10 Wonderful NSV'S

pati-o · March 24, 2005

I have to share it here, my DH is clueless about why my NSV's bring me sheer ~J.O.Y~.

1.Let me say I feel giddy inside. Like I'm a little kid and Christmas is coming, but it's every day that I feel this way.

2. I LOVE how my back feels soooooo much better, my hips don't hurt every time I sneeze, cough, roll over in the middle of the night, or when I bend over.

3. My house is cleaner, and I actually WANT to paint, redecorate, etc...

4. I'm actually EXERCISING!!! ME? Exercising??? Yes!!!! I can't believe it, and the best part about it is, I actually LIKE it!!! Plus, my sister, my best friend, and my neighbor are so excited that I'm exercising that they want to do it with me!

5. I'm a nicer mom, I feel like I am enjoying my children in a way that I've never enjoyed them. And I've only lost 22 lbs!!

6. I enjoy the "fun stuff" with my DH sooo much more (yes, the REALLY fun stuff!!)

7. My right knee doesn't hurt anymore, and it's been at least 3 years since it hasn't hurt!

8. My stomach is the flattest it's been since before I got pregnant for my first baby. I can't believe how great that feels.

9. I got to donate my sz. 22 jeans, and buy 18's. I havent worn that size since 1990!!!

10. I can bend over and not feel like my face is going to rupture from the pressure. Wow! What an amazing thing!

I could list a dozen more. Most importantly, I feel like I have so much more to look forward to.

And I want to add... I don't always respond to the posts on this board, but I do read them, and they are an important part of my day. Each triumph, every heartache, everyone elses scale and NSV's, every word of advice, wisdom and encouragement are taken to heart and have an important part in how I now see MY world, and my thoughts, prayers and best wishes are there every time I read someone elses post.

This board matters........I wouldn't have gone to Mexico without everyones encouragement and advice. And knowing that this board was here for me when I got home was one of the reasons I went through with going to Mexico and got my "wonder band"

Thanks to you all. You're simply wonderful and greatly appreciated!
