Non Scale Victories

  • Popular Post

I had surgery on 11/29 and I’m trying to not focus too much on the numbers on the scale or on my clothes.

My non scale victories since 11/29

Had to have a spacer put on my wedding ring

I’m wearing a coat I haven’t worn in 2 yrs

I got rid of my pre-surgery work uniforms

I’ve cleaned my closet twice already

What are your non scale victories?!

    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.

  • Sometimes NSV are the best victories! I've had quite a few in the last year but here are some: I can fit comfortably in the chairs in our conference room at work, the arms used to dig into my leg

  • etc. etc. etc.
    etc. etc. etc.

    This week, my kid took off running across the park area near his after school care... and I ran after him and caught him. He was as delighted as I was. I don't think he had ever seen me run.

Uhh. I just bought ankle boots with a 3” stacked heel. I don’t wear heels like ever but I tried them on and my feet did fit and didn’t start instantly screaming at me. So they came home with me.

I never counted them all together ... but I guess I did :blush:

I have a new one: I can see my cheekbones!! I had great cheekbones before I started gaining weight, haven't seen them in years. They're coming back! And my clavicles, too!

happy for you, my neck is starting to reappear, the double chins are a thing of the past, but neck flesh being exposed has the color of and smoothness of Turkey flesh. ?

Why does your surgery date say 2/7/2014? Your surgery was this month :wacko:

you tell me, when I joined BP last winter some e-peon did that to me. I was not even seeking WLS at that time, let alone undergoing surgery. I cannot adjust it myself on an android phone app, I have pleaded with everyone up to Ken S our uber E-Guru until I am blue in the face, to repair it Nada- for a bit of time I even started putting all my facts in every pisting, makes for LONG postings. so here I am with a blue face,, light red turkey neck and operating room sallow skin tone. My son does not have to worry about a stepfather now. I give most guys the right age the heeby jeebies with my color scheme. So. can anybody fix El Problemo?

I fix mine by using the browser version on my phone. Good luck!
I'll give a shot, the way things are

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!!
