mini goals?



Recommended Posts

I need to make a list of goals and mini goals for the times I am soooo tempted to throw in the towel and give in to my hunger. I need to have a lot of different kinds of food around for my family and I want to eat it like I used to. I was hoping somebody could write a few of the reasons why they want to loose weight, and what some of there goals and mini goals are. I want to post the reasons to stick with it onto my refrigerator, right at eye level! A lot of my reasons Im sure are very common, I will write those on my list of course. Hope we can gather these goals so we can feed our success (and perhaps I wont feed my face as much)

I want to be healthy.

I want my joints to stop hurting.

I want my feet to not get sore all the time.

I want to feel better

I want more energy

I want to tie my shoes without getting dizzy.

I want to use less medication for blood pressure,cholesterol, etc.

I want to look good

I want to be able to (you know with my DH) more

I want to live long.

Anyone care to add to this list feel free!

Thanks

Mine is superficial...but my scale HAS NOT MOVED within 3 pounds up and down since I was banded. So my goals are...

To lose 5 pounds before my first fill (January 4th)

To buy and ride a bike around the lake with my friends at least 1x every 2 weeks.

Along with NSV (non-scale-victory) goals, I have mini scale goals. My first goal was to reach 250 lbs, from 280. Then 230, then 210, etc. Just little milestones.

I like to set dates as goals for myself. My first big one is April next year, I've been a part of an online group for over 3 years now, we're an Australia wide thing, but I got to know all the Melbourne girls in real life very quickly, its really a big mothers group, we got to know each other on a pregnancy forum and it blossomed from there. We've had one national meet this year, and are having the next in Melbourne in April. I want to be 90kg by then, I'm down to 108 so it's maybe doable, will take a bit of dedication as its a bit over a kilo a week. I give myself permission not to be disappointed if I dont make it as it is a bit ambitious but I'm going to try. Lots of the Sydney and Brisbane girls I havent seen since May so it'll be a big change.

After that, I'm going to go like the blazes till I get back to a size 16, then I'll set more goals from there.

For getting to 90kg I'm going to reward myself with the new bio-ionic hair retexturising, turn my frizzy hair into a glossy mane!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
