Morning all, drinking coffee, eating my beloved and hoarded against all others marmite, on toast.
Hmm a topic. How about what is the first thing you are going to do when you reach your goal weight? Or what are you rewarding yourself with for that achievement? Me, we are saving very slowly but determinedly to go to Niagra falls. It will be my reward for reaching and staying under 200. I will probably carry on to get to 170 but my main goal has always been onederland. As much as I want to go home to England I have always wanted to see the falls and it is something mum always wanted to do too, so I thought it would be a way to share my achievement with her. My brother is going to fly over there too.

When I get to my goal wieght I may end up spending all savings on most oustanding area needing a nip and tuck depending how loose the expected loose bits are. aside from that I look forward to getting myself some nice clothes that i actually take time to consider if they are my style. I look forward to finding my style. It will just be great to have so many more choices. I look forward to fitting comfortably in to chairs and only taking up my share of space on the bus. I look forward to standing out less and blending in a bit more so that strangers don't insult me in street. I look forward to being able to move more freely and doing more.0

The first thing is a whole new wardrobe of clothes. I have no wardrobe. I have the few pieces in each size because it's not worth buying new.. but I have and have never had one cohesive, this is my size and style wardrobe.. can't wait for that. Especially as my boss has masses of experience in fashion and looks awesome and will help me find my style.
Plastic surgery is a MUST. I know I will have hanging skin and I have no intention of going through the rest of my life lugging that lot around with me.
I now have some hope this really will happen for me and that next year I will be able to spend time outside because I will be light and it won't feel so hot.
Always quiet here at weekends but I would love to hear more from members on this theme.0 -
I don't know what I will do when I reach my goal weight. Probably wake up, step on the scale and spend the rest of the day both very smug and telling everyone. I'm not a tattoo person by maybe a small tattoo consisting only of the numbers.
If I can keep my goal of 90lbs by my birthday I might get myself a new bike if the one I have now doesn't break in a serious way till then (or unless I jus't can't stand it anymore).0 -
I haven't really thought of it yet except I will get nice clothes. Ones that are too expensive to grow out of. And they will be colorful and girly. With lots of skirts and dresses. And when I'm at my goal weight and we're positive we're done having kids I'm most likely going to get a breast reduction especially if I can get insurance to cover it. And maybe save up for skin removal.0

It is so odd to me that I've never given this a second of thought until now. Perhaps because without the frame of reference of ever maintaining at any weight, it doesn't seem possible. I think the way I will celebrate is just to live my life. Right now, I have so many things I want to do that I can't for various reasons. I don't want to withhold anything from myself to save it as a reward for "later." I choose to live my life in every moment I live, so luckily, when I can afford it, I do the things I want to do. I can't live my life with a "when I lose 20 pounds, I'll..." statement hanging over my head. Sure, there are things I will have to wait to be able to do until I'm healthier, but saying it like ^ this or like a reward system just feels so wrong to me. I know I'm weird that way. I'm glad y'all aren't twisted that way...
Hugs,
