Today I had an unexpected and surprisingly satisfying NSV. I noticed that my belly button shrank. It's about 50% shallower than it used to be! Who knew I would be so pleased about less depth to my belly button? ?

Sniff...sniff.

I tried on a smaller shirt today. I officially have a waist. I haven't seen one in a very long time.

Yay..

Weird nsv as of late. I used to be a size 11 in women's shoes at target. I recently bought a new pair of sneakers from target and had to get a 10. Now that I'm wearing them they're actually too loose and I could've went down to a 9 or 9.5. I didn't realize your feet get smaller when losing lbs.

Absolutely! I went from a 8 wide (or larger) back to a size 7.5 regular. Just started donating my old shoes which I walk out of now.

Yes. Before I was really fat I (when I was young) wore a size 8.5 or 9 wide. After I gained all that weight I wore a 10 wide and sometimes 11. After losing my weight, my feet are back to an 8.5 or 9 wide. Unfortunately, my feet have been wide since the day I was born. I wish I could lose that too!
It's wonderful buying smaller shoes though!

Ok so has this happened to anyone else. The dress I wore almost 75 pounds heavier no one ever said two words about. The SAME DRESS 75 pounds smaller and I got like 5+ compliments. Cah-razy! And nice.

It's nice to feel the loose material around my ankles too. I used to take off my shoes after a long day and there'd be an imprint in my skin from the shoe around my ankle because it was so tight and my ankles would swell. I feel how loose my shoes are now and it's so much more comfortable.

Mine went from 10 wide to 9.5 regular... totally didn't expect it.

Some of the jeans from my "someday maybe these will fit again" drawer just slide on. And then they button and zip with no problem. It amazes me every time.

Today I was able to get my middle finger and thumb to touch around my wrist. I have pretty short fingers and haven't been able to do this in years.

Also, today I gave all my biggest fall and winter coats to Ukranian refugees. I don't need them anymore.

I had a lot of NSVs since I had my surgery in January 22:

1. I recently bought a mountain bike and I've been riding it every night around my house. The longest distance I've complete was 8 KM on a slightly hilly area ?. The last time I was able to ride a bike was 25 years ago

2. I had to get rid of all my old clothes since it does fit me anymore (I kept one shirt and pants to remind myself of how much I used to weigh). Went down from size 52" pant to size 38" in less than 8 months.

3. I bought a lot of fitting T-shirts, pants and even shorts from the regular size section of department store. Had to buy new shoes also since my old ones don't fit any more

I put on some clothes yesterday and looked in the mirror and I had an hour glass type figure. It was nice and I don't remember the last time I had an hour glass figure.

Fit in to my boots that are normal calf width! They have been gathering dust since 2019 ?

Just had to reset my phone Face ID….
