How did you feel after reaching your goal?

A phrase comes to mind: "It's the journey, not the destination". It occurred to me that many of us that have undergone WLS are at times excited, anxious, encouraged, frustrated, proud and impatient. Some of the most joyous moments I've had in the last several years have revolved around my weight loss. In fact, I get joy from every pound I lose. I was wondering if those of you that have reached a weight you are comfortable with, miss those moments of suprise and happiness? Is there the feeling that "I'm done now", kinda like after you've opened all your Christmas presents - and although you may have gotten everything you ever wanted, you wish there was more to open? I'm not talking about disappointment, I'm mean 'honeymoon's over' and this new person is the new reality. In other words, I think after I've lost all my weight, I'm going to miss the journey, the whole process and experience of getting where I want to be - even if I ever attained supermodel status. Any thoughts on this?
