivation. As I reach each of those goals, it is also important to reward myself in a way not related to food. So I have chosen the following rewards for myself:
205 - 10 pounds lost - cable TV (after not having it for 1.5 years)
195 - 20 pounds lost - Goddess Treatment at Korean Bath House in L.A. (post marathon relaxation)
185 - 30 pounds lost - treatment at Kiva Spa
175 - 40 pounds lost - Seasons 1-6 of Curb Your Enthusiasm
165 - 50 pounds lost - Tiffany bracelet
155 - 60 pounds lost - hiking trip to Sedona
140 - 75 pounds lost - GOAL! Trip to Hawaii
Each time I reach one of my goals I will mark the date of the milestone, enjoy my reward and immediately focus on the next goal. So now it's off to the gym...I'm tired of looking at TV with rabbit ears! :-)
