I knew that choosing a reward to get me to goal is a must for me. And I knew this reward would have to be something that would really push me. I have gotten down to 160 in the past and that is as low as I could get my body to go. So...after much thought I decided that when I get into the 150's, even if it is 159, I am going to get a.......
TUMMY TUCK!
Think what you will, judge if you must, but my FUPA is quite big and literally hangs off the front of my body. My zipper of my jeans cuts into it daily leaving a vertical line making it look like a butt. And actually there is not much feeling to some of it and its always cold. It makes me uncomfortable, and self conscious every single day. If I dont wear a bathing suit with a skirt my fupa literally sits on my legs and leaves tan marks :( This may be too much info for some, but its the truth.
I have done some reasearch about the surgery and have seen some before and after pics. It was actually comforting to see that others have this "condition" and that the after results are good. I dont ever plan to wear a bikini. Thats not my goal. But if I can get rid of the self consciousness then I am all for it. I know it wont be cheap, or painless. But I have been on this journey for a long time and I really need something to push towards. My thinking is if we have taken loans out for a boat, work on the house, etc, then I am worth taking a loan out for too... But I have to work hard to get to that point!!

Really?? That's crazy.... So it's basically just loose skin? That's def something worth getting!
I've actually been contemplating this myself. ;)
I think it is a great reward. Body confidence is something that everyone should have and if having this surgery will help you acheive that then that is something that you should do.
I have long said that when I make it to my goal weight, I want breast implants. Not something most people agree with, but its something that I want.
My tummy tuck was totally worth it. Do your research though. Being informed about it helped me a lot.
Brave girl - I'm too afraid of surgery to do it, but I bet you'll be thrilled with the results!
Personally i'm scared of doctors lol. You deserve this--you have earned it.
