NSV: Massage

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

As some of you know, one of my favorite rewards is getting a massage. I had one this week and was thinking about what progress I have made since surgery.

When I started getting massages I wasn't even sure if I could get on the massage table and needed help getting on the table and off. Now, I can get on and off the table all by myself as well as turn over on the table by myself, too!

You're a shadow of your former self, a mere slip of a lass. This is the sort of NSV that makes weepy.

@@Inner Surfer Girl I have never had a massage! I really look forward to having the experience one day in the near future!!! Congrats on your NSV and the new YOU!

That's awesome! Being obese and constantly worrying about those things causes people (myself included) to avoid a lot things they might otherwise enjoy.

Thank you for sharing your victory with us. For those of us just starting our journey it's a glimmer of light!

I HIGHLY recommend it. To me it is the height of luxury!

Totally agree! I have one monthly with someone I really trust - she has always made me feel normal, even at 385 pounds. Can't wait until turning over doesn't result in all the sheets and pads coming along with me!

Here's to flipping over on the massage table with ease! Congratulations.

that's great! I've studied massage therapy for about 30 years. have plans to go to school for it when Margaret graduates high school. I never would have had the stamina before my surgery.

Eeeewwww! No thank you.

With my Fibro, just the idea of some one laying their hands on me and applying pressure makes me hurt.

I realize that massage is wonderful of some people and helpful. It's just not for me.

I guess I'll just have to keep searching for my pleasure NSV. It's out there somewhere.

In the meantime, Enjoy ISG! You've certainly earned your "massage moments". Enjoy, my friend.

Yay!

The last time I has a massage, the well meaning massage therapist tried to sell me all these products to help eliminate Water weight.

She weighed 99 lbs soaking wet. What did I expect?

I look forward to having another massage down the road one of these days.

Thanks for bringing up the topic. It is a treat and I should try to be kind to myself more than I am. That is a good reward![emoji93]
