NSV & More

Being new to all of this I am slowly learning the terminology & abbreviations. Found out today was NSV stands for and I thought I'd share one of mine....

The one that stands out the most is silly but significant (to me anyway). I sat down one day to put on my socks and shoes to get ready for work and I crossed my right leg over my left knee... and it stayed up there!!! I was so very excited. I can't remember the last time I was able to put on socks & shoes that way. I make it a point to do it every time I'm getting ready now just to make sure the skill hasn't left me as quickly as it arrived.

Silly I know, but I LOVE it. Small victories keep me moving:thumbup:

I find it easy to get discouraged, especially when you're uber aware of family & friends around you and it feels like they have these expectations for you to be successful...quickly. But I have to remember to stay positive. I'm always encouraging others to stay positive - I need to learn to practice what I preach :tongue_smilie:

I have only lost 40 so far but I can really feel a difference in crossing my legs and my arms!My best NSV is that this is the longest I have ever gone without dieting or gaining weight back!!

I had the same thought this morning. I din't struggle to get my socks on. Maybe now I can get shoes that tie.

I also feel presured by my family to lose fast. I didn't even want anyone to know. I told my mother in law(MIL) because she lives with us and she told the whole family. Now when ever they see me I feel like they are judging wether or not the band is doing it's job.

NSVs are great! It gets so much easier to reach your toes to cut your toenails or toenail polish too!
