How do sleever's celebrate success



Recommended Posts

Once your goal is reached or for those who have met their weight loss objective, how do you plan to Celebrate this major accomplishment in your life. Some may shop for new clothes, while others might decide to paint the town, and some possibly may rejoice at home with family.

What are your plans to commemorate your success?

I think I celebrated through my entire losing stage. I didn't do anything spectacular once I hit goal. I continued to lose below goal, and just kept shopping LOL.

For me, I knew a trip, cruise, any extended plans would be screwed by 'the nature of the beast' we live with life as a military family so I celebrated every tiny victory along the way.

That's pretty much what I'm doing too. I'm a few pounds shy of 50 total now and I plan on buying myself a 40th anniversay Disney World Dooney & Burke wallet. At 75 lbs down I'm going to get the purse that matches. At 100 who knows LOL we'll see what I'm really wanting when I get closer ;) I think at 25 lbs down I just bought myself one new bra at Walmart.< /p>

I am going to finally get family portraits on the beach. While in FL, I want to take my kids to Dsney and have the energy to run everywhere with them and feel comfortable fitting in all the rides. We have a local theme park here and I it was my son's first time riding particular type of ride. He was a little scared and wanted me to ride with him. Well.......I couldn't fit. After waiting in line, I was absolutely mortified and cried the entire time I stood watching my brave little man riding by himself. That was THE moment I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was turning my life around. I fully anticipate going back to that very ride and conquering it just to prove to myself that I can.

Didnt mean to get into all that......but I will DEFINITELY be doing some serious shopping and backyard pool parties. :-)

I'm with Tiff, I am celebrating as I lose, especially doing things that I no longer could because I was to uncomfortable or out of breath to do.

Lifes to short to wait for a date to Celebrate, celebrate as you're along the journey.

First I will do a dance of joy! When I hit the hundred pound mark (5 pounds to go) I am going to announce that loss on FB and post a picture of myself. My general friends do not know about this at all, they will be shocked!

When I hit 145 I am going to go shopping galore! Book a cruise and spend a week in Key West where I will were shorts for the first time in all the years I have been going there. ( have always worn capris). I will by a tshirt in a size Medium in a womans color for once! Maybe even a tank.top depending on how my arms look.

I Celebrate every little thing... nothing major or specific - but I'm constantly buying new clothes and getting myself little congratulatory gifts. I chalk it up as... cool I'm down 120 Lbs so I deserve this, LOL!!! I'm trying *not* to become a shopping addict though. Doing my best anyway!

I am also going to go on a major shopping spree once I do hit goal. I have been putting away money here and there and got a lot of gift cards to clothing stores for anniversary, birthday, christmas. They are waiting for the big one. ;)

      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.
