Hows the pre op going anyway? x
Pre op is going fine. Been harder than I thought with all the easter eggs around though. Been tempted but not given in. Damn that easter bunny!!!!!
I want to change my life and I need to have this op so I won't let anything get in the way!!
Unhappy - anything over 13 stone
Acceptable - 13 stone
Happy - 12 stone
delighted - 11 stone
Dream - 10 stone
Pigs might fly - 9 stone

Lovely idea Wanda. I gave it some thought and this is what I think works for me. I know that I want to never be over a 30 BMI (obese) again but I am not sure that my 'ideal weight' will be easy to maintain so I have set myself a happy goal between my ideal & less than 30 BMI.
Unhappy - 186lbs or 13st4 = BMI of 30
Acceptable - 178lbs or 12st9
Happy - 170lbs or 12s2
Dream - 155lbs or 11st1 = BMI 24.5
Thanks for the great post!

Great post, I had to think about this too, as I set my goal to what I should be for my height Bmi wise, which is 8st 2lbs, but after thinking about this realisticly, this is what i came up with.
Unhapppy - 11 stone
Acceptable - 10 stone
Happy - 9.7 stone
Dream - 9 stone
I have been having counselling to help me deal with many aspects of my life including my weight & food issues and among other things that have come out of it is a realisation that I need to give my self " room to move " within the final weight I choose but that I also need to decide on a marker weight that I will tell myself I will never go above again.
my counsellor suggested I pick 4 weights to work towards and use to help me they are as follows
Unhappy weight - a weight that once I pass it I promise myself I will never go above again
Acceptable Weight - a weight that I can go up-to when and if I have to such as illness or on holiday
Happy weight - The weight I would be very happy to be and where I think I could live at
Dream Weight - If I could really achieve my dream and get to a special weight it would be this weight.
Mine are as follows
Unhappy - 14st
Acceptable - 12 1/2st
Happy - 11 1/2st
Dream - 10st2lbs
I wanted to post this as I talked to another Mini about it and they told me what a great idea it would be to share this, I’ve also shared this with a couple of friends who are not doing WLS route and they have taken it to their hearts and have set their own goals along these lines.
Anyway thats my journey xxx
