What's your NSV this week?



Recommended Posts

I read a post below asking what nsv stands for and I thought it would be great to hear about everyone's non scale victories (nsv) for the week. How did your sleeve make you smile?

This week I successfully completed a whole hour of p90x without dying! It was hell, but I never could have done it 6 weeks ago.

Also, since my last measuring june 8th, I have lost 33 1/2 inches from my body. Yay!

I got back into a pair of skinny jeans that I hadn't been able to wear for MONTHS. I don't think I like them anymore, but at least they fit.

I found out I am in an XL top down from a 3X and 22 pants down from a 26/28. I also wore both a bathing suit and shorts in public for the first time in probably 18 yrs. I even went swimming at the Lake in front of a big crowd!! It was so awesome. I didn't feel like I was the fattest person or that everyone was staring at me.

:cheer2:

I was able to stay outside the whole time the family did fireworks on the 4th. The extra weight magnified my back problems and made me duck out on lots of outside activities. That plus the fact that I can take the heat so much better now.

I've had a few NSV's this week:

-could fit into a size 9 shoe (wore an 11 at one point)

-people telling me that my XL size scrub top was too big

-being called skinny mini at work

and this isn't a weight loss victory, but a victory overall: my bf decided to join my gym!! now we're both getting healthier and spending more time together

I could stand on the floor put my one leg up on a chair and bend long enough to paint my own toenails!! WHOOT!! They haven't seen paint in YEARS!! LOLS :blink:

I got hit on at Home Depot yesterday. :blink: It's been such a long time since anyone other than DH has come onto me that it took a few minutes for it to actually sink in just *why* this guy just happened to bump into me in 3 separate aisles trying to make small talk. :lol: I'm so used to being invisible to others that I barely said 3 words to the guy - I'm sure he thought I was a complete snob!

I have several:

I felt the bone at the bottom of my sternum- been so long since I could feel ribs, hips, etc through my extra padding that at first if frightened me - what is this strange lump!! I had the same issue with my hip bone a few weeks back. Haha - wonder what bone will scare me next?

I rocked an XXL tie-dye tank from Walmart on the 4th and my pants are getting too big. I have one more set of skinny jeans to work through before I have to buy new ones. I tried on one top this week and discovered it had gone from being too small to too big before I wore it. Oops!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
