Elode 8,093 Posted August 20, 2015 I have a few NSV's to share! First, I started back to school Tuesday and I did NOT wear scrubs to school! (If you read one of my last trending post you will understand that) I actually went clothes shopping and bought some real school clothes including a size 8 in jeans!! Also, for the last two days in class I didn't wear a jacket, I didn't even bring one which is astonishing even to me because I ALWAYS have something to cover up with. Jackets are something of a security blanket to cover arms, stomach, any back fat I may have had (imaginary or not). It's a wonderful feeling to not feel self-concious while in the seated position. I can focus on my instructor instead of worrying if everything's covered and not poking out. Lastly while at Walgreens one of the lady's who works there came up to me and my daughter and said " I hope this doesn't sound rude but aren't you like half the size you use to be?" I just laughted and said yes I am, thank you! Then on the way home I started thinking dang how fat was I that the lady at Walgreens took notice Still pretty sweet NSV's if you ask me! Oh and I'm finally (34 years into life) getting braces! It's amazing how much you want to improve yourself even more when you feel good about yourself!

peaceout 273 Posted August 20, 2015 Those are fantastic NSV's! Congrats! I can't wait until I'm able to go places without a jacket or big sweater. Nothing like being somewhere in the middle of summer and trying to stay as covered as possible while sweating buckets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted August 20, 2015 @ oh I know I've been covering for years! I still haven't showed my bare legs or anything "drastic" like that. I'm still a work in progress but I'm thrilled with the progress so far! It's exciting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thenewnic 139 Posted August 20, 2015 Congrats lady!! I can completely relate. I've always said my dream "size" is actually when I can pull on a pair of jeans and tee and not worry about muffin top or noticeable bulging. I just purchased a pair of 9/10 jeans and the best feeling was having no love handles showing from the back...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
