I always hear people talking about it...what does that stand for? Merry Christmas to everyone

I think it means non-scale victory, but I'm not sure. Anyone else know?

Non-scale victory. Things like dropping a pant size, getting more notice from the opposite sex, basically the stuff that don't show up on the box-score

Yes, non scale victory. And the hope is that you use them a little more and not worry about the scale so much. Things like fitting in a booth at a restaurant, shopping at a non "big person" store, getting a compliment. Sometimes the scale won't budge for long periods its important to have other things to look at for motivation.

Long ago I used to post the sudden little NSVs that appeared in my life.....it got to the point after a few months postOp where I could easily generate about 10 a week that sneaked up on me.

Some were such as "realizing I could wear my cowboy hat IN my pickup without it mashing into the roof" or wondering whether a squad of carpenter leprechauns hustled around in restaurants rebuilding the always-too-tight booths so I could actually fit IN them comfortably....

NSV covers a lot a ground even when the scale numbers don't seem to be cooperating.

Having to box up my old XXXX stuff and return it to Omar the Tent maker, and learning there are entire stores that DON'T have an XXXX size in them! was another NSV.

Cheers,

Jack, I just gotta say your post cracked me up , too funny.

Merry Christmas if you have one!
