A BIG NSV week

[laners777 145]

I attended my first work conference this week since being sleeved 6/24/13. First NSV occurred on the plane, NO seatbelt extender needed. I did ask for one because I didn't trust that I had lost enough to fit but didn't need it. As a matter of fact, I had about 3 extra inches on the regular seatbelt. Second, my hotel was 1.2 miles away from the convention center and I walked to and from everyday for 4 days, so got my walking in. The NSV to that was that it didn't even wind me, the weather was nice so I didn't even sweat and I walked it in a 3 inch heeled sandal. I stayed on program the entire time of the conference, having the confidence to say "no thank you" to food items I knew I should not eat. I also went to happy hour everyday, did not drink even though I really wanted to. Last NSV was putting on my bathing suit and going to the hot tub and taking off my cover-up to get into the spa. No shame, no self-consciousness, just at a place where I know I don't look the best in my suit but I sure don't look the worst either and I know I am transitioning to a smaller me and I am comfortable with my place in the world right now. I haven't felt that way in years. Life is so much more about how we feel about ourselves, what we are doing for ourselves, than what we look like in a bathing suit. I guess with weight loss, total of 45lbs so far, I am actually learning about myself again, that might be my happiest NSV

Love posts like this, and ya for you!

You are, however, absolutely crazy for walking in a 3" sandal, lol!

Thanks for feedback ladies. And yes by the end of the 4th day, I thought those sandals needed to rest in the closet for awhile
