What's Your Goal Weight Gift to Yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm going to have short term goals throughout my journey. But when I hit my goal weight (or very near to it), I'm going to get my lace tat piece, similar to the pic, but no flower. What's yours?

I would like a monarch butterfly after hitting my goal weight to symbolize my metamorphosis.

Reaching goal is a gift all by itself!! But a new tatt is cute

I just had mine ! Bye bye skin :)

I do think its important to have things to focus on, even when you are at goal weight. I have found maintaining much more difficult than the honeymoon phase. So my goal for maintaining for the next 6 months is to have 'hidden' braces to straighten up my top teeth. They arent bad but I have one tooth that needs to sit back a little more. We are all deserving of treats when we reach even smaller goals let alone get down to goal weight. Spa day, special haircut, nails done.. just treat yourself to something you wouldn't normally do.

I'm going to buy one of the cars I always wanted, but couldn't fit in!

Ooh, I hadn't thought of a trip! Might add that to my list. Oh, definitely a breast lift and possibly will need a Tummy Tuck. I'm hoping not, but we'll see.

I want to take a trip to St. Thomas or Miami. Anywhere that I can enjoy the beach life for four days or so.

I mentioned adding a trip, but I live next to a beach so my kind of trip would be Italy, Ireland, Spain , or England. There are tons of awesome deals on groupons for these.

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" <---that being my highest weight. It'd be a constant reminder.

I am also getting a tattoo when I lose 100 lbs even though it's not my final goal.


Awesome! Have you had your surgery yet? I'd love to see it when you hit that goal! Do you know what of?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
