Reward for meeting weight loss goal



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so I am up just day dreaming before work about how I want to reward myself for meeting me weight loss goal.

I think I want to plan a vacation outside the country, maybe close to home since there are still so many places I have never seen.

Do/did any of you have any weight loss rewards planned? If so, what are/were they?

It has been too many discouraging post lately, so I want to have happy thoughts!❤

Fyi: I am only 2 months post-op so I have some months a head of me. But, this helps me to stay focused when I exercise and eat.

I buy shoes at milestones. I don't have anything big planned for goal weight, though.

I want to do electrolysis so I never have to shave again! Might be too pricey though.

Looking forward to hearing what other people are doing.

I wrote a list of goals/rewards. Like swimming with sharks at the zoo when I am 30 under the limit or that indoor flying thing. I have small ones like shoes, new outfits along the way as well.

I made a goal to be able to ride amusement park rides by my birthday (September surgery is January 23rd) also small goals like being comfortable in booths at restaurants, no seat belt extender on airplanes, I also plan on buying this cute shirt and making it a goal to be able to fit in it. Nothing for when I meet my weight loss goal

I don't really have a "number" in mind I want to get to so when I get to the point that I am happy with the way I look and feel fit and healthy I plan to buy a whole new wardrobe, and get plenty of tattoos..

My surgery was 11/28/16 & I'm down 30lbs so far. When I was waiting to go into surgery, my parents told me that they would take me shopping for new clothes as my delayed Christmas gift lol. So I haven't really thought about what to do when I hit my goal weight. I know that I can't wait to fit in some cute shirts I bought in lrg and xl and not feel embarrassed. I have about 60 lbs to go to hit my goal weight.

I have 3 big goals in mind - getting to onederland, losing 100lbs, and hitting a healthy BMI/goal weight. Of course, I'd like to mark smaller goals along the way, perhaps every 10 or 20lbs, but I haven't thought about any rewards. Losing weight is a reward in and of itself, as will be all the NSVs along the way!

I love to travel, and will do it anyway, but if and when I hit goal weight (or close enough) I'd like to do something I've always wanted to do, but never could because of my weight (and lack of money), like learn how to scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef, or climb Kilimanjaro, or go trekking to see gorillas in Uganda/Rwanda, that sort of thing. Of course, once I hit my goals I'll probably be thinking of plastic surgery, so it may be awhile before I can do any of the big stuff.

Oh this is cool! I know I eventually want a tattoo to commemorate my surgery. But a trip at goal weight would be good, too!

Definitely buying a whole new closet of clothes!! I wore baggy clothes and leggings while losing and saving up my cash. When I got to goal it was so rewarding to get rid of everything in my closet and buy all new ! Now my goal to is run in a 5k in June , I started running recently, after that I'm planning a vacation, somewhere warm

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
