How did you celebrate???



Recommended Posts

It is officially my band anniversary today- and it feels better than any birthday I have ever had!!!! A year flies by when losing weight huh? Usually at this time I am dreading the spring because I cant hide under my layers in the heat! NOT THIS YEAR!

I have lost over eighty pounds and amazingly fit into a size 6! I never thought it would be possible, and I still look at my pants and think “I will never fit those over my thighs” heheh. But they do! It’s funny that I look at my new clothes and think they aren’t mine. I guess my eyes and brain take longer to change then my body!

But more importantly for today—any suggestions on a good way to Celebrate? I met my goal at 165lbs so now all this is icing on the cake so I want to do something special for myself (besides getting ice cream or something destructive!).

What did you do when you hit your goal or had a big band anniversary????

I celebrated my 3rd Bandaversary on the 22nd of February this year.

I woke up, smiled, quietly congratulated myself, and went about my day knowing that I am healthier, fitter, and happier than I was 3 years ago.

DH took me out to dinner that night, but it was actually more a belated Valentines Day dinner.< /p>

I Celebrate every single day, I smile at my image in the mirror and put on my size 10s.

And only 2 years out, I find something else in my closet to let go of.

A banded friend of mine gave me a bottle of wine called Santa Paula. She has been my mentor. She lives far away but the next time I see her, we will share that bottle of wine in celebration.

Cheers

Congrats on your success and your bandiversary!

I don't know if I will Celebrate my bandiversary per say as much as I plan to celebrate when I reach goal. (Along with small rewards along the way). Ultimately (depends on finances at the time) I would like to go to Las Vegas or something to celebrate my goal. I do plan at some point to reward myself with a new tattoo as well.

Yep, I'm with Ange, I'm getting a tattoo when I get to goal, or for my 30th birthday this year, which ever comes first (come on goal!).

I didn't really Celebrate my bandiversary at all though.
