I Need Your Help

If you remember, I never really rewarded myself when I arrived at my goal weight.  Because for me, the real test has been maintenance.

I will be celebrating maintaining my goal weight for one year with a new sparkly.  A ring.  I'm not much a jewelry wearer so this is a big step for me.

An alcoholic gets one year chip, so I'm getting a ring.

I will always be an obese person in recovery.  Always.  This ring will be a physical reminder for me.

So this brings me to YOU.  I need your help thinking of a 3-5 word saying/quote/etc that I can engrave inside the ring.  You are so creative with your ideas, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Ideas so far that I've received from you on the Facebook page:

  • "12-17-2011"   (1 goaliversary)
  • "Never Forget"
  • "Never Look Back"
  • "Baby Steps"

Some initial sketches of the ring...

I hope to have the ring on my finger by the end of December, but as they say "Something worth having is something worth waiting for."

  7. You inspire us all, and I love your goal present. I don't have a quote but I know that whatever you decide will probably become a mantra for us all to aspire to :o)

  9. Never Forget is too 9-11 related for me... What about something like "I made it happen"?

  10. Oooh, I love your ring idea, love the sketch and the one phrase that I use over and over when it comes to my life is that I live my life with NO REGRETS. Do I wish I could wave a magic wand and not have spent almost 20 year obese and morbidly obese? Sure, but then I don't think I could appreciate all that I have earned so far. So that is my contribution. No Regrets.
