I Would Like To Treat Myself

[o00 494]

A massage sounds like a nice reward.

I've been mulling over what I'm going to do when I hit goal weight. Not sure yet.

I could always do like Mrs Name Change (from the "with a new body comes....." thread) and start romping around with multiple partners and getting my rocks off......never telling my wife, of course, thus exposing her to everything I've been exposing myself to. Sport humping. Being a regular old Dirk Diggler.

But then again.......I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror and would no longer have a shred of self-respect.

There are better rewards (fun things to spend money on besides doctor's bills....gotta love improved health).

My old pickup is going to need replacing at some point......a new ride would be nice. May hang onto to the old truck and use if for hunting and such......and get something sportier and fun to drive. Yeah, that's it....that's the ticket !!!!!!

Once I hit my goal I would like to paraglide, or jump out of a plane. Maybe a hot air balloon ride will suffice. My challenge is to face my fear of height.

Much respect.

There is absolutely no way that I'm doing any of those things. My fear of heights will have to remain unchecked.

I got one a few months after surgery. I waited that long because I still had/have issues getting on and off the table. After I hit 100 pounds lost I went ahead and made an appointment.

It's time for me to schedule another massage!

Speaking as a massage therapist go and get that massage its actually really good for you and will help you heal faster as massage reduces inflammation in the body pushes Fluid into the places it should go and helps lower blood pressure

I'm sold!

Gonna try to get one in on Saturday.

A birthday present from me to me.

(Yesterday I turned the BIG HUGE SCARY 4-0!!!!!)

I went skydiving once.

And broke my ankle.

I have the worst luck!

Seriously!

I was thinking for a treat to myself learn how to swim. Like really swim. Like put my face under Water without plugging my nose and not thinking I'm gonna die.

I almost drown when I was a kid.

See? Worst. Luck. Ever.

Hahaha

Or maybe I'll learn how to ballroom dance or hip hop!

Or twerk.

Maybe twerk.

Yeah twerk, that's it!!

And ride a wrecking ball all naked and sh*t.

Happy Belated Birthday!!!!

Forty is the new twenty. Keep the party going minus the unhealthy eating and drinking. Twerking sounds the safest of them all. IJS ????????

@@heather5565, Happy Birthday! A massage is a great gift to get yourself.

[sbrainwater 44]

My mother-in-law gave me a gift certificate for a day spa. I have never been comfortable with things like that so I am giving it to my sister. I know this is rooted in low self esteem, but whatever.

You only weigh 215!!! Girl hop on that massage table and get yourself pampered. Tell the massage therapist where you do, and do not want, to be touched. Believe me, they will abide by your wishes. My partner was a massage therapist and the only things that bothered her and the girls she worked with was a lack of personal hygiene. My massage therapist actually thanked me the other day for always being so clean when I come in lol.

If that won't work for you, what about a facial? Those are relaxing and your skin will look great.

I just want to give you a hug! You deserve nice things and you've worked so hard. Congrats on your loss btw!

How long do you have to wait before you can have a massage after the surgery?

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I don't think you would really have to wait very long. If you can't lay on your stomach you can have a massage just laying on your back, or even seated.

I love getting massages and I never felt self-conscious even at 295lbs. I figure massage therapists are professionals and I'm sure they've seen it all! I am going to schedule a massage soon

For my ultimate treat at my goal weight I want to hire a professional stylist to help me with my wardrobe to tell me what looks good on me and what doesn't...because I really have no clue.

[dhrguru 1,238]

I must be one of the few that hates massages. I dont like the pressure, or the feeling of foreign hands touching my back legs etc.

I do have a facial planned for one of my mini goals.

[Geron Girls 70]

My MIL gave me a massage for my birthday. I'm so freaking excited. I have a short ton of stuff to get thru this week and next then I can schedule it. I've never had one but I have a feeling it won't be my last.

[IncredibleShrinkingMan 437]

For Halloween I went to Six Flags just to go on one roller coaster that was size-prohibitive last year. We spent the whole day there and went on old ones as well and stayed for Fright Fest.

I don't buy new clothes unless they become worn enough that they need to be replaced. Nothing gets thrown out or purchased on account of new size.

I reward myself with exercise. Plain and simple. food just can't happen in the way it did before, so it wouldn't be a reward anyway, and I don't really like most slider foods.

dusky goddess,

Great idea! A massage is such a treat! Ask your surgeon, of course, but I don’t see any reason why you can’t get one 2.5 months after surgery. You can ask the masseuse to focus on your arms and legs and stay away from your torso if you’re nervous about surgery wounds.

Congrats on doing so well so far! Let us know how your massage went, and keep us updated on the rest of your journey!
