Hear me out!
Was given a 700g box of chocs on 15th Dec (a week after I started MJ) & 20 or so weeks later I've eaten the last one :)
Better still I enjoyed my occasional choccy & a cuppa instead of mindlessly scoffing the lot in a few days.
Now to put my sewing kit in a new tin ;)
I see lots of folks celebrating 'Onederland' and similar (which they certainly should!).
When I started on MJ, I made a conscious decision *not* to have a goal weight.
Instead I set a series of Milestones, that were meaningful to me, each one of which I would mark with a treat of a new book / day out / trip whatever.
So my milestones were
#1 10kg down *done*-> two new books (and 2x heated throws!)
#2 90kg weight *done*-> walking holiday booked
#3 20kg down *done* -> new summer outfit & maybe some stuff for my walking holiday
#4 84kg weight -> no longer obese, thinking day trip to London?
#5 80kg weight -> I haven't seen this figure on a scale for 30+ years. (still can't quite believe that it might actually be achievable)
Anyway, the point of my post is to ask for suggestions of what my future treats might be?
And I'm using the word 'treat' deliberately as we've all let it be associated with food (usually sweet & high calories) and I want to reframe it in my own head as a reward that is not food related.
Just this morning reached my Milestone #3!
Saw 86kg on the scales for the first time; so 20kg down :)
Delighted! Haven't decided what my treat will be, possibly a new summer outfit? :)
Milestone #4 is not far off - 84kg gets me to overweight, rather than obese.
