Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Funny NSV ( well I think so anyways)



Recommended Posts

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! :)

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.

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! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
