What was your most recent NSV? (non-scale victory)



Recommended Posts

Short skirt and a long jacket.....yes! And tights; loving wearing tights this fall. Oh, here's one that I'm still not sure is real. The other day I did not want to get off the treadmill. What?! Who is this person? I never thought I'd get the "high" of exercise or even be able to approach it without dread. And now I am a real exerciser. Hardly seems possible. Yippee!

@@Bandista -- I understand how you feel. It takes some time before it kicks in but once you start getting that runner's high, it's a fantastic feeling!

Keep up the great work!

@tamg26k Best wishes! If you have questions, stop them and ask. If it hurts, tell them so they can give you something else to do. Do one more rep when you think you can't.

You can do this!

Not having to ask the sales clerk if the shoe came in wide width.

Shopping the other day, I griped (jokingly) to the sales clerk about not having a certain top I wanted in extra large. I broke down and bought a large, thinking "I will be able to wear it soon enough". I got home, tried it on, and it FIT! I was wearing size 1X top at my largest :)

Thank you! I used to go the gym all of the time when I was In my 30's. Now in my 40's, I need to dust off these old bones and get back to it! Slow and easy to start!

Side note to everyone - all of the posts here and across the forums are really helpful to all of us. Thanks to everyone, hopefully we inspire each other to keep moving forward!!! :)

Here is my NSV. This upcoming weekend I'm helping my nieces move furniture into their 3rd floor apartment. Why is this an NSV? Never in a million years would I have been able to climb the darn stairs, much less cheerfully volunteer to carry furniture up three flights! I can't wait to be around these twenty-somethings and get some good exercise!

I was sitting in a clinic waiting room and was wearing my winter wrap. I had several people complement my wrap but the complement I was not expecting was when someone asked me if I was cold (I live in Tucson AZ so the weather is "always warm") and when I said yes she said it was because I "didn't have any body fat"!!! I almost corrected her but stopped and smiled at her comment.

I bought a couple of outfits in the "regular" woman's department. It was so exciting to not have that W or X attached to the size!

I was able to "shop" in my closet for a smaller pair of jeans for the first time. I am 5 weeks out from lap-band surgery and have not lost a single ounce over the past 3 weeks which is getting mighty frustrating. BUT, I must be getting smaller if my jeans are getting looser. Plus I feel better. 15 lbs = almost 2 gallon milk jugs. So I actually feel less weighed down.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
