Non Scale Victories I tell mine you tell yours

Today 4 dresses that didn't fit 3 weeks ago fit me 3 18's and one 16, the 16 I probably shouldn't wear until I lose another 10 but hey it went up over my hips and zipped this time so I'm counting it. That's my brag what's yours?

Our company bought updated corporate polo shirts. When I was hired I didn't even fit in their largest one, 2xl. Yesterday I ordered a large and it fits!!

Having wrist surgery last week and discussing pain med dosage and she said "you probably only need the low dosage, you're pretty small."

Putting on the size small triathlon kit I got on clearance a month ago bc they didn't have a medium and having it fit.

@@amponder that's great!

ok, so I have one. This is kind of funny but I am sure all you girls will understand. A couple of years ago - seriously, years - my MIL called to say that she was at a department store and they were having a huge bra sale so she wanted to know what size I was so she could buy me a couple. I don't mind telling the world I am a DD but the thought of telling MIL my band size was humiliating. She has never said anything about my weight before, but she is probably no larger than a 12 so I fudged and told her 2 sizes smaller than what I knew I could wear. So these brand new bras have been sitting in my closet still with tags on for about 3 years. Guess what?! I can wear them now!! Have to admit. it made me grin ear to ear!

Love this thread!

Ok so I have two...last week at my appt my doc said that if I was to walk into his office today I would "no longer be a candidate for WLS, and I should be proud of my self"'

And this a.m.....my favorite "old" pair of silver jeans fit!! 34x32...still need to work on the muffin top tho.....but I didn't have to lay down or jump up and down for them to fit!

I am a jean hoarder...you know the type who always says "someday I will wear these again"...lol

I have had a new passport since my WLS however I still have my old drivers license photo ID . The Security Officer at the airport looked at the old license photo and said as he scanned my face for several seconds. YOU have lost a lot of weight and a few years! I did the happy dance! To weigh less than what you listed as your weight on your drivers license.... ahhhhhhhhhhhh

It's cold in the northeast and my hubby says at two weeks post op to try on my Columbia winter coat. I was terrified to (skinny hubby) since he bout it for me a few years back and it hasn't fit in a long time. Well it zipped with room to spare. Good news since it's going to be a high of 7 tomorrow!

Love seeing all of these wonderful victories! It's so encouraging! Mine would be a friend of mine told me the other day, I can't even remember what the old Monica looked like anymore. The way you are now is how I know and picture you the old is gone and this is the new norm. I thought this was great because in the beginning my weight loss was the topic of discussion for everyone who saw me, even on a daily basis, now this is just me it's who I am. Love that!

ok, so I have had a crappy few days, maybe even a couple of weeks, so it has been super hard for me to find the positive lately.

But, today I was shaving, and this is going to sound so dumb, but I could shave the back of my thighs with ease. It made me smile. :-)
