My first NSV

I had my very first non-scale victory today and wanted to share it with my other family!! I have been feeling very discouraged because I don't seem to have lost any weight by what the scale says for the last 2 weeks. Well this morning I couldn't figure out what I wanted to wear to work and was rummaging through my closet looking for something when I came across this red pants suit. This suit used to belong to one of my best friends and I always used to tell her that I loved that outfit. When I had my band placed she came over with the outfit and said " This is yours now. I know how much you love it and this will be an incentive for you." Now it was a size 22 but had been taken in to about a size 18 because she lost weight and just couldn't seem to part with it. Anyways, I had some black pants on and thought to myself.......I wonder if the shirt will fit me. So I tried it on and it did. Then based on the way the shirt fit I said "hmmmm...........I wonder how the pants fit." I tried them on and THEY FIT!!!! I wore the outfit to work today and got so many compliments on the outfit and everyone said they could really tell I was loosing weight! Talk about being on cloud 9!!! Just wanted to share this with all of you!!!!:banana whoooo hoooo :banana
