What's Your Goal Weight Gift to Yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm going to have short term goals throughout my journey. But when I hit my goal weight (or very near to it), I'm going to get my lace tat piece, similar to the pic, but no flower. What's yours?

I would like a monarch butterfly after hitting my goal weight to symbolize my metamorphosis.

Reaching goal is a gift all by itself!! But a new tatt is cute

I just had mine ! Bye bye skin :)

I do think its important to have things to focus on, even when you are at goal weight. I have found maintaining much more difficult than the honeymoon phase. So my goal for maintaining for the next 6 months is to have 'hidden' braces to straighten up my top teeth. They arent bad but I have one tooth that needs to sit back a little more. We are all deserving of treats when we reach even smaller goals let alone get down to goal weight. Spa day, special haircut, nails done.. just treat yourself to something you wouldn't normally do.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of a trip! Might add that to my list. Oh, definitely a breast lift and possibly will need a Tummy Tuck. I'm hoping not, but we'll see.

I want to take a trip to St. Thomas or Miami. Anywhere that I can enjoy the beach life for four days or so.

I mentioned adding a trip, but I live next to a beach so my kind of trip would be Italy, Ireland, Spain , or England. There are tons of awesome deals on groupons for these.

Ooh, that's very meaningful. I was thinking what I could do to make the lace tat more meaningful in regards to losing the weight but can't think of anything. ? I do think I might place a tiny tat on the top of my hand near the thumb and forefinger, not sure what that area is called, that's says something to the tune of "never again 266" <---that being my highest weight. It'd be a constant reminder.

I am also getting a tattoo when I lose 100 lbs even though it's not my final goal.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
