Nsv, I Think...

My wife brought in a picture today of my brothers wedding, where I was standing near the top at around 17 years old. We were pointing and talking about the best man in the center. And then I point over a couple to the right and say quite certainly that I do not remember that person. My wife breaks out laughing and can't stop. I don't get it and am like what's so funny. She says that person standing there is you, silly.

Now what is the point and how does this relate to a possible NSV you ask? Well, there have been a number of posts that say their mind has not caught up with their body after losing weight. In this case, I have already mentally accepted my new body sans 150 lb later. Granted I was probably about 240 and shorter in the picture, but still, it got me thinking. I am ready to be a thin person staring back in the mirror because my mind no longer recognizes the fat person staring back in photos.

That's awesome! That made me smile! It's a much better place to be in, for sure. :)
