Rewarding Yourself at Your Goal



Recommended Posts

Anyone else have something planned as a reward for hitting their goal weight? I have my eyes set on a new Miata (Club Spec). A little expensive for a present to myself, but I also see it as motivation. Been in the market anyway for a second car.

Clothes shopping! I even have to stop myself now as a pre op from buying clothes in the size I hope to become. ☺️

I've been throwing out stuff that gets too baggy all last week. It's hard not to buy clothes now because at this rate, if I buy anything, I'd be throwing it out in 2 months.

I like that idea !!!!!!

Cool car.

Don't think I'd stand a chance in one at my height but a convertible sporty car is an interest.

Mine was supposed to be a trip to somewhere I could wear a bikini... Haven't been able to manage that trip yet, sadly!

That needs to be remedied.

I saw your before/after pics.

You have sculpted a body that's screaming for the beach life.

Inspiring results. Inspiring hard work and motivation.

100 lbs bought me a pair of calf length boots for winter. I haven't figured out what is next. Small amount of clothes has been bought. I'm growing out of it so fast. Hmmmmm...

I grew up about four hours from Orlando, so for years my dad and I would drive down, go to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World one day and then go to Universal's roller coaster park Islands of Adventure the next day. I've since moved several states away and my dad is about a 7 to 8-hour drive away now. I've mentioned to him that we should go when I meet goal weight and he seems like he could get into it. We'll see as the time gets closer. We're probably talking about a year from now because we always go during the off season.

      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.
