I'm only 7 pounds from goal and feel very excited. What did you all do to celebrate reaching goal?

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!

Last time I lost 100 lbs. and got to goal (no surgery) I got my nose pierced. This time around I am planning on a tattoo and of course new clothes! : ). It is fun to have a "prize" planned out!

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?"
