What was your most recent NSV? (non-scale victory)



Recommended Posts

My granddaughter got Baptized yesterday. I NEVER look forward to dressing up. I think stockings should be outlawed. Mine were easy to get into, loose but held tummy in. Tall boots that I purchased but only had on once as it is hard holding breath and leaning over same time. Slid on. Wow I felt like a million bucks. 1x instead of 3x is a huge miracle!

This might not sound like a victory but, Saturday after last, I fell and messed up my knee...badly.

Here's the victory.....I was able to get myself up using my one good leg...hubby helped but he lifted me up like I was a feather! THAT felt great despite my knee hurting!

Went Christmas shopping tonight with my husband and ended up in LuLulemon ( notorious for their see thru leggings and for having small fitting clothes). My husband wanted me to try on a top that he liked for me. I was sure nothing would fit. The largest size they have is a size 12 for goodness sakes I said - no way will this even come close to fitting. My husband, shook his head and took one off the rack told me to go and try this one on.

Got in the change room (thinking this is the very 1 St time I have ever stepped in this room here. What I am doing nothing in this store will ever fit me?! That old feeling of shame took over me again and I wanted to run). Then I looked at the tag for the top my husband chose and its a size 8 - What in the world was he thinking.... Now I am really feeling uggggg.

Not only did it fit - it was TOO BIG! Yaa baby! Take that LuLulemon ????

I've always loved the feeling of pulling down my pants without undoing the button and zipper, granted I've had these moments with all the diets I've done in the past so it'll be a good feeling to downsize from my 20w jeans and cords to 18w. (24days post-op)

My project for this year was to build an underground storm shelter. There was some physical labor involved. I had to move 100,000 pounds of gravel by hand and 50,000 pounds of concrete blocks. I took my time and it didn't seem to be strenuous. I am 66 years old but thanks to the surgery, I have the stamina that I had when I was 35 years old.

That's one heck of a summer project!!

It was something that I always wanted to do. After the tornados ripped through my property around 6 years ago, I figured I had a valid excuse.

Putting on my wedding dress, zipping it up, and yelling out, "Here comes the bride!" And watching my husband's jaw hit the floor.

I went to a festival and the shower house was 5 blocks away. I walked there in a dress with no leggings underneath! No chub rub!

ok i have 2 that happened this past weekend. First... I was folding and putting away laundry and i couldnt find my black jeans. i knew i washed them but i couldnt find them anywhere. What joy to find out that i had accidentally put them in my 16 year old daughters pile!! Im not used to my pants looking so small!! Second... I came across an old concert shirt that i had saved from 1995. Never ever did i think i would ever wear that shirt again. i was holding onto it for memories. i thought what the heck i'll try it on. i honestly thought it would be too tight or wouldnt fit at all. But no!! Not only did it fit its a little big on me!!! Needless to say i have been rockin my Tom Petty shirt ever since!! My kids think im crazy lol!!

That post from @@tink401 reminded me of something that recently happened. I have a tee shirt that I saved for more years than I care to recall. It was given to me by my then boyfriend and future husband. I was 16 at the time I first wore it, and pretty petite at that age.

I came across the shirt cleaning out my dresser drawers in preparation for new bedroom furniture and thought I'd give it a shot. Don't you know that shirt slipped on like it did 40 years ago? How's that for a mind blowing NSV?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
