Will do.

I'm so looking forward to everyone's answers. What made you decide to finally take your life back and have weight loss surgery? Was it for health reasons or for more emotional reasons? Was it one major incident or was a combination of things? I will share my own turning point in the comments section.

Love this, because i think that every single person in this community can relate to what you just said.

I love your goal!!! It's realistic, i'm so glad you feel comfortable taking pictures now.

That's an awesome goal!!

Congrats!!!

First off congrats on all of you for getting closer and closer to your goal weight. I truly hope all of you are able to get to a point where you get to start rewarding yourself with your bucket list items! I'm so proud of all of you. Everyone had a really good idea. It's your life so enjoy it and do what's meaningful to you. My bucket list is most definitely crazy and a bit obnoxious but i don't care. I deserve it lol. I plan on treating myself to lots of things because for once in my life i really want to put myself first and enjoy that feeling. I want to get a brazilian butt lift so i can look like an adult film star lol. I also really really want to become an egg donor. It's something i've always wanted to do but i was always to big to do it. So when i hit that magic number of 125 pounds i most definitely will reap the benefits of being a skinny chick and get paid lol. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I also want a really cute car to match the body.

That's such a good gift and no it's not crazy. I'm doing something similar. I told myself i'm treating myself to the new range rover velar. And i'm going to treat myself to whatever else i want in time because i'm finally able to enjoy my life.

Go for both!!!

I'm with you on the porsche, i really want to treat myself to the new range rover velar that just launched. (One day)

Oooo that sounds so nice!! You guys are making me want to try everything on your bucket lists [emoji4]

Omg i love that!!!! The amusement park idea sounds like so much fun!

What's going to be your own reward to yourself?

You're right about that!

Also forgot to mention that you can also use cloud bread for sandwiches. Haven't tried that personally yet though.

Aww thank you sooo much!!! I read your post before, congrats on your amazing weight loss as well!

@fluffychix awww thank you hun!!! So stupid question, how do i change that lol? I have no idea.

Whoa reading all of these was impressive. At least i know i'm not going crazy, everyone goes through that phase. In my case i have to see before and after pictures to see a huge difference. I have a some more weight to lose (especially in my mid section) before i hit my goal weight. So this is the weird part. When i was heavy because of how i carried my weight. I obviously knew i wasn't skinny, but i never really felt fat either. I was curvy. Nobody else ever reffered to me as fat either or they would say things like "you aren't big enough to need weight loss surgery". But now that i've seen my before and afters and i've put an actual number to the amount of weight i've lost it registers that i was huge (for my frame). Sometimes i still think that when people call me "skinny mini" it's because of where i started, not necessarily because i'm small. But idk. I think like most people it's going to take my mind a while to finally catch up. Attached are my current before and afters. Left is my highest weight back in 2015. Right is right now with about 40 more pounds left to lose. 8 months post op.

Yess! This is me to a T. I used to cook all the time to be creative with my healthy meals. But i'm just so over left overs. Once i've seen it once i don't want to see it again. But i think (or i'm hoping) that for me this is just a phase, because immediately after surgery i wasn't like that.

Does anyone ever still see themselves as the person they were before wls? Somedays i still feel like i'm over weight even though i'm not. Not sure what it is, but i can't always see my own progress at least until i see pictures. Does this happen to you guys too?

Lol. I think i'm enjoying shrinking more than i should. I made it down to a 6, but my competitive self wants to be a 2 so bad because i still view myself as fat. Weird i know.

That's a good idea. I used to live off of my croc pot and left overs in the beginning but now im so sick of food all together i'm over left overs. I think i just view eating as a hassle these days lol.

Thanks!!! I like those ideas. [emoji5]

I'm definitely doing that.

Order something similar from amazon or qvc etc.
