Carrie22803 0 Posted November 16, 2005 NSV time - I like looking in the mirror and don't feel so disgusted when I catch a glimpse of myself. I feel like I'm looking thinner, even though I weigh a good 220! Still, it's smaller than before. Go Turtles, Go Turtles, Go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donali 57 Posted November 17, 2005 Passed up donut day. Actually, totally forgot. Passed up donuts at the brown bag yesterday. Didn't even cross my mind to have one. Ignored the whole chocolate cake at the coffee machine that took 2 days for everyone else to eat. IT WAS AS IF IT WEREN'T EVEN THERE!! The passing up of this stuff isn't what's so amazing - the AMAZING part was I didn't want it, wasn't tempted - no will power involved. How cool is that?!?! :banana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted November 17, 2005 That is totally cool! It's amazing what happens when we get, as Kathy calls it, a brain band. Everyone is doing so well with their NSVs! I just updated my main NSV thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted November 20, 2005 Okay, Thursday I passed up free donuts, and this weekend I've been busily working in my yard now that I'm home. Raking big fat soggy leaves, clearing flower beds, and the like. DH is amazined at my level of energy, and so is son. I guess I'm a little amazed too, since for the last several years the only energy I've had at this time of year has been spent trying to breathe or something aerobic like reading or playing video games. I've gotten used to a more active lifestyle in ID with all the walking and PE/dance classes I attend. I routinely walk up several flights of stairs with my heavy bookbag, where this time last year I was using a rolling bag, and needing to take the elevator because my asthma was so bad.

Marimaru 7 Posted November 21, 2005 Okay for this week: I wore a sweater that I haven't ever worn before. I think I got it last Christmas, or maybe the one before. It never fit, I didn't even dare try to pull it on. It fits great now! I even got a complement from a co-worker on it . I'm also re-branching out with my artwork. I got a job designing a book cover off of craigslist. Which is an NSV because I have the confidence again to even try, even if it's not weight related. I have to add this, it just happened; I was walking back from picking up lunch and someone whistled at me! I actually got whistled at by a passing car instead of some dirogitory (horrible spelling) remark! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teresita 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Confidence is definately a NSV. You go girl shhhhh I shouldn't be here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted November 27, 2005 Confidence is definately a NSV. You go girl shhhhh I shouldn't be here. You silly bug! Everyone is welcome to particpate in the NSV Challenge, even if you are just here with your pom-poms! Okay, I'm pretty sure this is an NSV... I seem to be shorter... all my jeans are draggin when I walk, and my favorite bell-bottoms are about an inch or more too long now. Or Maybe I'm not getting shorter, but my legs are getting more trim and there isn't as much bulk being taken up my my glorious thighs Also, the eye doctor paid me the nicest compliment, she said that I didn't have a single wringle or line on my face!
