NSV!!!!!!!!!!

[chilo1 62]

I've been doing the 5 day pouch test(finished yesterday) and haven't lost any weight, not even 1/2 a pound,granted it's TOM as well, so I'm not beating myself over it (last night, my last day i gave in to a glass of Rose and a piece of homemade wholemeal bread, the crusty bit dipped in aromatic olive oil ) So that wasn't a success for me, my own fault

Yesterday afternoon however, we all went to the park, husband and 3 girls, and we had a blast! For the first time ever, I put my jogging bottoms on a sweatshirt, my trainers (sneakers) and felt really good about myself(I actually felt quite "cool" as opposed to fat, forty and frumpy) and I went on loads of "rides" with the girls. I've never done this before cause I always felt to old, fat, ugly . Yesterday I felt so young and carefree. My husband pointed out that I always used to just sit on a bench while they palyed. This is probably one of the best NSV in these five months since surgery. I am so happy (even though I cheated on my pouch test last night )

Congrats! Time well spend interacting with our children has to be the best NSV yet!

Ain't that why we all did this... to experience the things we wanted to do... to have fun... to be confident in our bodies as well as our minds and hearts.... I LOVE THIS!!!

Hooray! It is the best feeling in the world to be able to be involved with those we love instead of sitting on the sidelines

That is totally awesome. I bet it's a day that you (and your girls) won't soon forget. A "Memory Day" as I call them. You go girl!!!!!

Oh man,.. the Peanut Butter was gooooooood!!!! Only managed a slice and a half of the wholemeal toast, and that took me 20 mins or so... the pouch test might have done NSV though!!!

Why did we start using that.. So does it just mean the victory like things we can do now?

Your post about going on "rides" got me thinking - I haven't been on carnival rides in YEARS because I have felt so fat and figured I wouldn't fit in the seats. I wonder if I will be able to stomach them now that I can fit lol. I think you look great and have done awesome! It is such a honeymoon when the weight just keeps dropping off at the beginning, and when it slows down it can get frustrating. I have 6 lbs to break 200 and my scale is stuck!!
