Just had to share a little (non-scale) victory!



Recommended Posts

Today, the first year of my new life with my band, I got up to take out the dog. I grabbed some lounge pants that I haven't put in in a few weeks, took two steps, and they LITERALLY feel to my knees!

Plus, the jeans I put on next are falling of my butt! Had to look for my belt to hold em up!

So excited for this year!

That's so awesome. Congratulations!!!! For me that was the only motivation I needed to get through the day. Remember it's just one meal at a time!

What is NSV?

It's just an abbreviation for a "non-scale victory".

Hahaha. I'm laughing at you, mainly because I am laughing at myself. 2 weeks ago I was carrying laundry out of the house. My pants fell to my ankles, I tripped over them, fell off my steps and broke my wrist!! I have never been sooooo happy to hear I had a broken bone.

Isn't it great seeing clothes get loose? It means your shrinking! The scale going down is nice, but I think clothes getting big or fitting into smaller clothes is even better. After all, the idea is to be smaller, not lighter. Noone sees that number on the scale (besides you lol).

Holy cow lovinjacobe...it's scary to fall but how funny is this story. Best reason why I'd want to fall.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
