Back to normal food? And what dose NSV MEAN?



Recommended Posts

I am hoping that one day I will be able to eat normal food again just in smaller portions. I don't mean fast food but if I go out with my family to a restaurant I can order Pasta but only have a small amount? And what does NSV mean? I've seen in on a lot of threads.

It's best to avoid Pasta, rice, potatoes, bread and sugar, those things will slow or stop weight loss and cause cravings. Focus on lean/fat free Protein sources and non-starchy veggies. When you eat out, just ask that foods be prepared without added fat/oil and eat your Protein and non-starchy veggies first. f you have room left, then have a bite or two of pasta/potato or bread. That way, you know you won't overdo on those things. After a while your whole relationship with food will change.

At home, get creative, there are some great recipes out there.

Instead of telling yourself, "I CAN'T have.........." say, "I DON'T eat......." Just that small change in your thinking, takes it from feeling deprived to feeling empowered.

You will find what works for you, in time, be patient. You got this!

NSV's are things like being able to do something you couldn't before, etc...

NSV's cover near-infinite territory as one's body fills less territory. They include everything from wearing smaller sizes to sitting in a theater seat without hips being bruised to getting in and out of cars more easily. You will recognize and relish each of your own as you go along.

It means = Non-scale victories. Victories along your journey that don't include a number on the scale. :)
