What's Your Goal Weight Gift to Yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure I'm doing this right. I think I'm responding, but still getting questions that I answered. Maybe with time.

That's a beautiful tattoo! What a great reward.

I am being rewarded this may with a trip to Ireland!! I have wanted to go my whole life, and to know I will be close to goal weight will be amazing. I will be able to hike and bike!

Take lots of pics!!! I hear it's just gorgeous over there, especially country side. My friend went a couple years back and didn't want to come home. LOL have fun with your trip, it's almost here!

How about Angel's Landing in Utah? That's on my list..

I never heard of it before so looked it up. It looks gorgeous, but I could never do it - I suffer from serious vertigo, so anything that has me at a high place with a lot of drops around me is not safe for me.

I'm using the word מוקדשת. which is the female version of set apart/consecrated/sanctified. I'm using these guys: http://www.hebrew-tattoos.com/our-works I'll definitely post photos when it's done!

I may just have to copy you on this one too. In addition to my lace piece, I'm just in love with yours. Thank you for the site. I'm saving it. I've got the tickles in my chest thinking about the words ...set apart/consecrated/sanctified. He is good! Wow. :) Thank you!

That is unfortunate.. but understanding! It's not for the feint of heart, or vertigo-prone.

I'm going to copy you on this! I think I'll end up needing a small tuck, and definitely will need a breast lift. I need it now and I'm pre-op. Going to tell my husband that I'm putting away money every month towards this. What a great idea!

Oh, I'm definitely getting my boobs done first! :-)

Me too! (They're actually something that needed to be done before surgery, so they are first on my list regardless of whatever else I need).

Getting plastic surgery whether insurance will cover it or not. I deserve the best my body can be.

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" IMG_2270.thumb.JPG.baa4296bcc4e9308e5310fd9f6d43b8c.JPG

Mine will be some high-end fashion! Not an entire wardrobe, but some classic pieces. Although after reading this thread, I kind of want to get a new tattoo. :lol:

Lol i am not quite the fan of Chinese letters although I think it's pretty. If anything else, it'll be Hebrew. But I showed my husband the pic and he says "if you're all (whatever Spanish name he said) then get it there". Lol. Not sure what it was though, but says it means to the tune of "all gangster girl-like". Haha! Definitely am not gangster. ???

      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.
