What Are Some On Your Mini Goals?



Recommended Posts

I had some of the same goals already listed - fit into an airplane seat when I traveled - be able to shop for nicer looking clothes. Here are some that were mine that haven't been listed yet:

- Weigh less than my husband - DONE

- Wear my wedding rings again - DONE - they are now loose!

- Be smaller than my husband's ex wife the next time I had to see her at an extended family gathering. - DONE

- Be able to select from a wide variety of positions to put my body in with ease and grace - I'm really enjoying this one

- Not be the "Fat" sister at the Christmas celebration - DONE

- Have formal portraits taken with my husband, son, daughter in law and two grandkids - DONE

- Not have anything in my closet that is too little to wear - Almost there - still have a few to go

- Get rid of any clothes that don't look terrific on me - I am no longer settling for "it fits, it's OK" - this is a continuous process during the weight loss phase for me. I need to do another sweep of my closet and get rid of more things. I want to live in two closets - one in season, one out of season. No more clothes of every size squirrelled away all over the place.

SKCunningham,

Great points about the clothes. So tired of boxes in storage and honestly now, I am no longer saving. If they do not fit or look great and are in style they go.

I LOVE crossing my legs like a lady. It has been longer than 20 years and I find myself doing it all the time!

Keep up all the good work!

PS just noticed this was in the twenties group sorry I am twice that age but I do have a 24 year old beautiful daughter :)

You all have some great mini goals and I can't relate to a lot of them :)

- Being able to shop in regular department stores

- Being able to go into a job interview without weight discrimination

- Being able to fit into the same uniform that my teammates wear

- Being able to run a marathon, if I wanted to

- Being full of energy during the moments that matter (I want to be able to have a full play date with my nephew without tiring after two hours)

- Being witness to my brother being proud to say that I'm his sister when in public (My brother is proud of all of my accomplishments and I know he loves me, but I sometimes think that being large makes him fearfull of the public judging me)

- Being able to see the look on my exes faces when they see me in my new body

It seems like alot, but these goals really are short-term and are near.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
