ShoeString NSV



Recommended Posts

This morning when I tied my shoes, it was like any other day, right?

WRONG...as I was getting in my truck, I noticed that the bow was on the TOP of the shoe, instead of the side of the shoe.

((PHAT GIRLS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT!!))

This is my first NSV, and since my loss has been painfully slow, this is especially sweet!!:clap2:

LMAO @ the eyes popping out, that is so true, and I never even thought about it, and obviously didn't miss it this morning, but my eyeballs ARE still intact.

Yep bows on top are great are they not. Just being able to see the bows has been a great feeling for me.

Heheh ehehe hehehehe.

There's nothing like having to undo your pants in order to tie your shoes.

Know what else that means? You don't have to paint your toenails and just guess the other side looks good, too!

Yay you! :clap2:

Uht oh... DeLarla's been in binge mode and her bows are sideways. I never even realized thin people have straight bows but I'm an extremely anal retentive perfectionist so forget about being healthy, I need to slim down to have straight F-ing bows!

That is a great NSV, congrats!

I will now hang my head and admit that at first I didn't even understand what you were talking about when you used shoes and bows in the same sentence. I haven't worn shoes that have to be tied in years because it takes to much effort to bend over and tie the darn things! Isn't that just sad?

well, most of mine are slip ons, my chuckas stay untied most of the time, i just cleverly loosen the strings, and wear them like slip ons, and noone notices. My tennis are being worn today...with perfect purty bows right on top!!

I'll bet you don't have to hold your breath anymore either, do ya? Oh yes, the buldging eyeballs and that gasp for breath when you stand up again. God I miss those things... NOT!

Grats Mini You :)

Ah yes...the joys of trying to get to the toes....I know it well.

That is a GREAT NSV and much congrats to you for noticing and taking the time to pat yourself on the back. Those moments of self congrats are priceless...and a big key in rebuilding tattered self esteem.

Whoot for an NSV!

This is a really interesting one - my physio felt that at my heaviest weight I was contributing to my ankle problem because I could not tie the lace on my right shoe on top of the shoe, it was always off to the side.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
