Getting so close to ONEDERLAND I could....

So I am getting so close to Onederland I can taste it! I am so excited because I literally cannot recall a time in my life that I was under 200 lbs (I'm assuming it was about 6th or 7th grade, but I didn't weigh myself then. I am looking for a way to celebrate this momentous occasion other than clothes, since I have clothes all the way from a 14-28 and I am currently in a 16, I just don't think I will need any sizes smaller than a 14 19 lbs from now. Any suggestions, I really have worked my booty off for this, and I am not good at rewarding myself with things other than clothes and food, which I no longer use as motivation!!! Onderlander's what did you do for yourself? Or people who aren't there yet, what are you planning to do to celebrate?

Maybe a little trip someplace, or tickets to an event like theater or concert, knowing fitting those seats is NO issue now! A spa day is good, trapeze lesson, personal trainer package? I have decided a massage every 50 pounds is perfect for me. Have fun imagining, and let us know what you decide on!

Love the massage idea!!!!

Oh so exciting!!!

When I hit the Onederland I was dancing around in my bathroom screaming like i just won the lotto (haha just thinking back on this makes me giggle) anyway - I did reward myself with food (i know i know) BUT i have been so strict with what i allow myself to eat... that I promised myself & my husband, that once i hit 199 i wanted to go to our fav pub.. (i have not celebrated any other milestones or have gone out at all for that matter) so this was a big deal for me...

I ordered 2 appetizers - chicken cutlets and creamy parmesan boneless wings... i had a bite of the chicken, spit it right out... then had ONE... boneless wing and well afterwards i felt stuffed, sick & just ticked - it wasn't the same anymore... I should have gone for jewelry LOL... I would do something special for yourself... or buy yourself something that when you wear it, it will remind you of your journey & how far you have come!!! good luck to you!!!

A massage sounds amazing. That may just be the thing I pick!

I went to Denny's with my daughter 20 days out today!! I asked for a child menu and ordered a jr cheese burger and mashed potatoes!! I had two small bits of the cheeseburger with out the bun but was able to eat the mashed potatoes !!' Ice water with lemon !!

I have been really strict with my diet as well, and the first thing I thought was, Im going to eat chinese! That's why I started this :) I just knew I had to find some other wsy to Celebrate. I appreciate all of the suggestions! There are so many new things happening and learning about how to deal with them is so exciting, but just a little scary :)
