DH and I went to eat at a restaurant the other night and I went to use the restroom while he was seated. When I came out he was in a booth. YES, I SAID A BOOTH!!!! Well, I was looking at MY side of the booth, (did I mention that it was a booth???) and it didn't look very big to me. I looked at DH's side and thought his looked A LOT BIGGER. So, I decided to scoot the table as I sat down to move it to his side more, but, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, when I sat down, I FIT!!! I couldn't even believe it!!! I never thought I would ever be sitting in a booth and not have my big fat enourmous stomach smooshed against the table so tight that I could not breathe. BUT, there is another but, there was about 5 inches or more between me and the table...WHAT???? with room to spare...I got tears in my eyes and so did DH...what a great great feeling. I was so elated the rest of the night and when I type about it now, I am getting that same feeling. :whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:Can't wait for the other NSV's that are coming my way very soon!!!

AHHH!!!! That is so GREAT! Now, you're making me tear up!!!! I'm so happy for you. CONGRATULATIONS!!! :whoo:

You have put a huge smile on my face! Congratulations, I am sure there will be many more wonderful moments for you!

I had the same feeling a few weeks ago in a booth. Then it got better, I went to use the bathroom and I could fit in a regular stall without the door hitting me in the chest or stomach. I just opened the door like a normal person. I usually used the handicap stall, but someone was in there...I was so happy!

That is SO great!!! Congratz!! I LOVE the NSV stories...so inspiring

Thank you all for the nice words. I also love to read about the nsv's. I think they are better than the scale moving sometimes!!!!

I can only imagine how happy you are. I can't wait until I can do the same! All in time. Keep posting your NSV's as I truly find them inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing!

Congratulations!! I think you've had a victory for all of us. Funny how we automatically look for those little things, can I sit here, can I fit here, etc.

Way to go.

Jack, I loved that!!!!! Wouldn't that be nice to fit between the drops of water!!!!

I remember the first time that a booth was not scary for me and my boobs were not going to be on the table, it was wonderful, now I ask for a booth!! I would do a Toyota jump (It's a great feeling) but uh no, not yet,lol

That is a great NSV. I love hearing storied like that. Keep up the good work.

Thanks all!!!! These are the little things in life that REALLY matter...not how much we can shove into our mouths....

Absolutely wonderful!!! What an awesome feeling, huh??? Congratulations. NSVs are the best!

i think that is my fave NSV so far. its so nice to go to a restaurant and not have to say "3 please, table not a booth" ...

i, too, actually requests a booth now. yay ... i love my band!!
