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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
