Reward Yourself!

Good Morning Everyone!

Updates: Kitten Mittens' health is progressing. I am staying on my points plan like a good little, er large, Weight Watcher member. Work out on Thursday night? Only if you call crazily vacuuming my apartment a workout. I'm pretty sure it doesn't count but KM was coughing and I saw a dust bunny and freaked. I had am amazing dinner last night (I had to use a few extra points) with friends and I have a very exciting day ahead of me which you will all hear about later.

So I have been thinking a lot about how I will reward my future fit self. I know I don't want to use food as a reward since I am not really depriving myself of anything (just eating in smaller healthier ways) and that is what I have done in the past and clearly that has not worked.

I need something to look forward to. Obviously my goal is to lose a lot of weight and be more healthy but I need little incentives along the way. You know, like when you are training a dog. Little rewards to tell yourself that you are doing a good job.

I spend a lot of time looking at "thin" (aka things that I adore but don't come in my size) clothes online. So I think my first reward to myself will be a fabulous Nanette Lapore cocktail dress. I love, love, love her stuff. I think that a fabulous party dress to show off my new figure will definitely feel like an awesome reward. My new figure dress will also be a dress that has a color other than black. I wear black all the time. I love black clothes for many reasons but mostly because they conceal what is underneath. Sort off. I mean I still look fat in black but I look less fat than if I was wearing bright pink, or blue or, God forbid, white!

I am not sure how long it will take to get to my first little reward. Hopefully by the end of the spring? I can barely remember how easy it is to walk in to any store and find something in my size. Not having to find something in a "special" size will be half of the reward! Also I would like to know what asshole - probably some thin, fit guy - deemed plus sizes part of the "special" sizes category. There is not a special fucking thing about it. Special is petite not PLUS.

What are some rewards that you have given or plan on giving to yourself for staying on track?

I know that one of my (7) readers is dying to share!
