Gene1970 179 Posted July 5, 2012 It's a non scale victory. Climbing a flight of stairs without getting out of breath, fitting into an old shirt that hasn't fit in years, having someone comment on how good you look, having the energy to do something that you haven't been able to do in years, etc... all non scale victories. 5 MinaT, ~Donna~, 7carol3 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MinaT 669 Posted July 5, 2012 Not having to wear a selt-belt extender. The door of the car not banging your hip, actually seeing your lap when sitting down, finding your first chest bone, seeing your toes, touching your toes, noticing my eyes are big now (seems the more weight I gained the larger amount of skin and puffier my eyes were, the smaller my actually eyes looked because of the weight around it. Noticing my cheek bones, sitting in a normal doctor's chair instead of standing around because I hated feeling wedged in. These are all mine recently, and oh my gosh they make me happy. I look forward to so many more!! 2 ~Donna~ and Pookeyism reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually told I have an exotic almond shaped eye, and it was obvious I had "more than european" blood - lol - actually they are right, but I don't think they meant Cherokee and Aleut (think Alutian Islands, Alaska) - but the eye comment flattered me MUCH more than I expected it to, I always felt my features disappeared into my fat. 2 MinaT and ~Donna~ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pookeyism 1,143 Posted July 5, 2012 NSV = Fitting into a size 14 pair of jeans! That was a really big deal to me, that makes me smaller than I have ever been in my adult life. I can even squeeze into some twelves, but only at home for encouragement, lol...NO MORE MUFFIN TOPS! never, even if it means saying I am wearing a size smaller, lol. 3 ~Donna~, MinaT and raven8888 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
