What's your big reward?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else rewarding themselves when they reach goal? I am going on a cruise!!! As if the reward of a new healthier me isnt enough....a new healthy me sitting on a ship in the carribbean is even better!!!

What's waiting for you when you reach goal?

I have several mini-rewards set up. I got this idea from someone on this forum. For each 10 pounds of weight loss, I will reward myself with a charm to add to a new charm Bracelet that I'll get at the beginning of my surgery month (Dec 2011). If I meet my goal, I'll have 13 charms on my bracelet, each one representing something I want to do...such as the Eiffel tower to represent a trip to Paris, or a pair of skis to represent the next time I ski again with friends, palm tree to reflect my desire to go to Figi or Tahiti, a bicycle to represent a long desire to take a bicycle tour through Tuscany. Of course my big reward will manifest itself as actually doing one of these activities. I look forward to the entire journey, not just the end. I wish each of us good luck on our new journey and exciting new lives.

I will be taking a cruise to Bermuda with my hubby and begin trying for baby #2. I've decided I will not have another child until I get this weight off. I had complications with baby #1 and I want this time around to be better. I was banded Oct. 10, so I'm still in the healing stage, but I can't wait to get started on dropping this weight forever!!!!!

A trip to Europe. I want to be able to be comfortable and walk and do all the things I can as a healthy, normal bmi person. Also playing a whole baseball game with my grandsons. Grandma is tired of sitting out the family games.

I would really like to go on a cruise. I'd like to have a baby more. My surgeon still wants me to loose a bit more weight first. I guess I can always go on a disney cruise if I have a baby!

I bought a new car the other day partly as a reward for surpassing my half way point to my ultimate goal :)

I'm getting a Pandora charm Bracelet for my surgery and will add a charm or bead for each 20 lb milestone.

I told myself once I lost 50 pounds, I would buy a new pair of cowgirl boots (still trying to find the exact pair that I want). Once I reach my goal (or within 20 pounds of it), we are going to start trying to have a baby. I want a baby so bad, but we haven't really tried, because I always worried that my pregnancy would be risky with all of this weight. Congrats to all!!!! Such an exciting journey :)

      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.
