How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

Without realizing it I had my right leg up on the same chair I was sitting on. When I realized it I stared for several seconds. Can't tell you when I've been able to do that!

#1

I just came from the movie theatre and I didn't have to sit down at an angle to fit in the seat.

#2

I put on my bra and instead of using the last hooks I was able to go to the first set of hooks... (Almost time for bra shopping) so excited

I have become very aware and sensitive to people I am close to who still struggle with these issues. My brother and my best friend are both considerably overweight. When I'm out with either one of them I make an effort to ask for a table instead of a booth so they'll be more comfortable. I remember what it was like to not fit in a booth!

People don't get this. Everything I go out to eat with people, they want to sit in a booth, meanwhile in my head, I'm praying I'll fit!

I still think seeing people i hadn't seen in a while who didn't know who I wasmade me feel good. Also, nothing beat sitting in a roller coaster seat for the first time in years. I missed that so much!

1)I'm still plus size, but now i can shop at any place that has plus sizes, not just Avenue and Catherine's because they have aize 30/32.

2)went to a texas rangers game...and fit in the seat.

3) booths no longer flip me out.

4)slowly starting to be able to run.

I've had a few in the last couple of weeks

1. No more bra extender!

2. I am able to run! I ran 20 minutes straight on the treadmill without wanting to die.

3. This weekend I learned that I have sized out of the Plus Size selection at Forever 21 (My favorite store even though I'm 28, OH WELL!) I'm still too big for most of their "standard" sizes, but getting there.

4. Size 12 jeans I bought two years ago as a goal are now fitting me, but only for so much longer, there's a little room in them.

Congrats to everyone for their NSVs!!!

I haven't gone clothes shopping yet but I'm sure when I do I'll need a smaller size and can go to stores other than Lane Bryant. As of today I've lost 25 pounds!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
