Who's Shadow Is That?

[316 12]

I have had so many NSVs in the last 3 months, but my favorite so far happened last weekend. I was working around the house and I noticed my shadow on the driveway and it had a visible waist! It has been years since my shadow was anything but a big blob with a head and legs. I was so excited.

Other NSVs I have had include:

Went down from 4X sweats to a 1X

I can wear heels all day at work and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day

I went shopping at the mall with my daughter for 3 hours and was not exhausted when we were done

I no longer crave sugary rich Desserts or high fat foods. Instead I crave cucumbers or turkey burgers.

I can now see the cleft in my chin,and I only have 1 chin to look at:)

I am no longer morbidly obese

The seat belt in my van will fit around me and still have extra length to spare.

First off congrats!! Sounds like your really makin progress I to am finally startin to notice changes which makes me feel good. I was starting to become discouraged because I am not in anyway at my goal but instead decided to look at the positives! Ive lost 150 pounds, I went from a 34 jean to 22 I can comfortably where a 1x tshirt without stretchin the heck out of it first. I can run up a flight of stairs! And still be breathing normally!! I used to stop to catch my breath just from walking up them. And my favorite I can try clothes on at the store and not have to go for the biggest one on the rack and hope I can stretch it to fit! Lapband has truly saved my life and yes we struggle sometimes but beyond worth it.

Congrats!!! You gave me a good chuckle, whenever I see my shadow I cringe especially when walking near my 6 foot tall husband who is also slim, my shadow is a big fat blob near his tall sleek shadow! By this time next year I hope I can look at my shadow and smile secretly to myself!
