What Are Some On Your Mini Goals?



Recommended Posts

I had some of the same goals already listed - fit into an airplane seat when I traveled - be able to shop for nicer looking clothes. Here are some that were mine that haven't been listed yet:

- Weigh less than my husband - DONE

- Wear my wedding rings again - DONE - they are now loose!

- Be smaller than my husband's ex wife the next time I had to see her at an extended family gathering. - DONE

- Be able to select from a wide variety of positions to put my body in with ease and grace - I'm really enjoying this one

- Not be the "Fat" sister at the Christmas celebration - DONE

- Have formal portraits taken with my husband, son, daughter in law and two grandkids - DONE

- Not have anything in my closet that is too little to wear - Almost there - still have a few to go

- Get rid of any clothes that don't look terrific on me - I am no longer settling for "it fits, it's OK" - this is a continuous process during the weight loss phase for me. I need to do another sweep of my closet and get rid of more things. I want to live in two closets - one in season, one out of season. No more clothes of every size squirrelled away all over the place.

SKCunningham,

Great points about the clothes. So tired of boxes in storage and honestly now, I am no longer saving. If they do not fit or look great and are in style they go.

I LOVE crossing my legs like a lady. It has been longer than 20 years and I find myself doing it all the time!

Keep up all the good work!

PS just noticed this was in the twenties group sorry I am twice that age but I do have a 24 year old beautiful daughter :)

You all have some great mini goals and I can't relate to a lot of them :)

- Being able to shop in regular department stores

- Being able to go into a job interview without weight discrimination

- Being able to fit into the same uniform that my teammates wear

- Being able to run a marathon, if I wanted to

- Being full of energy during the moments that matter (I want to be able to have a full play date with my nephew without tiring after two hours)

- Being witness to my brother being proud to say that I'm his sister when in public (My brother is proud of all of my accomplishments and I know he loves me, but I sometimes think that being large makes him fearfull of the public judging me)

- Being able to see the look on my exes faces when they see me in my new body

It seems like alot, but these goals really are short-term and are near.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
