For my goal prize, I want to walk past this one girl I know and see occassionally (and who looks me up and down as if she's judging me and my weight) in a really cute outfit that's taylored to my new skinny body and have her do a double take while I casually walk on by. :wub: Teehee. LOL.

I also like to set lots of mini-goals along the way. My first "big" prize for 100 lbs lost - a trip to Vegas at the end of this month! I have 3 more lbs to go to earn my prize! My next mini-goal will be in about 20 more lbs. - I want a pair of their weird roller blades that Cesar Milan, The Dog Whisperer uses. I walk my dog every day and I think she would love to go for a run while I'm roller blading. My final big goal - nips and tucks all around - I already need to fix the floppy arms, boobs, belly and butt!

Have thought about this a while . . . bought a nice Bracelet at around 25 lbs. lost, so for each 25 lbs to go . . . probably another bracelet, then the 3rd 25, the eternity band (love this idea!), and for the last lbs. to come off, Nissan 350Z convertible. Then I hope to be able to do some traveling (if I can afford it after the rewards prior to and at goal). :scared2:

As simple as it may seem, I want my wedding band resized. It has always been special to me for a lot of reasons, but an incident that happened after I started losing weight has made it even more special. One day I realized that the ring had slipped off my finger. For weeks, my husband, me and some friends hunted for it.

I had given up ever finding it and was very sad. Well, one day we had a new deep freeze delivered and after it was in place, my husband said "come look at the new freezer". I went to take a look, and said "where are the instruction and warranty booklets". My DH said " They must be inside it."

So I opened the door and there was my wedding ring sitting on top of the booklets! I screamed, grabbed the ring, turned to hug my husband and dropped the ring! It started rolling toward a floor drain!:scared2:

My husband stopped it just before it went down the drain, gave me a kiss and put the ring on my finger. Then he said " this is the second time I have given you this ring, don't lose it again" :cool2:

While waiting for the delivery guy to unload the freezer, DH had seen something shining in the gravel of the driveway. He leaned over to see what was there and found my ring. It is now in my jewelry box, waiting to be resized!

I can't wait to wear it for another 42 years!!:thumbup:

I started this journey at 399lbs. I don't know if I will get there or not but if I can manage getting down to 200lbs or less my prize will be a new tattoo that reads "Half The Man I Used To Be"

My goal is a pair of Christian Louboutin high heels. I may never have a place out to wear them, but I dream of wearing Skinny High Heels (hence the name of my weight loss blog!)

Starting out on this journey, all I wanted to work for were the pins my surgeon gave out with each goal...50lb pin, 75 and 100lb pins. They mean everything to me.

But, I did reward myself with a few things along the way as well. I did permanent eyeliner and eyelash extensions just b/4 goal. I bought a new wardrobe for each season. My favorite being a couple of pairs of 7 for All Mankind jeans. Resized all my rings and added a couple of diamonds to each for good measure.

But, the biggest reward I find is just how great I feel. Love and apprciate all the "things" I have rewarded myself with. But love more the "things" I have done for myself physically and emotionally to get myself to this point.

One of my goal prizes is cutting my hair. I get bored with my hair really quick, so its tough not to cut it. And by bored I mean I have dyed it, streaked it, permed it, cut half of it off, bleached it, dyed it crazy colors(electric blue, fire engine red spikes)grew it back out. But whenever it gets long enough, I donate my hair to Locks Of Love, in memory of my sister that passed away. So far my hair is already halfway down my back-it's really thick, so in the summer it gets really hot, and thats one of the main reasons i like to cut it in the summer. So, by the time I hit goal my hair should be hitting my butt.

I know i'll bee getting a tt, breast lift, thigh lift, and brachioplasty, but I don't have to worry about paying for that, because my dad is going to pay for it all. yay!!

I love this thread!! I believe we should all reward ourselves in some form or fashion. I bought myself an IPOD after my first thirty!! (I love it when I go to the gym because it makes the time go by so fast). Although I have one pound to go, I bought myself a Kindle 2 for my 50lb goal. For my 75lb, which I hope to get to sometime around my birthday, I want a Louis Vutton bag!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
