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.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
