What's Your Goal Other Than Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

My husband and I were talking the other day and he asked me "have you thought of one goal ... something you can't do now, but want to when you've lost your weight?" and my response was at first "duh- I got a laundry list!!" but he said ... "no, I mean find something you never thought you'd be able to do and reach for that"

Well I found it!!!

5k Run for Your Lives - ZOMBIE RUN!

http://runforyourlives.com/

"zombies" chase you through a 5k obstical corse. I really wanted to do it this year but I don't want to look foolish flopping around in mud like a piggy, breathing like I'm about to die so I chickened out.... next year, IT'S ON!

Do any of you have something your reaching for??? (other than the normal goals)

This is gonna sound nuts... but I wanna be able to attend sporting events, movies and school events and not worry if I'll fit in a seat! I want to do so much with my kids and husband but am so limited because of my size!! I get so anxious about going places, not knowing if i can fit or not!

I love the idea of a zombie run! Wish we had that around here. Thinking about this has made me realize how much I have accomplished despite my problems and set backs. But I still I still want to zipline and not look silly.

I am wanting to run in a marathon. Not a big one, just to say I did. I also want to be able to go to Amusement Parks and be able to ride. I want to be comfortable on an airplane. I want to run and play with my kids. I know, I don't have a lot do I? Lol I hope I can do this. I want this for myself so bad.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
