ShoeString NSV



Recommended Posts

This morning when I tied my shoes, it was like any other day, right?

WRONG...as I was getting in my truck, I noticed that the bow was on the TOP of the shoe, instead of the side of the shoe.

((PHAT GIRLS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT!!))

This is my first NSV, and since my loss has been painfully slow, this is especially sweet!!:clap2:

LMAO @ the eyes popping out, that is so true, and I never even thought about it, and obviously didn't miss it this morning, but my eyeballs ARE still intact.

Yep bows on top are great are they not. Just being able to see the bows has been a great feeling for me.

Heheh ehehe hehehehe.

There's nothing like having to undo your pants in order to tie your shoes.

Know what else that means? You don't have to paint your toenails and just guess the other side looks good, too!

Yay you! :clap2:

Uht oh... DeLarla's been in binge mode and her bows are sideways. I never even realized thin people have straight bows but I'm an extremely anal retentive perfectionist so forget about being healthy, I need to slim down to have straight F-ing bows!

That is a great NSV, congrats!

I will now hang my head and admit that at first I didn't even understand what you were talking about when you used shoes and bows in the same sentence. I haven't worn shoes that have to be tied in years because it takes to much effort to bend over and tie the darn things! Isn't that just sad?

well, most of mine are slip ons, my chuckas stay untied most of the time, i just cleverly loosen the strings, and wear them like slip ons, and noone notices. My tennis are being worn today...with perfect purty bows right on top!!

Ah yes...the joys of trying to get to the toes....I know it well.

That is a GREAT NSV and much congrats to you for noticing and taking the time to pat yourself on the back. Those moments of self congrats are priceless...and a big key in rebuilding tattered self esteem.

Whoot for an NSV!

This is a really interesting one - my physio felt that at my heaviest weight I was contributing to my ankle problem because I could not tie the lace on my right shoe on top of the shoe, it was always off to the side.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
