How did you celebrate Onederland?
I've decided to wait until I get to goal to really reward myself, since I'm so close (relatively speaking). I've wanted a tattoo for years, so I'm going to get one when I hit 174 pounds - "normal" BMI for me.

It's the 3 stars from the top corner of every page in the Harry Potter series... Dorky, yes. But it was the book series that REALLY made me a reader years ago, and fueled my love for Engli****hen became a teacher and have tried to pass my love of reading along to students.
**Cute side note... One of my previous students, whom I taught when she was in high school during my brief stent teaching back in my home town, moved to Chattanooga for college. When the last movie in the Hunger Games series came out, she insisted that we see it together. I taught the book series to her class :) It was the moment that teachers strive for. I made a reader out of one! Success!

Wow, what an awesome reward! I am way too chicken to go skydiving, but I like the idea of having some rewards that are activities, not just things. I definitely want to try zip lining at some point. My dad and I are planning on hiking in several state parks this summer.
I bought 2 gifts when I had my surgery, one for me and one for someone else. I felt so fortunate to be having the surgery and having it covered by insurance, so I bought a cleft lip repair surgery for a needy child through Operation Smile. My gift to myself was a charm bracelet. Every time I look at it I'm reminded of the brave choice I made to have surgery. I reached Onederland about 3 weeks ago and bought myself a bottle of my favorite perfume, Florabotanica by Balenciaga, which is something I would not normally splurge on. So far the rewards I've given myself have been girly things, because I feel so much more feminine now that I'm smaller.
