A List of Goals



Recommended Posts

I figured I would start a list of goals. I've heard that if goals are spoken aloud and/or written down, the chance of attaining them increases. So, I figured that I would give it a shot. Please share yours as well!

Goal: To reach "onederland" by April 6th. Very steep goal (70 lbs. to go), but I'm determined to do it. My sister-in-law is getting married later that month and I want to be able to wear anything that I want! As of right now, I have my eye on a really cute, pale-yellow tea-length number by Jim Hjelm:

hi Trixie, i believe its true to if you say it visualise it and write it down then there's more chance it will happen. I know a bloke who goes out in the middle of a field and shouts to the cosmos, he swears by it. Yellow sounds dreamy.

I will be 180 lbs. by my b'day on Jan 18th. I will exercise 3x a week 1 hour each in January. By June 2008 I will be at meerly "overweight" at 150 lbs.

Not only goals but affirmations.

I'd love to be at ONEderland by the time we go to DisneyWorld 4/5. Basically that's 10 lbs per month. At this point, I don't know what's realistic, KWIM? I don't want to set a goal that is so far out that that I can't even get close, and then I get all discouraged about it. It sure would be awesome to be able to ride what I want and not worry about fitting into the seats though!

Also, as soon as I'm cleared, I'd like to drag my lazy butt to Curves 3-4 times per week. I need to pull my rebounder out too; that may be a little bit longer though, the very idea of bouncing has my insides all quivery.

      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.
