NSV!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I went to Dress Barn today for some Yoga/Sweat pants. I was on the "Woman" side of the store, where I always go and picked up a pair of 1x. Tried them on Way too big! Standing there puzzled as to what to do and then I dared wander on the "Normal" size side. I picked a pair of XL and L. The L fits perfectly...

I almost started screaming aloud. THEN I tried on 14W jeans and the skinny minnie sales girl said those are too big and brought me a regular 14. The fit like glove. I was so excited.......

I really am excited by this. I have not been a 14 in about 20 years........WOO HOO

Then the guy who does my lawn came to collect the money. It was the father of the company, who speaks very little English. I paid him and wished him aHappy New Year. He said you too and then said, "You look....." and made a motion holding his hands close together. . "Bery, Bery nice." LOL LOL

He is about 65, but it was definitely a male "bery nice"...LOL

Congratulations, Tracy! That is so great to hear. And not bragging at all. Hell fire, girl, you EARNED it!

I can totally relate. One of my personal goals with all this has been a desire to be able to buy clothes in the regular stores, not places like Casual Male XL, the male version of Lane Bryant. The other day I was walking through costco, and saw a sale on lightweight jackets. As usual, Costco's sizes run from Small to 2XL. I've been a 3XL or more for as long as I can remember, and have had to pass things up in so many stores because I was just too big.

Just for the heck of it, I picked up a 2XL jacket and tried it on. Not only did it fit, but it fit RIGHT. I was able to easily zip it up without anything being "forced." I about did a backflip (there's a visual for you...) right there in the store. I wore the jacket to visit a friend today, and I got a "Nice jacket!" compliment. I don't need to tell you how good that felt. It's been years since anyone complimented me on my clothes.

Keep celebrating those NSVs! They're sometimes more rewarding that a pound or two off the scale. Well, maybe... ;)

Dave- I guess I forget that men have these same clothing issues.....Good for you and the costco jacket. I always look at the stuff in BJs and marvel at the cheap prices skinny people can pay!

Java- not all the male attention is good. The creepy basketball coach at my school (who is 70 if he's a day) insists at the top of his lungs, no matter who is around, that I am losing weight because I "Must have a man" now. He asks, "who is he??, and says stupid stuff like that in front of kids and even a parent. Luckily the parent was one I know fairly well and brushed it off. ICK!

Congratulations!!! I fit into a size 14 pair of pants (out of the few pairs of 14's that I tried, it was the only pair that fit) at the thrift store and started crying in the fitting room. It is so awesome to start being able to fit in smaller clothes. Keep it up.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
