My list of NSV's!

Beyond the 88lbs I have lost =) there are a million other little things that make me happy on a regular basis. I didn't really have an major health conditions due to my weight, but I would imagine that those are the best NSV's for some people; not having to take any more meds, etc. Here is a list of mine...

  • Walking into a store and buying something off the rack without having to struggle to find my size and fit and such. Not to mention not having to spend a fortune on clothes that are in style and don't make me look 70!
  • Not being embarassed at the register when the cashier rings up my pants and then proceeds to hold them out for the whole world to see as they fold them.
  • Being able to cross my legs. I feel so much more lady like. Haha.
  • Being able to shave all the way up my leg without getting major razor burn. I believe that is due to my hormones balancing out and my legs not rubbing as much.
  • Being able to hike and play paintball and other activities without tiring after 10 minutes or being too embarassed to do those activities in front of people.
  • Sitting in the car next to my skinny best frind or sister and not continuously glancing down and noticing how much bigger my legs are.
  • Walking by a glass wall or mirror and being excited about my profile.
  • Getting a Facebook message from my "monster-in-law" stating that I am now smaller than her.
  • Being able to wear a thong without it being uncomfortable and completely lost for most of the day.
  • The old fashioned doctors scale dropping down to the 250 notch, then the 200, etc.
  • Having a lap. My puppy can now sit in it. <3
  • Being able to sit COMFORTABLY in a movie theater chair, restaurant booth, Plebotomy chair and with a seat belt on!
  • My PCOS is chilling out and I've started ovulating regularly! Hopefully a baby soon. =)

I'm sure I could go on, and some of these are ridiculously silly, but they all make a difference to me and make my world so much better. I heart my LapBand and would go through this process again and again and again. No regrets.
