These twelves are falling off me. I started at eighteens and they were tight! Same old brand.

Ok, I'm almost three years out and at goal ... Last week I walked into a dept store and bought 3 pairs of size 6 capris -- off the rack -- and they all fit!! One pair was tight, and when I looked at the tag, they are a size 4 that I picked up by mistake. Now, I have not lost any pounds on the scale in quite some time, but with my continued exercise and weight lifting, my body shape continues to get smaller. Whoo-hee! I feel so darned "normal!" Lol. Stick with it, everyone, there are many NSVs as the years go on!!

My most favorite NSV so far! I thought I'd never have to be a bridesmaid again, but after a whirlwind romance, my little sister wants a big wedding. So off to look at dreaded bridesmaid dresses we went. It was so liberating to not be the fat girl worried about them having a dress in my size or what it would look like. I was prepared to wear whatever she picked. And....I ended up looking really good on the dress she picked! The picture doesn't even do it justice. I'm the one in the pink dress. The actually dress is going to be blue.attachicon.gifIMG_0464.jpg

you are beautiful.

NSV

*shopping at Victoria Secret for the first time EVER!!

*going from a TIGHT size 24 pants to a size 12. (First time as an adult that I can remember wearing a size 12)

Wow! It's great not being alone here. My NSV's

Sitting crossed leg (my new favorite)

Husband saying your so small ( even though I'm not)

Shopping where ever I choose

Siting in a chair and seeing the the seat on both sides of you

20' something men trying to make passes

The missed double looks

the best * my son saying that's enough on the weight loss you look good

Today I rode a horse and it was awesome! I then rode in a paddleboat. As my daughter said, "Mom, just get in. You're skinny now -- live your life!"

Climbing a 20 ft cliff face and jumping off into the river.

Willing lugging the beer cooler up and down to the river even though I wasn't drinking any beer. Pretty sure I was the only one of my girlfriends that had the strength to do it alone.

Checking in at the airport and asking for a seat change and getting assigned the exit row (free of charge too!)

Spending a totally awesome weekend with dear friends of 20+ years and never once being tired or wanting to take a break.

This is to good to believe . Went to my sisters the Other day and we were talking about Halloween. She said wait I'll get u the girls costumes from last year. My nieces are 12 yo 16 n 18 and normal size to skinny skinny anyway wtf I fit in two of the costumes. I didn't Try the 18 yo one cause well she's 18 and I'm clearly not lol. I am going to be little red riding hood or a bee but tween size costumes wtf they fit and didn't look bad need leggins for the bee one though. Thought she was crazy for suggestion I try but it fit they fit . I still don't see what everyone else sees but the clothes don't lie ????

I hear ya on the Halloween costume. In all previous years, I had one criteria for a costume. Did it fit? If it did, that was my costume. It was always some kind of black robe. This year, a friend of mine invited me out for Halloween. I accepted. She said, don't forget you need a costume! I panicked. I don't have anything!! So go get something, she said. So now I am on a hunt for a costume. This year, I have more choices available to me. We shall see…

NSV. Walked into a restaurant bathroom last night and was faced with the big handicap stall and the "small" stall. Almost went to the big one when I realized I now have room to move around in the smaller one. It's awesome feeling "normal."

      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.
