Nsv - Back To The Things I Love.

[GonnaLoseIt 33]

I love this community, and have found everyone on here to be so caring and compassionate. Although I will never actually meet many of you, I feel like part of a large sleeve family.

Anyways I just wanted to share my first NSV. As a child I played soccer, it was my favourite thing to do and I would do nothing by look forward to the next time I could play soccer. Then I hit puberty, and started gaining weight. I stuck it out for a few years but at 15 I stopped playing, I couldn't physically keep up, and was depressed. The weight held me back from doing the one thing I truly loved to do. The key word is held, because its not stopping me anymore, now that I am 70 lbs down I have joined soccer for the summer and in the mean time am going to play indoor soccer. My first game is tomorrow, and all I can say is how excited I am to have my life back.

Please feel free to share your NSVs, I love to hear them.

This is what it's all about. I love reading this. I believe this is what matters more than even looking good. Because this is where memories are made and where LIVING begins. I am so overjoyed for you!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

That is so so great, these are the kinds of things i am looking forward to, living normally without consciously (or unconsciously) making accommodations for being obese.

Thanks everyone! It went great. I am a little rusty and was definitely sore the day after but I had an amazing time. Got another game tomorrow

Congrats! This is such a great NSV. I am super proud of you for getting out there and doing it. Many people big or small don't have the courage to get out there and do the things they want whether it be weight or other things. So good for you!
