How do you define success?

I read a blog about why we gained weight and got the way we are. I posted on it a comment about looking forward. That has stayed with me and I want to define what do I think is success?
The goal of health, too nebulous to ever know if it was achieved.
Being thin? Probably not realistic at my age, but the forum has given me hope of loosing more than I initially thought I would! Do I want thin? or curvy? or just less physically than I am now?
More energy? Again hard to say when I have arrived.
Happiness? That comes from within.
As I am headed to surgery I have realized if I don't define milestones of success ....I will never be satisfied and my frustration will be more than it needs to be.
There is a good chance I won't recognize the good as I am living it!!!
I have come up with no longer gaining weight. I am not sure what else...
I worry about hydration, eating, recovery, meals, holiday coping, deprivation, not having what I need to succeed, over buying and wasting money on things I don't need, what if, what if, what if....I tend to take on too much at once and then overwhelm myself.
What goals have been set and achieved by those who have gone before?
