How will you celebrate reaching your goal?



Recommended Posts

Im taking a cruise when i reach goal weight because I've always dreaded and avoided vacations in warm weather. I don't want to wear shorts or a bathing suit! So a cruise and new wardrobe!

I just reached my ultimate goal weight this week of 165 pounds; it still seems so surreal I step on the scale and still can't believe it. I am turning 50 next year so I have a beach vacation planned for January. I have always loved to shop and even more so wearing a size 6/8 and S/M tops.

I don't know. Probably go for a long hike and have a good cry.

I've been big my whole life' date=' I have no idea what to expect when I am not an overweight person.[/quote']

I was just thinking the same thing! Reaching goal and staying there is such a foreign concept, I can't even think how I would Celebrate.

Worse yet, what do I do after reaching goal? My weight has controlled my ENTIRE life. What do I do when I don't have that to agonize over anymore?

Does it say something about how driven I am when I tell you that my ONLY plans for when I each goal were to start to work on a maintenance plan?? That I had no thoughts of celebrating at all? Isn't that terrible?

Your thread reminds me I should think of celebrating somehow.

This is my favorite! Yes family pictures! I am absent from most.. And the few that were taken without my permission were mostly deleted by me no matter who else was in them or what special occasion it represented.
. I agree. I'm always holding the camera!

Well, marked massage off my list. I did get a massage membership to go every month. New clothes done. Manicure too. Thinking of new portraits of myself for my 44th birthday in December. So many new possibilities and a new lease on life to celebrate!

I actually had to sit back and think. lol I too had not thought about what I wanted or wanted to do after. Just thought about what I'll need to do to get there and maintain. But this is a fun thread to read. Family Pictures was such a good idea gonna add that to my list :) I can tell your driven for sure!!!

I plan on going to a theme park and riding all kinds of roller coasters. You want to know why? Because I won't have to worry if I'm going to fit or not. I know I will fit. I won't have to stress out that everyone will be waiting on me to get buckled! I won't have to be embarrassed and Ill get to enjoy the rides.

For me, getting to goal seems possible (now) but I can say I wont feel like I am out of the woods until I have maintained it for a good amount of time. 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? Not sure how long that is. I guess It will come in time.

      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.
