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?!

zthat to me is not a NSV,but a LD, a life detriment, the price we pay for being Female!?

I got mine almost immediately. Totally freaked out the nurse....he was male. He thought my incisions were bleeding at first! He asked a female nurse to come in and help me with clean up and she told me about his reaction and we both laughed about it.

Being post menopausal this is one issue I do not have to worry about thank God!

Shouting
Amen. ???
Loudly!

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!!

woohoo!!!! so awesome!!!!

I ate a whole chicken leg tonight! ?That's the most meat I've ever been able to get down at once since February!

How wonderful?May be that in 6 months I can do it too. Keeps my hopes and dreams alive!

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

Yeeeeeehaaawwwww!!!!! Girl you're eating "real food"!!!! Congrats!!!!

I found a pair of jeans in my closet - size 14, still in the plastic wrap. They fit. I’ve worn them at a conference all week and they look f**king amazing. Yes, Spanx are still in play to control the muffin top effect, but I look leggy and well put together and people’s reaction is significant.

Have you seen these? THere's a vid on FB where it shows them being pulled from regular hipsters to this compression on the tummy/waist trainer! https://shapermint.com/collections/shapewear/panties

Someone told me I have long legs...

Bihhh

I'm 5' 3"!
