Pinkylee 7 Posted October 6, 2006 Today is my 4 month anniversary. I wanted to share some NSV's today: 1. I no longer dread family gatherings and being ashamed of my appearance. 2. I no longer "need" a nap mid-day. 3. I exercise every day without thinking of "something" else I "need" to do. 4. I didn't take up more than my fair share of the seat on the airplane and I actually had to pull my seat belt tighter instead of stretching it to the limit. 5. My feet don't hurt after an all day shopping trip and I no longer need to wear lace-up shoes or Teva sandals to endure the day. (a huge difference) 6. I enjoy shopping for clothing for myself. 7. I finally gave some of my better outfits to my DS and she's enjoying them. I finally believe I won't need them any longer. 8. My DH smiles more Every day life gets a little easier with the band. I'm learning how to deal with the pits and let them go. I'm grateful for each day I have this unique weight loss tool. Instead of trying to push the limits, I'm taking care to ensure my band's safety. I'm learning new feelings of satisfaction with food. God knows I'll never have that "full" feeling again. Food is finally taking it's proper place in my life. I'm finding new ways to sooth the savage beast of depression. Life is definitely better for me today than it was four short months ago.
