What Nsv's (Non-Scale Victories) Are You Looking Forward To?



Recommended Posts

I have so many, but one of the main ones (that I experienced today) is not getting a painful rash on my inner thighs from them rubbing against each other when I walk. Especially in the heat, when I am wearing a skirt with no stockings! Ugh!!

What are you looking forward to?

My job requires a dress code of tan pants, navyblue pullover shirt, and a belt so the shirt is tucked in. I am the store manger so the dress code is a must. I cannot wait to tuck in my shirt without all my fat showing! That is one reason I got the lap band. Doing good. I was banded June 4th this year. I also agree about the rashes.

Fitting into regular sized Wrangler jeans was a non-scale victory for me- I hated those elastic waist blue denim fakes from the Plus section. The day I wiggled into a pair of size 15 Wranglers I was a happy woman. Now my 11s are loose and I am thinking about (GASP!) springing the dough for a (GASP LOUDER) size 9.

Other biggies:

my sleep apnea disappeared and I gave up the nightly oxygen.

I can slide through the pass gap in the fence instead of having to open the gate.

The inside of my upper thighs don't chafe anymore- they don't even touch!

I can sit and pull my knees up to my chest without gasping for breath.

My wedding ring fits again (actually it is too loose, but close enough!)

And the biggest and most recent: my husband took a picture of me and a friend who is a professional dancer and I did not look like a whale next to her! I thought I was half again her size even now, but I'm not. I look normal!

  • I look forward to not having to order my bras online because stores don't sell my size.
  • I look forward to embarrassing my son by what I say, not by how I look.
  • I look forward to sit comfortably in theater/airplane/stadium seats.
  • I look forward to no having my feet & back ache from carrying 100 lbs of extra weight.

Due to circumstances, I walked through town this morning wearing my cycling lycra and I didn't feel self conscious at all!

Oh, and then I rode 64km (40miles) :P

Oh I so can't wait until my thighs don't bleed from the rubbing. You should be so proud.

Love that one! For me it was the day I realized that the plus sizes where too big and I shopped in the misses department. First time since high school (46 yrs old).

I agree with all y'all!! My biggest determination.......and my hold my breath moment.....will be looking sexy as hell in my cowgirl boots!!! Not being so insecure about getting on the dance floor and people starring at me because I'm knocking them out with my American thighs....not because I'm the biggest girl out there!!! That will be my moment!!! July 10th can't be here soon enough!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
