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 know someone who started a Pandora charm Bracelet and added a charm at each milestone

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).

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
