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.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
