Reward for achieving your goal?



Recommended Posts

While I'm still pre-op, pending insurance approval, I started pondering making a reward-based goal. Like something I might buy myself when I hit 199# or something similar.

What is or was yours?

When you earned it, what was it like?

I "talked" to my Mom. She passed away a week after my surgery - she didn't even know. I had held alot back, and I gave myself permission to let it go.

A Small goal is to do a make over - New hair do for the new me when I hit 200lbs (This will be 82lbs down since surgery and 103 down since highest weight) Currently 252lbs

When it hit goal and maintain to have plastics done if needed for extra skin and tightening and lifing of course if needed

Last but not least when I have a nice flat tummy I want to finally get a side/rib tattoo along with buying a Bikni and to rock it at the beach - I am a jersey girl - gotta love the beach!

I have mine in my signature. The first two rewards I decided on so that I might feel "pretty."

The next two are health/wellness based. I just have an empty spot on reward #3 after 75lbs lost. I have thought about maybe getting some new running shoes or hiring a personal trainer. I just haven't thought thorough it long enough. I am within just a few pounds of my #2 reward after 51 lbs lost.

I have been rewarding myself constantly since I started losing. Every time I can buy a size smaller or get into cute boots or go to an amusement park without the worry of fitting into a ride is a reward. Being able to hike 10 miles up a mountain is my reward.

I am close to goal and do not have an ultimate goal reward. If I had the money, a trip to Maui would be in order, but perhaps my planned hike to Havasupai this spring will suffice. It's an 11 mile hike into the canyon. No way in or out except on foot, horseback or helicopter.

I Think that for me, losing the weight in and of itself is enough Reward for me. But my ultimate reward is a "mommy makeover" and a crap ton of pretty bras!!!!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
