I'm sitting on a plane right now. I looked at the narrow seats, I ALWAYS have to lift the armrest to fit and ask for a seatbelt extension. I was so worried because this plane is packed. Anyway I fit in the seat and was able to buckle my seatbelt without an extension! Does that count as a Non Surgical Victory? I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!! This may seem minor to someone else but I actually have years in my eyes. I have not been able to sit in a regular airline seat for over 26 years!

Should read tears in my eyes not years lol

I love it love it love it!!!! Congrats to you, that is on my bucket list, is to fit into a plane seat without my bottom end spilling over into the next seat or the arm rest having to be lifted up. So happy for you and safe travels.

That counts as a great NSV!!!! Congrats....

Fantastic NSV and congratulations.

Just one small thing - NSV stands for Non Scale Victory i.e. The wins we celebrate that aren't about the numbers on the scale.

Sure does, it is a fantastic one, too!

That is a spectacular NSV. I experienced the same thing when I flew last month. It's not minor at all, it's a massive success. Congrats!

absolutley wonderful for you...You must feel so proud...

Thanks for the heads up!

What an awesome accomplishment! congrats on a great NSV!

Thanks everyone, when I got off the plane my son said right away that he could definitely see a weight loss in me so that made my NSV even sweeter!

OooRah! Awesome, so happy for you. Keep it up. One victory at a time and before you know it you'll reach your goal.

THAT TOTALLY COUNTS!!! That was one of my absolutely favorite moments of my life - getting on an airplane and actually tightening the belt! Good for you!!! Sing it from the mountain tops!
