On Thursday I'm flying to Brisbane Australia! It has been on my bucket list for a long time but now it is a dream come true. I don't have any summer clothes since i have just been buying winter/fall clothes after hitting goal last month.

So here is my NSV moment..

You know that friend you have that the idea of even wishing to be as thin as them is a mean joke to play on youself?? Well she offered to let me use some of her clothes on my trip. I laughed at the idea and told her she was crazy!! There is no way I can get my butt into her skinny ass clothes!!!

Well guess what!?!?? I am borrowing some of her clothing for my trip!!! I almost cried when I put on a pair of her shorts an they fit. I still don't see myself as a size four but some how putting on her clothing made it more real to me. I honestly have a problem of seeing myself as big now that Im thin but when i was big i ddnt think i was as big as i was. Now any time I think I need to lose more weight I just remind myself I'm the same size as my tinny friend.

Also I got a two piece swim suit to wear to the beach. Im still a little unsure about wearing it since my scars are only six months old but Im just going to face my fears head on. I have a new body and I'm not going to hide anymore! It is time to live my live!! You can't win if you never play the game!

That NSV was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun down under with a 2 piece. I will dream tonight about matching my skinny friends size, but a 2 piece is beyond even my dreams.

I'm from Australia so I am biased but I am sure you'll have a great time! The trip sucks - take some benadryl or something for the plane. I hope Aus lives up to your expectations, enjoy it!

Have fun! I'd like to go to Australia some day, but it will probably be after I finish school. There seems to be a demand for Canadian doctors there and in NZ, lots of good contracts, it'd be fun to work there for a year.

I am truly jealous. Aus has been on my list for years (im only 21). Actually, Aus is one of my motivations for being sleeved! I applied for a visa which was declined due to my BMI. 6months later i was sleeved . Have a great time

Definitly an awesome NSV! Enjoy your time down under.

Wow, they can reject you for a visa because of weight? What's the reasoning?
