Non Scale Victories

[libbyleeb 97]

Bow ties are cool!!!

I just had a size 10 dress zip up on me. Still a little snug and will need some shape wear for the belly but holy hell it zipped. It’s for a wedding in January. The second look my Mr gave me was hysterical when I asked him if it looked okay to be his arm candy.

All needed because the scale I swear is stuck at 200.8-201.8... still

Be careful. It may be too big by January!

Aww then I’ll have to go shopping again...

Honestly my loss has slowed way down to the maybe 2 lbs a week/month. Granted that doesn’t address the physical body dimension changes. I’m so very much out of the honeymoon fast dropping zone. Now it’s doing the work.

Yesterday I fit an ENTIRE TOWEL around myself. EXCUSE ME?????!!!! Unheard of. Fake. Unrealistic.

Recently took a flight that had to be rebooked due to weather conditions in the northeast. The only available seats were middle seats. I was completely freaking out and just knew that I was going to be miserable the entire flight.

To my surprise, I was completely comfortable and did not encroach on anyone’s space. Even though I’ve lost over 100lbs and down to 188, I’m still “big” in my head until proven otherwise. 🤪

This weekend at a party I was standing to wait for a friend of mine to move so I could pass her thinking there was no way I’d be able to get past them in the small space. Maybe 12-18” of space.

Another friend (who knows of my surgery) leaned in and said “RHCD you can fit thru there”. I told her nope I’m fine I’ll wait. Some how I eventually decided to give it a go and walked thru and didn’t bump anyone. Mind blown. Much cheering/fist bumps from friends.

So maybe physically smaller but mentally not there.

A big thumb up👍and a way to go,Baby! that is an NSV you should cherish!

Don't count,on it , I believe our minds are the last things to accept it. Case in point, I have on an eggplant-shades sweatsuit outfit, when I took it out of the closet I didn't think it would be as loose on me as it is. Dont think I will change it though, just rock any victory even,if it is non size instead of Non scale victory.

Yesterday i had to go buy some pants for work sincr the old ones didn't fit. I was going to order them online but some how rnded up going to the store. So i start with a size 18 some 16's and i finally got some 14's. So i head to the dressing room. And to my great suprise and amazement i didnt even try on the 18s it fir just right in the 14s. I havent been 14 since jr high high school. Even with my 2 week stall my body is changing but my mind and mirror are not there. I still feel bigger than i am. Loving it!!!

I am still wearing my 6X jacket at work because they keep it so cold 🥶 here I think I am still wearing it just to be able to hide the changes from everyone until I adjust to them

Flying home from DC with my wife and son, I sat in the middle seat, found it perfectly comfortable.

Bought new bath towels over the weekend, did not have to spend extra on oversized bath sheets.

Looked at a pair of track pants, said “oh, those are too small,” and they fit perfectly, for the billionth time.

That's 1-2'-3 Great NSV! Best Wishes for a Happy December for you, your wife and Son!.!

Wow, over 100lbs. That is amazing. I stopped flying about 4 years ago after a flight where I had to beg for a seat belt extension. I've lost 60 so I figure I can fly again and will do so next February. Anyway congrats on the loss.
