What did YOU do to celebrate entering "One-derland"?



Recommended Posts

At my weekly weigh-in, I was officially under 200 lbs; a weight I haven't seen in more than 16 years!

I want to Celebrate but can't think of anything special to do that is affordable and not food-related.

Surely many of you have celebrated this milestone.... what did YOU do to mark the occasion?

(PS let the record show that I'm very grateful to have this problem, lol)

Congratulations! I'm just one pound away and I hope to get there this week. I was thinking a new swim suit might be a good reward. We are already at 90 here in Texas today.

I'm nowhere close, but I plan on going horseback riding and buying a pair of awesome boots when I get there. I've always had really thick calves, so it would be wonderful to be able to wear boots.

As for affordable things, a new swimsuit or other piece of clothing that makes you feel awesome. A stylish new haircut, a massage, a mani-pedi. Something to make you feel good.

Oooh, a horseback riding lesson... That would be a wonderful way to celebrate! I used to be an avid horsewoman but haven't been on a horse in 20 yrs or more due to my wt.

Congrats!

I am about 20 lbs from onederland. I suppose I should start thinking about my "prize". One thing that became apparent this morning is that by the time I hit onederland I am going to need to buy some new jeans. I just got into my smallest "skinny" jeans - size 18 -- no W!!! These jeans have to be about 10 years old and from the shape they are in, I didn't wear them very long. I am taking a load of clothing to the consignment store this weekend so I may have to check out the smaller size jean selection - IN THE MISSES SECTION!!! By the time I reach onederland I may need to get 14s.

You know, I've been looking at new swimsuits as the one I have is starting to get big. I think that will be my celebration. I will have to pay retail for a suit since that's not something I want to wear used. Kind of like underwear! Besides, I am training for a triathlon so that suit is kind of necessary. :) They frown on nekkid at the rec center! :D:PB)

Congrats again. Can't wait to hear what you what you choose!

      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.
