Going to Australia - NSV



Recommended Posts

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 :D

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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
