Clothes...in ever decreasing sizes! Its great!
An outing to the theatre or to see a film, a new hairdo or a book that you have been wanting to read. Maybe a pedometer, it would help with the weightloss.
For each clean day, I put a dollar in an oatmeal box that I decorated for its purpose -- moving and setting up housekeeping with a friend. We want to rise chickens, ducks, angora bunnies. It all goes to a mutual fund. We refer to it as the Buck for a Duck or Bunny Money. (I made one for him for Christmas and he cried when he opened it...and not only because of all the bunny money in it.)
Pam Peeke, who wrote The Hunger Fix, is all about non-food rewards. A recent one is setting up just such boxes for each of the 3 Ms she promotes in recovery from food addiction: mind, mouth, muscle. Did you exercise? Throw some change in? Did you eat well? Did you meditate or clean or take quiet time to read or listen to music? Throw some change in. Then use it to splurge on something out of your ordinary routine: new trainers or a facial or tickets to something you'll enjoy.
My only reward would be to buy new, smaller clothes. All the other things I would either do anyway, not want to do or not be able to afford.
Rewards for me will be to celebrate what I have achieved. For me that means really thinking about it and smiling, a really really broad smile. Free, quick, and makes you feel really great. Daft I know, but works for me, every time.....
My reward would be a bunch of flowers!
