Was just thinking since I have my 3 month post op follow up tomorrow, dreaming of my 1 year post op and the weight I'll lose.

I've had, since the beginning of this whole journey, the idea to reward myself with a designer trench coat when I reach my goal weight.

I'd ideally like to be 195 lbs but I'm starting with 220 for now because of my doctor's suggestions and recommendations. I think if I'm between 215 and 195 I'd give myself the reward.

Anyway, I'm soooo dreaming of buying a designer coat when I reach that weight. Having one of those "imagine" nights.

So I wanna know, do you or did you have a big item or thing in mind you wanna (or did) reward yourself with once you achieve your goal weight? What was it?

I'm not really a "designer" type person. I don't like that they always have big brand logos/designs, like I'm a walking ad for them. I feel like if they want me to advertise their brand, they should pay me! I have seen a similar product from a leathercrafter I bought a purse from for my mom, and that's a good idea - thanks!

Yea you definitely wouldn’t like this one. It has the logo printed repeatedly on the vinyl or whatever it is. It’s muted but it’s still there in a plenty. Lol. But I really do love the versatility of this one.

When i first started, i said I wouldn’t buy any new clothes until i was done with weight loss. It helped that I am/was a low-key-hoarder of clothes so i had a whole closet full of “skinny” clothes I could shrink into.

BUT…when those clothes ran out (or just looked dated to me), i was all, eff this, im buying some new clothes that dont hang of me cuz i wanna look good. Yes, i spent on items that I would only wear for 2-3 weeks, but I looked GOOOOOD those 2-3 weeks wearing it! Lol

My one really big ticket item i splurged on was plastic surgery (which i got about 14 months post op).

BEST. PRESENT. EVER.

If i may be so bold to suggest, if you are gonna spend enough to purchase leather goods at the price tag of a small car anyway, maybe considering plastics instead. Its the gift that keeps on giving!

(or do both!)

I plan on doing both lol When I'm 18 months out, I'll be looking at plastics. But once I hit goal, I want something RIGHT THEN that I've always wanted but could never justify. The last time I was under 200 pounds, I was 20. I will be 44 next month, and it may take until I'm 45 to get there. So to hit a goal I've had for 25 years, yeah. I'll buy that LV set because it'll mean so much more than just a name brand purse. And then when I hit my 18 month post op point, I'ma get some plastics because I'm tryna be cute!!!! lol
