New Slippers
Mr. JM and I went shopping the other day because I wanted an electric blanket (does anyone else find it near to impossible to generate enough body heat to warm a bed at night?). I also had a special item to look for: my first weight loss reward.
When it comes to rewards, I’m pretty easy to please. I pick special things to me, but they usually aren’t particularly motivating to other people. Even so, that doesn’t really matter so long as I’m happy.
Having lost 5% of my body weight, I got to pick out a new pair of slippers. My old slippers were falling apart and I’d had them since before I moved here, so I was due for a new pair. Plus, I reckon there isn’t much better in terms of foot comfort than a nice pair of cushy slippers.
In the end, I went for a pair of dark blue slippers that are super-soft on the inside. They also are slightly shoe-like, so they’ll hold up if I need to duck outside quickly.
My next reward doesn’t come for another fifteen pounds, but it will be worth the work and the wait. I get to buy myself a new pajama set. Mmm. I know that might not be the ideal reward for anyone else, but I do love me a set of quality pajamas. Especially given that I work in my pajamas 50% of the time anyway. (Probably one of the top three perks of working from home.)
Even though I’m still emotionally fragile with everything going on, I’m still at a more peaceful part of my mind. I know that this is going to take a while, but I’m in no particular hurry. I just want to be healthy for the first time in my life.
And rock out in my new pajamas. Haha.

Ah, slippers! What an excellent reward! Enjoy, and pretty soon you’ll be in your new pajamas too!
