Non Scale Victory (NSV)

[Elisabethsew 50]

On Monday, I had to work the day shift to teach a few topics at an all day conference where I work. Normally, I wear regular clothes and a lab coat. For the conference, I wore dressy clothes and no lab coat. I saw many people I had not seen for months (170 people attended). MANY people came up to me to tell me it's quite apparent that I have lost weight, etc. It's nice that the loss is showing.

For lunch, 50 pizzas were delivered. I had brought a Protein Bar with me so I took my 2 pieces of pizza to my skinny secretary and had lunch in the office with him. It felt great to have control over the food. Prior to the surgery, I could have easily devoured 4 pieces.

Congrats! You earned it, you deserve it! You've been working your butt off exercising and watching your diet. You deserve every great compliment that comes your way!

That's awesome Elisabeth - I'm so happy for you and that you now know your hard work is paying off and people are taking notice. That has to feel good.

Congrats!

Um, doesn't NSV meant Non-scale Victory?

That's what I have always been told too, Mac.

However, way to go Elisabeth.I am glad all your hard work is showing!:lol0:

Thanks, Mac. I edited it and made the correction. I've been working way too many hours and 3-4 hours of sleep a day/night is not cutting it... finally got a night off and slept well last night so the brain is functioning better now. LMAO.

Sleep is a wonderful thing ... so glad I'm sleeping through the night again, finally!

I read it as a NSV ... so maybe my brain isnt fully functioning yet. Good thing it's Friday.

Ok, here is my non scale victory. I had to buy a new belt. I kept drilling hoes in the old one, but it got to the point that the tail was flopping around.

Bad news is, I lost some more weight, relatively little and have used up 3 holes already. It just now occured to me, that being closer to goal means that my waist size changes much more for every little bit I lose (loose...LOL).

Oooops...I'm drilling holes, not hoes!!!!! LOL

Yep. You go through clothes much faster as you go down too.

Oh, and I hear you on the lack of sleep. Elisabeth. I've been getting up at 5 am and going to bed at midnight!

CONGRATS ... that's got to feel good.

And maybe you're making your holes with hoes? That's what happens when you loose weight you know!

Congratulations! I think it's about 8 pounds difference between one normal size and another.
