NSV (Non Scale Victories)

OK so i was going threw all the treads on here and realized that whenever someone has a NSV they have to put it somewhere randomly.. So i thought it would be a good idea to have a thread celebrating all of our NSV's. (i know im a dork!! :))

Ok ill start off, a couple of days ago, i came across this pair of jeans my cousin bought me last year, no last year at that time i couldn't even button them at all (even when i tried to play the whole lets suck my stomach in and lay down on the bed game) So i was curious and just had to try them on.. and guess what I put them on no problem i even had my stomach relaxed. :) what a wonderful feeling. and today my mom bought me a top and i treid it on and it was to big... IT'S LITTLE THING LIKE THAT, WHICH MAKE YOU FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF!!!:clap2:

My latest NSV was last night when I had to squeeze between two other people's chairs in a resturant and realized that there was room to spare!

YAY!!!!! AWESOME NSV!!!!

I can now fit comfortably in a booth, before surgery it was a squeeze and my tummy was partly lying on the table....LMAO

Now I have huge space between me and the table....LOVE IT!!

The other night I had a shirt on that was fitting. One of the women I play cards with said "Look at that, you have a waist now!" Good to hear, and good to see. I hope to be curvy in about 6 months when I'm well under 200.

Last night I was looking in the mirror without a shirt on...and...my back looks almost like a normal person's back...there are scapula (sp???) and they are very visable...unlike before when my back just looked like a hump...there was nothing but fat and lumpy skin...I'm a different girl!!

Last night while DH was watching the play off game, I went to our bedroom to watch something I wanted to on the TV in there. It got a little chilly, so I grabbed a small throw I use to cover the grandbabies when they sleep on my bed, and covered up. When the game ended he come in to the room, he walked in the door, and stopped, and smiled, and told me I looked little bitty in that bed (King size----of course!) As I lay there, I realized, I did in fact take up very little space on that bed as compared to before, and I fit under that little blanket with some to tuck in!

So in the night I thought about it, and suddenly realized, I now simply roll over, in one fluid motion. Used to be a series of grunts, and rolls, and shifts, and more settling----it took a lot to turn me over!!! Now it is a non issue!

Not the type of NSV's usually associated with bed------but they made me happy!!!

So on sat. i just happened to run into a person i hadn't seen in a while he had a hard time recognizing me and when i told him who i was the first words out of his mouth were " WOW YOU GOT SKINNY!!":w00t: i wouldn't say im skinny but it felt great when he said that...

Also that same day one of my friends marc also complimented me on how much weight i've lost and how much prettier my face has gotten!!!AND he never complimented me in the 6 years that i have known him!!!:smile:

I LOVE MY BAND!!!:tongue:

I went shopping over the weekend with my 12 year old daughter and I tried on a coat at Delia'a (for girls) and it fit! I did not buy it but my daughter was so proud of me that it felt great. My NSV was not about the coat but how my daughter reacted and said "that is so cool Mom, now we can shop together"!

It felt so great to see the look on her face! I love my band!

OK My first NSV last night after my shower I wrapped the towel arround me. and half my side didnt stick out...WOW. it is still a bath sheet but atleast it covers me now.
