My Diet Motivation Tip: Rewards

I am super excited about getting healthy this year. You know that is one of my 12 in 2012 goals. Even though it's something I am determined to do, a little extra motivation doesn't hurt. I like to motivate myself by getting little rewards for reaching certain milestones.

I recently bought myself some gifts from Mama's Nest Designs and from the Modcloth Cabin Fever Sale. The catch...I can't really have them until I reach a certain weight. So here is how I'm going to reward myself.

I'm going to go ahead and put my starting weight out there for the world to see as well... embarrassing!

Starting weight: 170...bleh


Gift for reaching 160:

colorful owl - silver pendant necklace.
This necklace from Mama's Nest Designs

Gift for reaching 155: 

Cider Falls Bag
This bag from Modcloth

Gift for reaching 150:

Champagne Down the Lane Wedge
These wedges from Modcloth

Gift for reaching 145:

Vibrant Variety Dress
This dress from Modcloth

Gift for reaching 140:

Strawberry Frock Forever Dress

This dress from Modcloth

It helps me to buy the items first and then not allow myself to wear them until I reach my goal. Staring at that cuteness in my closet will be an extra motivator. Maybe I'll even make a sign that says, "Hey Fatty, get on the treadmill so you can wear this".  Plus, there is the added motivation of wasting money. Those dresses won't fit me unless I reach those milestones. I will be so mad at myself for spending the money on them, if they go to waste.

After 140, I will be aiming for 130. Then I'll allow myself to splurge ;)


So, do you think I'm crazy? 
Would you buy clothes that are to small as a motivator to lose weight?


P.S. I have big plans for how I'm going to arrange my closet for extra motivation...stay tuned!
much love liz
