scootergirl 118 Posted March 6, 2014 Oh my goodness (OMG). I had a wonderful non-scale victory (NSV) this past week. I flew on an airline for the first time since surgery. Last flight was one year ago and I suffered mucho embarrassment when I required a seat belt extender for each leg of my flight. Once, I had to request it while sitting next to my tall, ex-model coworker whose eyes nearly popped out of her head when she realized that I could not buckle my seat belt without the extender. This flight I had seat belt room-to-spare on every plane and every different style belt. Yippee! This has been the best NSV yet. I feel like a "normal" person again. I hadn't even realized that I previously did not! 12 1Day1Life4Now, Keepgoing247, BigGirlPanties and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigGirlPanties 957 Posted March 6, 2014 it comes in little bits and pieces... like when you realize the steering wheel isn't hitting your tummy anymore...or that you NEED to move the seat up now movie seats are comfy again you can cross your legs so many little, wonderful, miracles that happen in our lives every day now that it doesn't matter what the scale says... we are just so HAPPY!!! 3 Dr-Patient, 1Day1Life4Now and cherbear33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McButterpants 2,846 Posted March 6, 2014 Congratulations!!!!! Enjoy all of these NSV's. There are all important. I think we often get hung up on that number on the scale and we don't look at the other things! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted March 7, 2014 When I flew in Nov. I was able to put the table down all the way in front of me too. The last time I flew I had to share my hubby's because I could not move it one inch! Same story with the extender...Room to spare and had hubby take pics of the table..I was so stoked..Wait you'll see what happens next............All good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 1Day1Life4Now and McButterpants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandavander 12 Posted March 7, 2014 Yep I told my husband that I can't wait to be able to cross my legs. Seems so stupid but in my mind it is a big deal. 2 McButterpants and 1Day1Life4Now reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
