Ideas for celebrating goals



Recommended Posts

i know for many years, I have used food as a reward. Even when dieting, if I reached a goal, let's go get ice cream or a donut because I met my goal. Since life is different, and I am 6 pounds from "onederland", I want to mark this occasion with something better. So my question to you guys is - what did you do to Celebrate?

Great job on losing the weight. That is great that you are not celebrating with food. I used to do the same but I have change my attitude. I pamper myself by going shopping, get a massage and/or get a mani/pedicure. Welcome to the wonderland!!! It taste wonderful and thin!

For Onderland my prize was a bicycle. I had never learned to ride a bike before!

I had made a list of goal & rewards I wanted before I started to lose weight: a bike, a certain watch, specific clothing, a mini vacation... I just hadn't realized how quickly I'd lose the weight! $$$!! lol

I celebrtated my weight loss by purchasing some sexy underwear and bras. I needed them anyway. I normally wear plain ole' white cotton panties and plain white or beige bras. I decided to buy some nice, but inexpensive lacy undies and bras. I'm getting sexier by the day and gosh darn it--I deserve it!

I hit 45 lbs down overall today. I went shopping for new clothes.

When I'm down 100 lbs my BFF and our families are going to Disney World to ride Dumbo together. We did it as fat chicks that barely fit (she had the sleeve too).

      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.
