Non Scale Victories

[BeanieSprouts 171]

Two NSVs from this weekend!

I was able to buy knee-high boots from PAYLESS!! EXCUSE ME???! Last year Torrid's boots were too small for my calves.

Also, I can cross my legs while sitting! I can't actually remember the last time I was able to do this. I don't think I even could in high school! YAAAYYYY!!

I can slide along the length of the bath without sticking to the sides!

I flew on an airplane and instead of nearly needing an extender, I had to tighten the belt down. 93 lbs down since April!
Only downside was getting pat downs because of my stomach hanging down. Need to get a Tummy Tuck next year.

My new to me skinny jeans that were given to me a month ago (and we’re super tight!) are now too big.

A couple of NSV this past week...

1. Fit into my old favorite bathing suits (size 12s & 14s) - Was able to retire my "new" big girl suits for my old fashionable ones

2. Bought a appropriate US size (#'d) Harley Davidson capris (reality, they were US size 12/14 - and must've been UK sizing) a couple years back and they never fit.... tried them on for giggles the other day and they buttoned

3. tried on a pair of old jean capri's today - haven't been able to wear in 3 years.... FIT....:D

I can actually see my feet on the scale without bending over‼️

I am stepping up my workouts and starting to work with a trainer today, and I’m looking forward to it‼️

I ordered new bras ... started as a 42G and down to a 38 DDD ‼️‼️‼️

I have managed to get rid of all of my pre surgery clothes, went on a trip to Alaska and managed to fit in the airplane seat! I have also managed to be able to fit my formerly big behind into any and all roller coasters at the local theme park!!! That alone was an amazing feeling since there were only a few rides that I was small enough to get on. I am currently halfway into working my way up to being able to jog a 5k in less than 25 minutes with my golden doodle and when that happens I will be doing cartwheels! By far one of the best decisions of my life to have this surgery!!

Ran 5k today without stopping - first time in my life I have ever managed to do this with no stops....in under 40 mins :) training for my first 5k event next month - running in memory of my sister (great motivator!), raising money for the hospice that supported her 💕

I am a newborn baby photographer. Others like myself wrap babies by putting them in their lap. I have never been able to do that because my tummy was to big. I had to use a table or wrap them on the bean bag I use to pose them. TODAY I wrapped the baby on my lap! I almost cried. It was so much easier.

Tucking my shirts in! I have never ever done this but now! Flat tummy, no bulges, no bum... feels like a million dollars to do this.

I rode any ride I wanted to at Universal Studios without worrying whether I'd fit! Buckled my seatbelt on the plane with belt to spare. Just, overall, felt "normal" for the first time in a very long time.

[insta_adventurer 1,046]

I went for a stroll with my coworkers and didn’t hate it, kept up, and wasn’t a hot, sweaty out of breath mess after!

Also- I wear a men’s tee shirt size that’s smaller than my husbands! This hasn’t been the case since the year we met.

It’s things like the above that keep me motivated and going!

love it instant advenure, or of my future dreams is to wear Tomkittens t shirts or be smaller. He has gone down from 3x to 2x ones left from his angel brother, I am hoping people will regard me as. his pretty Mama instead of a fat old broad I always see him with. Oh I will work it all out!

I went jeans shopping at Lucky yesterday. I shopped in a brick-and-mortar store that wasn’t a big and tall store. I had to try on different options to see which was best. Oh, it was a whole new world.
