I can't think of anything I'm waiting until goal to do. I'll buy clothes, of course, but I buy clothes now. I'll travel--but we travel now.
One thing I may do when I reach about 180 is start riding my motorcycle again--and maybe my bicycle as well. I don't feel "balanced" on either one at this weight (especially since my bicycle is a 30 year old lightweight racer 10-speed). The only reason I'm waiting for weight loss is because I think I'll feel more stable with less of me.
Interesting to know I don't have a reward 'goal' for reaching goal.
My husband and I have been talking for months now about going on an exotic trip somewhere. He has been doing this journey with me the whole time and he has lost approximately 90lbs as well! We have been wanting to reward ourselves with a nice getaway (just the two of us, no kids) which is something we have never done alone.
EAT! Just kidding, I sort of want to sky dive. I once called to see how much it would cost only to discover I weighed too much to do the tandem skydiving. Which, as you can imagine, stung!
You can go check out pinterest for lots of tattoo options! It's a really great site!!! most of them are modern..
I actually had an idea of what I wanted years ago, but figured I'd never lose the weight. Now that I have, 3 of my friends have helped me decide on the one I want and design it too! It has very symbolic meaning for me, it's a reminder tattoo, not one for fun. I have no desire to get a tattoo just because it's pretty/cool. The pain is not worth it! The pain of this tattoo is going to be a reminder of the pain it took to succeed, which is the ONLY pain I'm willing to endure! lol
I'm already at goal! And for me I am living my life as my old self ...that has been set free after a wrongful conviction!
I am driving down the road and feel like the hands of time have rolled back and I feel like I did when I was a teenager. So much more comfortable in my own skin Then when I was overweight. I felt like I was trapped in a body that was not my own ..and did not reflect who I was....
Can not believed I dragged around what was an extra person on my poor body!
So I no longer fear mirrors and no longer dread seeing people that knew me before I gained all the weight.
I am not self conscious when going out in public... Even though I am still shy..and do not like to draw attention to myself...ever.
So now when I step out the house I am not trying to avoid having the neighbors see me.
I am willing to try new things.... And not fearful of being the fattest mom when taking my kids places.
-I am going to buy new clothes
-Wear a bikini proudly
-Run in a sports bra and shorts
-Hopefully compete in a 10 mile run, and/or obstacle course based run
-take lots of pictures!
I have a small list of stuff I've been wanting to do:
*Boudair photos! Naughty x-rated fun for my hubby's eyes only! No peeking!
*Professional photos of my husband and I (Had some done back in 2008 and both of us were at our heaviest - want to compare since hubby has also lost now 70 pounds!
*Gir (from Invader Zim) Tattoo I've been wanting for forever!
*Visit a nude beach to say I've done it!
I love reading what you all are going to do at goal! I have been so focused on losing that I haven't really thought about what I'll do when I get there. I'm going to think of 5 things I want to do when I hit goal (hopefully this fall!)
Ok, here's a few things I definitely will do at goal:
1. Buy sexy lingerie.
2. Romantic weekend away with DH (and number 1)
3. Clothes, clothes, clothes
4. Look into tummy tuck and/or Botox (whichever I need more at goal)
Here are a few of the things I want to do when I get to goal (I have a list on my computer that is much longer than this one):
6 hour Wild Cave Tour at Mammoth Cave National Park (chest/hips must measure less than 44 inches, must also be fit enough to crawl through small spaces on your belly and climb 10 foot walls)
Mule ride into the Grand Canyon (must weigh less than 200 pounds with clothes on)
Whitewater rafting on the Colorado River
Go to a Broadway play and get dressed up
Skydive
Bungee jump
Para-sail
Learn to surf
Learn to snowboard
Ride a bike from Canada to Mexico (saw a movie about a bike race along the Great Divide - it looks really hard but very rewarding once you finish.)
Scuba dive
Learn to ski (both water and snow)
Get professional photos
Hike the Appalachian Trail
Backpack through Europe
Backcountry camping in Yellowstone
Throw away all my old/fat clothes and buy all new clothes
Join a dating website
Kayak through Everglades National Park
Go on a nudist cruise (I'm not a nudist but I always thought this would be interesting to try sometime.)
Go to a waterpark in Wisconsin Dells
Get a massage at the local spa
Get a mani and a pedi (never had one done professionally - always done them myself at home)
Visit my hometown and walk around the only grocery store in town and see if anyone recognizes me. I grew up in a town of 300 people so everyone knows each other. The last time I was there was when my brother graduated h.s. in 2003 and I weighed 195.
Honestly that's the only thing I'm waiting for I remember when I first started losing the list was much longer, but then I just started doing stuff on it and not caring what my weight was/is-like wearing midriff bearing tops or going backpacking.
