Goals & Rewards

Any personality test, love language or what drives you test out there tell me the same thing. I LOVE PRESENTS.  My love language is gifts & my personality type is an I that is motivated by rewards and gifts. At the meetings people get recognized for how much weight lost & you get a little 5lb reward & at every 5% too. According to me scale this morning I had hit my 5 lbs mark & I really wanted to go to the meeting to get the recognition & the little sticker. I know it sounds stupid but I am driven by these types of things. Then when I got there to my dismay the lady said since I was late for the meeting she would weigh me afterwards, she was busy w/ someone else. *SIGH*  I knew now I wouldn't get my 5lbs award. I sat there they whole time antsy wondering if I should go back out during the middle of the meeting & see if the scale here says the same at home so that maybe she could still give the meeting leader my sticker. But I waited & weighed in afterwards & she apologized even She said Oh you should have had your 5 lbs award today I am sorry. We will make sure they do it next week.

So anytime I start out trying to lose weight I set up rewards for my self.  They used to be food related but I've learned it was bad, LOL.  I am very excited about the rewards I've set up for myself. They are things I've wanted for a while but never done or gotten for myself because it seemed like to much money.
My total weight loss goal is to lose about 27% of my current weight.  So I am setting my goals by percentage instead of pounds this time so every 5% I get a prize.  I don't have them all figured out yet but things like a teeth whitening kit, mederma stretch mark cream, & of course new clothes along the way.  I will post a more detailed list of rewards by which percentage on a later post.  Right now I am just trying to stay motivated.
