Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted August 23, 2015 Elode, you have had so many great moments recently, and you deserve them all! Congratulations on your most recent NSVs! It’s great that you’re getting the rewards you deserve from your hard work after surgery. It’s also neat that other people are noticing – that makes it so much sweeter!

FocusOnMeNow 599 Posted August 26, 2015 @@Elode - Congratulations on all of your NSVs and Thank You So Much for sharing these NSVs with all of us. I put this year's bonus towards my self-pay surgery and plan to spend next year's on dental work as well. Once you start taking care of yourself in one area it really is contagious. I am worth investing in myself:-) Thanks for the others as well, especially the boots. I have been promising myself every year that I will buy some boots when I can zip them up "next fall" for so many years in a row, just like so many Monday morning diets that would be put off another week. I'm only 10 days out but by next fall I hope to be where you are now. Thank you so much for sharing and being an inspiration to us all:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrystee 838 Posted August 27, 2015 Funny, I'm the opposite with Jackets! I always felt the bulked me up more.. and I used to be so hot. I want to wear cute business jackets to work.. or for important meetings, or interviews.. and hopefully I will, I'm broad shouldered, so it may not work for me.. And I HATED wearing a coat/jacket in the car, cause it was already tight.. it will be nice to be able to wear one in the car!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
