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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
