I have a tiny,one,on the eve of Wonder Wednesday. I no longer have a double chin or chins--
maybe that is where the 15 pounds I lost in August hung out?
perhaps a lower case nsv but I will flaunt,it÷👅

I wore heels for 5 hrs today, and had no pain whatsoever. I forgot that was even possible!

I happened to catch my reflection this morning and I had a thought “holy crap I’m stylish and don’t look fat and lumpy”. Serious double take. Considering I’ve been feeling crappy post gallbladder removal (wohoo 2 weeks since that fun) it was a welcome feeling. I’m wearing a shirt I got from stitch fix that is pushing my comfort zone but it’s growing on me.

(I’m not a “fat” is a bad word person. Even at my heaviest I knew I was beautiful and accepted this is where I am and it is what it is).

After my sleep study on Tuesday night, I was hoping to announce a NSV of being rid of my CPAP, but...not quite. My OSA is down to “mild” from “severe,” though, and without a CPAP, I’m down to 13 arousals an hour from 117 when I first had a sleep study in 2011 (and was 110 pounds heavier).

So here’s another NSV: Yesterday I accidentally threw our garage door opener in a Dumpster, and without thinking about it, I boosted myself onto the lip of the Dumpster and leaned in to retrieve it.

Congrats! That's outstanding!

I parked in a tight parking space and was still able to squeeze out of my door, without touching the car next to me. In the past I would not have been able to get out of my car.

I know this one too well

Hiked up two (2) mountains this summer. 12,998' and 14,202'. Tried the first one three years ago and almost passed out within the first 20 mins.

That's your body dysmorphia talking!

Your measurements are smaller than mine, and 8-10 in dresses is what I'm wearing

I bought a BIKINI!!!

I tried it on, didn't hate, and might even wear it out in public!

Even as a teenager and in my 20's when I was 20 lbs lighter than I am now I didn't wear a bikini. Of course this bikini is as high waisted as hell, but I'm not going to show my ugly tummy!
