Rewarding Myself with Gold Jewelry |
| 11/17/2009 1:43:34 AM |

Last year I decided that I was tired of feeling bad and being overweight and I began a journey to not only lose the weight, but also to get healthier. To date, I've lost a little more than 80 pounds and even though I still have a few pounds to go before I reach my goal, it isn't far away. When I reach my goal, I have chosen a piece of gold jewelry that I'm going to buy for myself, and I'm also planning to take a hot air balloon ride, something that I've always wanted to do. Hopefully my husband or best friend will go along for the ride, but if not, I'll do it alone.
One thing that I've learned during this journey is to reward myself along the way with my successes. I've actually done that with gold jewelry. I know, gold jewelry may sound like an expensive way to reward myself for losing weight, but I feel that I'm worth it. I have invested so much into this process, into getting healthier, and for each small milestone I decided to reward myself with a piece of gold jewelry.
This past week was another milestone- another 20 pounds lost, and I have chosen and ordered my next piece of gold jewelry. This time my choice was 14k Hammered Disc W/ Fish Hook Earrings that I found for a great price at A1 Jewelry Online who can be found by visiting www.a1jewelryonline.com. When I tell people that I give myself gold jewelry as a reward, many get the impression that I'm spending hundreds of dollars with each goal that I meet, but nothing could be further from the truth. As you can see from the price of these gold jewelry earrings that I just ordered, they are extremely affordable.
Another thing that allows me to buy gold jewelry when I reach my goals is the fact that I order everything online. I pay a fraction of the price for gold jewelry online that I would in a department or jewelry store, and this makes it more than affordable for me to treat myself to this little indulgence when I reach each new goal. When I reach my ultimate goal, the piece of gold jewelry that I have chosen is more expensive, but I feel as though it's the end of the weight loss journey and the beginning of the journey to keep the weight off and I deserve it. It has not been an easy road, but it's so worth it. |
