NSV (Non Scale Victories)



Recommended Posts

My latest NSV was last night when I had to squeeze between two other people's chairs in a resturant and realized that there was room to spare!

I can now fit comfortably in a booth, before surgery it was a squeeze and my tummy was partly lying on the table....LMAO

Now I have huge space between me and the table....LOVE IT!!

The other night I had a shirt on that was fitting. One of the women I play cards with said "Look at that, you have a waist now!" Good to hear, and good to see. I hope to be curvy in about 6 months when I'm well under 200.

Last night I was looking in the mirror without a shirt on...and...my back looks almost like a normal person's back...there are scapula (sp???) and they are very visable...unlike before when my back just looked like a hump...there was nothing but fat and lumpy skin...I'm a different girl!!

Last night while DH was watching the play off game, I went to our bedroom to watch something I wanted to on the TV in there. It got a little chilly, so I grabbed a small throw I use to cover the grandbabies when they sleep on my bed, and covered up. When the game ended he come in to the room, he walked in the door, and stopped, and smiled, and told me I looked little bitty in that bed (King size----of course!) As I lay there, I realized, I did in fact take up very little space on that bed as compared to before, and I fit under that little blanket with some to tuck in!

So in the night I thought about it, and suddenly realized, I now simply roll over, in one Fluid motion. Used to be a series of grunts, and rolls, and shifts, and more settling----it took a lot to turn me over!!! Now it is a non issue!

Not the type of NSV's usually associated with bed------but they made me happy!!!

I went shopping over the weekend with my 12 year old daughter and I tried on a coat at Delia'a (for girls) and it fit! I did not buy it but my daughter was so proud of me that it felt great. My NSV was not about the coat but how my daughter reacted and said "that is so cool Mom, now we can shop together"!

It felt so great to see the look on her face! I love my band!

      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.
