Goal celebration?

Way to go!!
I can't say I did anything "big" when I reached goal, though I did buy new jeans... same as every other pair I shrank into, LOL. Though I did finally let myself get some nice shoes since my feet stopped shrinking!

I drank half a glass of champagne (and then later regretted it). Honestly, getting to goal was very anti-climactic for me. And I purposely wanted to avoid falling into prior behavior of "celebrating" a number on the scale. I'd done that in the past by either using food or buying myself something special.
I spent my pre-op and post-op months working to get the focus off the scale and any "magical" number and celebrating "goal" just didn't seem like a good thing to do. I realized on the day that I hit goal that nothing had really changed from the day before...and nothing would change the day after. I would need to keep getting up, eating the same stuff, tracking my food, exercising, drinking my water, etc.
Don't get me wrong - I was proud and happy! But by that point I was like "OK, this is my life, what's today's adventure?"
