Non Scale Victories

[Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 1,003]

Cycling on a real bike without an electric motor, making it all the way to work and then home AND looking like I fit.

When I started this journey, sitting on my bike with its skinny tyres in my red jacket, I always thought I looked a bit like a candy apple!!

Today I discovered completely by accident that I can wrap a bath towel around me comfortably. No more need for extra large bath “sheets”! Omg!

Similar to towels fitting comfortably ...

Hotel robes - Not only do they fit, but they have plenty of extra room to wrap around me!

It's crazy the amount of ordinary things that you cannot enjoy when you are a certain size. I have a long way to go before I am anywhere near your loss, but I am beyond thrilled with the progress so far. So many things that thin people take for granted that I am so happy about.

Omgggg. I went overseas and ALL of the towels there were like... hand towels on me. I could barely cover a boob. So embarrassing! That'll be a nice thing to experience. lol!

Today my pants fell down at work. Does that count as a victory?

(No one was in the hallway at the time so... thank god for that. lmao.) I'm riding out these baggy pants as long as humanly possible.

Yaaaas! Whenever we’d stay in a hotel, my husband would wear the robe and I’d be pretty jealous. We were just a hotel and even though I’ve got a ways to go, the robes were massive on me! 😁

Lol, well, that dress is old enough to be going to its own prom (I’m 34, so it’s 16 years old) and this is the first time since high school I’ve fit into it

Wowweee. I'm seriously impressed and it's a lovely prom dress too, you could totally wear that as an evening dress now!

So, I bought some tall boots online and ordered a size down, which I knew my feet had shrunk), and wide width and they were too wide. I love the boots though so fortunately they have a little strap to tighten the boot and I’ve had to make a hole all the way at the other end of the strap so they they don’t look too big. I can wear them with Jeans and still have lots of room around the calf. Didn’t realize how much my calves have shrunk. My legs have always been big especially my calves.

As of today, I am obese. Normally, the knowledge of being obese is pretty distressing, but pre-op, I was "Morbidly Obese", then I scaled down to "Severely Obese". As of today, I am merely "Obese. The next hurdle is to get to merely "Overweight", and hopefully, someday, "Healthy Weight". So yay for being obese, LOL.
