Ideas: What do you do for yourself at each goal?



Recommended Posts

I haven't thought about rewards for reaching goals but it is a great idea. I think a neat trip would be in order. I loved the link to Galaiee and California. What are some other neat places you guys have been to or want to go to?

I used to treat myself to $1 worth of scratch-off (lottery) ticket for every time I made it to the gym. So if I went every day after work, I treated myself to a $5 ticket on Saturday. An inexpensive treat that often paid for itself and required no special planning or trips. (Here in Maryland they have scratch-off vending machines in the grocery stores.) My nutritionist also suggested buying myself flowers.

That's a great prize. I went scuba diving a few weeks ago... it's easier for me because I don't have my own gear, I just rent. I can't wait until I need less than 20 lbs on my weight belt... that will be a prize in and of itself!!!

I'd actually like to get a Wacom Intuous (sp) to start with. A while back I REALLY wanted a tablet PC, but as my drawing has been dwindling, I'm afraid that it'd be a waste of munny. Of course, if I got one, I might be prompted to draw more... LOL

;) Last time I looked, Toshiba had a really nice one. Maybe I'll go put together my dream Tablet PC and see how much it's gonna cost me :)

I believe Mari means a tablet PC and not the wacom digitizer

Oh man am I out of it!! Sheesh! Turn your back on technology for one friggin minute!!

I'd never even heard of those things. But basically, they're just a wacom on top of a notebook computer, right?

Sarah, PM me your address and I'll mail you a Wacom. Seriously, FREE TO YOU. All you have to do is download the drivers online (I'm sure that can be done). Ya just have to promise to create a DeLarla drawing to share with us.

You Mac or PC?

This is a really good idea! I don't have an exact plan yet, but pedicures, sexy lingerie, massages, and all that girly-make you feel pretty stuff will be on the list for sure.

        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.

      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
