Reward for meeting weight loss goal



Recommended Posts

I have two goals and two rewards...

1) Below 200 pounds and I get these earrings from Tiffany & C0.:

2) Goal weight (150 pounds) is a new wardrobe.

I've been saving $$ each month since June of last year and hit gw this month, and finally started to invest in good quality clothing. I have a lot fewer clothes but I love being able to buy off the rack with confidence. That was one reward. My husband, who is very fit, is taking me (just us, not the four kids!) to Spain this summer. Lots of hiking and walking. I'm ready and so apply that I can keep up with him now!

Mini goals were celebrated with new haircut, investing in some quality skincare products (I think weight loss has aged me!), and a family photo session.

At 100 pounds, I've been thinking about a tattoo. I'm still wavering about that. I may go with a piece of engraved jewelry that has my starting weight in Roman numerals on the back and either Fearless/Brave/ or Never Again on the front.

This summer when the weather is nicer, I'll go ziplining with my kids, even though I'm scared to death of it because I'll be able to do it and not exceed the max weight.

At little milestones -- every pants size - I've been treating myself to at least one pair of pants that fits. I'm also donating everything that's too big as soon as I "outgrow' it.

At the end of the rainbow (125 pounds from high weight) there's a Lily Pulitzer outfit with my name on it -- and a cute pair of sandals to go with it.

One year after goal, I will look into plastics to tighten up anything that's flabby.

I haven't really thought about this but I think it's a fabulous idea!

I think as my reward for my goal weight I'll buy a new corset. I have a collection of them now that I can no longer wear (but I cant emotionally part with yet).

I'm 1lb away from 50lbs lost...Ill have to think of a mini reward for that one...hopefully soon!

I'd like to get a tattoo too, but since I'll probably need plastics down the road I want to wait until that's done before I do any permanent inking.

My reward is going to be hiking in colorado this summer with my kids. I won't be wearing my 100 pound "backpack" anymore, so I'm excited to do that and rafting. Both things I couldn't do last summer.

When I hit goal and depending how I feel my big treat yo self will be a Tummy Tuck. Before I even gained weight I already had a pouch from a twin pregnancy so will be nice to have it all fixed up.

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

I could have written that! Purging my closet was amazing-- I have a lot fewer clothes now but they all fit well. Yes to a 5k, and yes to a beach vacay! We go the beach several times a year anyway but this time I wiil be able to rock a cute swimsuit.

I've been celebrating little milestones with a new piece of make up that I've been wanting.

I hit my first BIG milestone of losing 100 lbs right before Christmas, and celebrated by starting my tattoo! It's in my profile photo, my phoenix. I go back in 2-3 weeks for the colour to be added.

      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.
