How i will celebrate/reward myself



Recommended Posts

Would like to reward myself for milestones I hit along the way. Of course restaurants won't work. And clothing isn't a good idea since I don't know where I will end up. I already have piles of purses and books, and I can't afford to travel.

I am a knitter but never wanted to knit for myself. So that is my plan- find a great sweater pattern and splurge on some beautiful yarn. Even though I just started this journey I'm gonna start looking at patterns soon. ( I'm not exactly a speed knitter.)

I swear, it seems like the weight loss itself will be reward enough for me. I have enough clothes to fit me until I hit the last 20 pounds. At that point, I may go a little indulgent.

I'm weird and I buy new gym clothes since I spend so much time in the gym. Right now I'm thinking I need to reward myself with a bigger backpack since I drag so much stuff to and from it. LOL!

I plan to treat myself to a professional hair dye service when I reach 100 lbs lost. I am a 30 year home dyer, and it would be nice to get it done by a pro for once. Other planned treats for goals include mani-pedi treatments and spa days.

Saving the tattoo for GOAL! Getting close...down 110 today looking for another 16. Thinking about a butterfly but not sure where I will put it yet.

I plan to reward myself as I hit milestones with short weekend getaways. I look forward to being able to walk around and explore new places on foot, something I have struggled with as the weight increased. The day I hit my final goal, I'll be on the computer, booking a flight (maybe to Hawaii) and rejoicing in the fact that I won't be worried about fitting into the airplane seat, or making the person next to me uncomfortable! I passed up a trip to S. Korea this year, too afraid I wouldn't fit comfortably. Never again!

      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.
