Another NSV

When I got married 3 and a half years ago, I searched high and low for a simple outfit to wear (wasn't a big ceremony and wanted something kind of casual that I could wear again one day). This city is filled with pencil thin, boobless model wannabes lol, so my search took ages. I finally found a shop that had a lovely light lavendar skirt and top. It was just what I had been looking for. When I tried on the biggest size, the skirt was super tight ;) Luckily, the blouse came down over my gut to hide it a little bit. I looked around at other shops though and that was the closest I could find to something that looked half way decent on me.

This weekend, I fished it out of the closet, just to see if I could squeeze my big arse into it yet. Low and behold, it was LOOSE! Not like falling off loose or anything, but moving room loose for sure.

That inspired me to try on a few other outfits that I had bought before I moved to Australia, in the hopes that one day I'd fit into them. They ALL fit!!! So I'm now smaller than my DH has ever seen me. Still as big as I was when I was 9 months pregnant, but I'm not concentrating on that hehehe.

You ought to try hanging round a university campus Jess! I couldnt believe it when I started my degree at the ripe old age of 36. When I was at uni right after school 20 + years ago, there were people of all shapes and sizes from all walks of life.

Well not anymore. Where have all the ugly people gone? Every girl is pencil thin, gorgeous and every boy is buffed and tanned. Its unbelievable, it looks like a movie set! Not only that but they all have the latest mobile phones, everyone has brand new cars (no driving round hotted up Cortina's like we all did), acrylic nails, tinted hair, designer sunglasses and amazing clothes.

My goal is to fit in a lecture theatre seat. I cant pull the table down and when the person next to me moves theirs my thigh gets in the way :=(

Well done though - I dont think I'd even try my wedding dress for at least 30 kilos!

Excellent work Pavarthi! Excellent work!

Oh Jachut, I know exactly what you mean. Except there are plenty of fat boys. This semester I am able to fit in the desks better and in the lecture hall my sexy tummy isn't squashed against the table... :)

Everyday I think about getting into some of my "other" clothes. I don't know why I haven't thrown them out yet, but reading great news like this makes me glad I didn't. That is great news. Keep up the great work!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
