Funny NSV ( well I think so anyways)

[Sassygirl06 962]

My daughter and I were on vacation and had walked into a store that we have never been in. As we were walking around the produce section I looked across the store and I saw two people that had on our same outfits. The one I noticed first was the lady dressed like me, only she was much thinner then I was. Then I noticed the other woman, and realized she had the same outfit on as my daughter, I walked over to my girl to point the two out to her, and then it hit me! I wasn't looking across the store at two different women wearing our outfits, I was looking into a big mirror that was placed there ( I guess to make the store look bigger) and so of course I was seeing us....I just didn't realize that I was so much thinner then my mind gave me credit for. I still pointed it out to her while laughing at myself....we both started laughing so hard, that I am sure that anyone else that was around must of thought we were either completely nuts, or just on some kind of drugs! Lol

Well that I consider an NSV right there....not even recognizing myself in a mirror! Haha

Hope you enjoyed my silly little NSV!

I love it!

A similar thing happened to me about 8 years ago but in reverse...I saw a really fat version of myself across a store...sadly it was me.

That is crazy. But now you know how you really look and can feel extra good about your journey.

I avoid mirrors, windows, and anything that I may see my reflection in at this point.

I remember that feeling, but trust me, you should be taking lots of picture so you can use them as motivation, and comparison also...cause while you are in the middle of losing....or even at the end it is very hard for your mind to grasp how you really look, especially when it comes to looking at yourself in the mirror.

Sure hope it gets easier for you to see yourself and actually love that person in the mirror! Good luck!

Thanks! I will be taking before pictures in both my underwear and clothes. That way I can really look at my body but also have pics to share and not disgust others.

You had to feel amazing once you realized it was you and your daughter. I could only imagine how great that must have felt. Great story!!

I sure did! It was a real eye opener on how different I look now, and that feels wonderful!

Lol! I hope that I see someone different in the mirror soon!

It is so hard for our minds to catch up to our actual body size. I still see pictures of myself now, and I can't believe that they are actually of me. I was walking next to my skinny husband ( he has always been thin) and I saw our shadows, and I just couldn't believe that my shadow was smaller then his....that is a major NSV for me! Another NSV that I thought would never happen....my hubby is able to scoop me up in his arms and carry me! It is so thrilling, and makes me feel sooooo sexy!
