Non-Scale Victory: Down Two Shoe Sizes!

[princess20 60]

A friend who had sleeve surgery told me to Celebrate non-scale victories, so I am DELIGHTED that at seven weeks post-op, I am down two shoe sizes. I went from a 11WW to a 11M. This is especially thrilling, because I LOVE HIGH HEELS. I had to stop wearing them because my weight got to be too much to stay on heels longer than about 30 minutes and there are not many choices for heels with extra wide feet. My dream is to buy a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes since they only come in medium widths. Since they are so expensive, I will wait until I reach my weight loss goal to buy them. I am glad that I am refocusing how I reward myself and not using food as incentives.

I can appreciate your love of shoes. I have a few pairs of Louboutin's and they are way more comfortable now that I am light as compared to when I was heavy. They do still make your feet feel like someone is crushing your bones after a few hours, but beauty is painful, right? Lol.

That is great! Those NSV's are better than the scale number!

I notice that mine aren't swelling at the end of the day like they were... still some, but not near as much. I really think all the carbs I used to eat made me retain Water too.

I've never had a pair of them. I have always had shoe lust for them. LOL

I have boots that I can not zip. I sure hope that post op and by Thanksgiving that I can get into them zipped.
