NSV: Airplane seatbelt fit!

Had to travel for a retreat and experienced another NSV. In the past, I was always worried about if the seatbelt would fit when I flew occasionally I had to request an extender(humiliating) but usually just sucked in my guy and squeezed into the seatbelt to avoid embarrassment and avoided getting up on flights so I wouldn't have to struggle to close the seatbelt again. Today, I got onboard, snapped my belt shut without a struggle, didn't encroach on my seat mate and was able to put the tray table all the way down.

My weight loss has been slow and as I've become more active, it's been all over the place going up then down so I've been very frustrated. However I have been steadily losing inches and today's NSV showed I'm making progress and moving in the right direction. I'm so thrilled right now and am looking forward to more NSVs.

Good for you! That's awesome

AWESOME!

I could have written this exact post! I'm traveling this week and flew on Wednesday. I had room to spare in the seat belt! And I was super comfortable the whole trip. I'm going in the right direction!

I too had this happen 2 weeks ago!!! I was soooooo happy. I even had to tighten the belt and the tray was so far away from my tummy. It was the best feeling ever!!!

Keep up the great work everyone

Cheers Bec

I cannot WAIT for this NSV. I am flying April 10th for the first time since my Jan 21 surgery. We shall see!!

This is one my goal NSVs, it is humiliating to be flying to Asia and all of the flight attendants are tiny Asian women, and having to ask for the extender, or worse getting a front row seat with the in arm tray tables, because my belly inteferes and the tray won't lay flat... so embarrassing. .. surgery date is June 11th!
