Non-food rewards?



Recommended Posts

I'm less than 48 hours from my surgery, and I should be studying for my psychology midterm tomorrow, but instead I have been hanging out on the internet googling "VSG" and "WLS" and so on. That got me thinking that I should see if there's any such thing as a WLS or VSG refrigerator magnet to add to my collection!

DH and I collect refrigerator magnets in a big way. A few years ago we painted our kitchen ceiling with magnetic paint, and now it looks like this:

I went to food rewards for weight loss?

Come to think of it....NOTHING! How creative your idea is and I just love your ceiling. Each magnet must signify something and to look up at them all must be an intrigue! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your home and heart. That is such a unique thing to do.

That is an absolutely awesome idea. . . Honestly, my reward is clothing, jewelry, shoes and socks.

I don't have anything specific to show my progress except the smaller sizes on my clothing tags.

LAN, my hubby travels a LOT on business, and he always brings a magnet from wherever he goes. That's been going on for more than 12 years now. And we like to add to the collection when we go on vacation, or to an amusement park, or a show (we have a "Cirque du Soleil" section, a "Broadway musicals" section, a "concerts" section, and so on), and now friends and family have gotten into the habit of picking up magnets for us on their travels, too. And then there are magnets for the schools we've all gone to, and so on.

It's an awesome collection because magnets are cheap (even the MOST expensive ones are $10 or less), they don't take up space in your luggage, and if they're up on the ceiling, they're not taking up space or gathering dust elsewhere in the house! :kiss2:

Tiffy, I'm hoping my little magnet collection will keep me from shopping TOO much before I hit goal! :scared0:

Oh cool ceiling!!! Wow!

I've bought some clothes and I've dropped a full shoe size so those need upgrading too. I love updating my weight loss ticker and my weight on the online food intake calculator I use (I enter what I eat and it keeps track of my protein/carb/fat etc.).

I'm looking to take in a few really favourite clothes but otherwise I need to do some more shopping now spring is in the air. I think a complete wardrobe clearout would do as a reward, too...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
