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?!

Losing and gain a few pounds but not being obsessed with it

Ok so im not the only one. I gained 2 pounds
Makes me feel better that im not the only one

I can fit into my husband's shirts and blazers. Anytime I choose to wear them at work I end up looking like a gender bent 11th Doctor.

Osgood.

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

GROUP PHOTOS! In large group photos it's like a freaking "where's Waldo" scenario now because I no longer look for the larger mass. I blend in! I know this is a silly thing to get excited over, but before I could spot myself immediately because I typically stood out. Now it takes me a little longer to find myself in a sea of average sized people and I am totally cool with that.

In smaller group photos I am pretty excited about not taking up a majority of the photo so joy all around!

Thanks! The best part is I was always his arm candy even over 300 lbs. I’m incredibly fortunate on how awesome and supportive he is regardless of my body size. He’s also a big guy and on his own journey.

Yeah you are! TREASURE that dude, he is 1 in a millon!

I lost the last 5 or so pounds from my face all at once, and my cheekbones have gone nuts. They haven't been this prominent since my late teens. Not only is it incredibly obvious to other people, but I keep freaking myself out when I absently touch my own face because the contours are so different. Even when I'm sleeping, the way my face presses against the pillow - totally different pressure points than I've had in the last decade.

All of the fat underneath my cheekbones vanished, I now have a notable angle/shadow there, and my dimples have abruptly become really obvious.

It's super weird.

Nope weird I can feel my bones too ...all of them ?

Riding on an airplane soon and not taking an extender. Wish me luck (and closure!). ???

I went to my favority little bakery for pies for my girls school staff n I didnt even try a single piece of pie. Before i would buy a pie and eat it all by myself

Be careful. It may be too big by January!
