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.

    Thanks. My sister said great, now you need to eat more! Maybe I'll dump her and adopt you!

    I'm up for adoption! She sounds like my sister who recently told me ..."Man, you might lose your boobs entirely!"

    I've got a couple of necklaces that fit around my neck now that didn't before.

    I've lost 15" in 3 weeks since surgery.

    I'm down a clothing size already.

    My face and neck look thinner.

    I walk longer/faster than everyone I know/meet without trying. I have a new urgency to get places (on foot) because my feet and body no longer hurt when I walk now...

    This means so much to me. I didn't even realize it until children were tired of me ?.
