This is so silly but maybe some of you remember my signature before my surgery that said "NSV I'm most looking forward to - being able to wrap a towel around me after the shower without 1/2 my fat belly and a boob hanging out."

The reason I wrote that is because it was that sight that convinced me I needed surgical intervention.

Well, just now, I got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around me, and looked in the mirror - no fat hanging out, no boob hanging out, the towel went ALL the way around me like a normal sized person.

I know this sounds silly but it's the only NSV I've had so far that has brought tears to my eyes!

So, at least for today I hopefully won't be too upset about being a slow loser, when at least I reached one goal!

:clap2:

Congrat. It's not silly. I know exactly what you are talking about. It's a big achievment.

Laura! Dahlink! Excellent NSV! just wonderful!

Okay, you've lost more than I have in your 4 months than I have in my almost year. You are on track to lose more than 70 pounds in a year. Hardly a slow looser.

I know exactly what you are talking about. That was one of my first NSV's! Congratulations!:clap2:

oh yay!!! that is awesome!! I want that too!

That's not silly at all!! I think that's a BIG one for most of us!

That's awesome!!! I can't wait until a beach towel is big again!

Do you mean like a NORMAL sized towel? WOW I can t wait.

That's not silly, that's great!:biggrin1:

thats awesome! I cant wait for a normal size towel to fit me.. Though right now the beach/bathsheets are pretty comfy these days! maybe after i get breast reduction surgery those towels will fit better!

Sorry, I guess I'm a newbie still! (Dang, I thought I was getting over that.) What is NSV? (New Self View) (Naturally Sexy Vamp) nah (Nasal Stomp Victim) (Nagging Spouse Vermin) oh I give up.

Good for you, now pose for a picture you sexy thang!

I remember the tiny dish towels they gave us in high school when we were forced to shower in front of 1/2 the school. We were given a choice to either cover one boob or our cooter. I'd like a normal towel to wrap around me one day.

Rock on girlie! That is awesome..... I am very proud of you and am so looking forward to my first NSV!

Friday is the day!

NSV= Non scale victory

Thanks all of you! It might be a slightly oversized towel, but it's still one of my same towels that 1/2 my belly fat and one boob hung out of before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Way to go! Congrats!!

I'm sorry - I just re-read DeLarla's comment and I'm rollin on the floor laughing now. The things some gyms/schools/etc pass off as towels. It did suck being the chunky girl in school and having that "towel" that wouldn't cover anything! Maybe someday I'll be able to use one of those towels, but for now I'm content that my towels I have at home go all the way around me now!

Anyways, I do have pics posted under the before and after pics thread.
