How do you reward yourself for milestones?



Recommended Posts

My husband and grandparents (we are super close and they're like my parents) are going on a trip when I hit final goal. We were going to go to Europe somewhere, but I think I'll lose all my weight before the unsettled tension stops :/

Ooh, I'm loving reading these goals/reward plans/hopes.. they're inspiring!!

I jiust hit one: I dropped down below 210, I was 209 at my weekly weigh in at the nurse's office at the school where I work. Thrilling! But my first reward won't be till I drop below 200.... my highest was 305.

My reward for below 200 will be a weekend in Boston!!

Now I am holding off on the whole new wardrobe until around july to see where this whole weight thing stabilizes.

Already my face looks quite thin (comparatively) so I'm getting all the "Ok stop there" comments, but my waste isn't all that skinny, plus far more importantly: it my freakin body!! So up (down) and onward to go...!! wheee...this is a blast

Shopping is my reward . I plan on setting a goal weight and when I get there I'm gonna clear my closet out and get some nice new clothes :) I'm only 2 days post op so I have a ways to go. I've never been one for mani/pedi but who knows that might change now that I can't find my reward in food like I've always done before

Clothes, clothes and more clothes. I'll even buy something smaller than I can wear at the time and look forward to when it fits. Unfortunately, I have several of those items that are too big now and still have the tags hanging on them :) I just list those and all my old "fat" clothes on eBay and let someone else enjoy them. My end goal will be to have skin removal surgery but that won't be until at least 18 months post-op! When I hit my 1 year surgiversary (4/21/16) I will put on my "before" outfit I took pics in and take new "after" pics. Can't wait to see the comparison! It was really hard to take those before pics but now, so glad it did!!!

I'm all about non-food awards! I've cut and dyed my hair, shopped for some new clothes, taken time for regular mani/pedi's, facials, massages, a ton of new high end makeup, purses! and when I hit goal the ultimate reward will be a mommy makeover!

It feels amazing and at times I wonder if the shopping isn't giving me a bit of s replacement high but right now I'm allowing it because the things I'm doing are making me feel good and hey it's about damn time I felt good about myself!

LO siento but all these "female answers" make me wonder what the male counter part

rewards would be...? A new wrench perhaps? Gun? hammer? Razors, pitbull, truck,clubs, big stomping work boot

?? hmmmmm

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
