How do sleever's celebrate success



Recommended Posts

Once your goal is reached or for those who have met their weight loss objective, how do you plan to Celebrate this major accomplishment in your life. Some may shop for new clothes, while others might decide to paint the town, and some possibly may rejoice at home with family.

What are your plans to commemorate your success?

I think I celebrated through my entire losing stage. I didn't do anything spectacular once I hit goal. I continued to lose below goal, and just kept shopping LOL.

For me, I knew a trip, cruise, any extended plans would be screwed by 'the nature of the beast' we live with life as a military family so I celebrated every tiny victory along the way.

That's pretty much what I'm doing too. I'm a few pounds shy of 50 total now and I plan on buying myself a 40th anniversay Disney World Dooney & Burke wallet. At 75 lbs down I'm going to get the purse that matches. At 100 who knows LOL we'll see what I'm really wanting when I get closer ;) I think at 25 lbs down I just bought myself one new bra at Walmart.< /p>

I am going to finally get family portraits on the beach. While in FL, I want to take my kids to Dsney and have the energy to run everywhere with them and feel comfortable fitting in all the rides. We have a local theme park here and I it was my son's first time riding particular type of ride. He was a little scared and wanted me to ride with him. Well.......I couldn't fit. After waiting in line, I was absolutely mortified and cried the entire time I stood watching my brave little man riding by himself. That was THE moment I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was turning my life around. I fully anticipate going back to that very ride and conquering it just to prove to myself that I can.

Didnt mean to get into all that......but I will DEFINITELY be doing some serious shopping and backyard pool parties. :-)

I'm with Tiff, I am celebrating as I lose, especially doing things that I no longer could because I was to uncomfortable or out of breath to do.

Lifes to short to wait for a date to Celebrate, celebrate as you're along the journey.

First I will do a dance of joy! When I hit the hundred pound mark (5 pounds to go) I am going to announce that loss on FB and post a picture of myself. My general friends do not know about this at all, they will be shocked!

When I hit 145 I am going to go shopping galore! Book a cruise and spend a week in Key West where I will were shorts for the first time in all the years I have been going there. ( have always worn capris). I will by a tshirt in a size Medium in a womans color for once! Maybe even a tank.top depending on how my arms look.

I Celebrate every little thing... nothing major or specific - but I'm constantly buying new clothes and getting myself little congratulatory gifts. I chalk it up as... cool I'm down 120 Lbs so I deserve this, LOL!!! I'm trying *not* to become a shopping addict though. Doing my best anyway!

I am also going to go on a major shopping spree once I do hit goal. I have been putting away money here and there and got a lot of gift cards to clothing stores for anniversary, birthday, christmas. They are waiting for the big one. ;)

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
