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.
