Reward for achieving your goal?



Recommended Posts

While I'm still pre-op, pending insurance approval, I started pondering making a reward-based goal. Like something I might buy myself when I hit 199# or something similar.

What is or was yours?

When you earned it, what was it like?

I "talked" to my Mom. She passed away a week after my surgery - she didn't even know. I had held alot back, and I gave myself permission to let it go.

A Small goal is to do a make over - New hair do for the new me when I hit 200lbs (This will be 82lbs down since surgery and 103 down since highest weight) Currently 252lbs

When it hit goal and maintain to have plastics done if needed for extra skin and tightening and lifing of course if needed

Last but not least when I have a nice flat tummy I want to finally get a side/rib tattoo along with buying a Bikni and to rock it at the beach - I am a jersey girl - gotta love the beach!

I have mine in my signature. The first two rewards I decided on so that I might feel "pretty."

The next two are health/wellness based. I just have an empty spot on reward #3 after 75lbs lost. I have thought about maybe getting some new running shoes or hiring a personal trainer. I just haven't thought thorough it long enough. I am within just a few pounds of my #2 reward after 51 lbs lost.

I have been rewarding myself constantly since I started losing. Every time I can buy a size smaller or get into cute boots or go to an amusement park without the worry of fitting into a ride is a reward. Being able to hike 10 miles up a mountain is my reward.

I am close to goal and do not have an ultimate goal reward. If I had the money, a trip to Maui would be in order, but perhaps my planned hike to Havasupai this spring will suffice. It's an 11 mile hike into the canyon. No way in or out except on foot, horseback or helicopter.

I Think that for me, losing the weight in and of itself is enough Reward for me. But my ultimate reward is a "mommy makeover" and a crap ton of pretty bras!!!!!!

      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.
