What are your 'non scale' New Years Goals



Recommended Posts

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the scale I forget about the other stuff. Things I would like to do in 2007...

1. Expand my business to a larger location (if the opportuntiy presents itself and it feels right.)

2. Save more money towards getting a house. (Stop wasting money)

3. Let go of my children a little more than I have been.

4. Visit my parents atleast once.

5. Be less defensive and more open-minded

6. Be more social and make more of an effort to have real friends.

7. Cook more and eat out less.

8. Work out a financial plan for my future...and stick to it!

That's it for now.

4. Grow my hair back.

5. Have more fun with my family.

Make more of an effort to keep and make friends.

Deal with stress in a more healthy way.

Learn to make eye contact with men. Tough one for me.

Plan a block party for the end of the summer.

To reduce the amount of nagging I do.

To stop making lists...oops, I did it again.

I know what you mean about the casino Cloe, I think whatever we do we do it in a big way!

Lately, I haven't gone because I am able to tell myself that I am saving for flights, fills, and plastic surgery!

I think I will add to my list to not go to the LOCAL casino. I will leave the others as fair game if I feel like playing.

Mookie...that wasn't a list...think of it as a poem!

It is going to be a great new year!

2. Increase the frequency of my love life (with my husband of course!)

3. Potty train my daughter (Lord help me with this one)

4. Increase my workouts to 5 days a week

        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.

      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
