DH and I went to eat at a restaurant the other night and I went to use the restroom while he was seated. When I came out he was in a booth. YES, I SAID A BOOTH!!!! Well, I was looking at MY side of the booth, (did I mention that it was a booth???) and it didn't look very big to me. I looked at DH's side and thought his looked A LOT BIGGER. So, I decided to scoot the table as I sat down to move it to his side more, but, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, when I sat down, I FIT!!! I couldn't even believe it!!! I never thought I would ever be sitting in a booth and not have my big fat enourmous stomach smooshed against the table so tight that I could not breathe. BUT, there is another but, there was about 5 inches or more between me and the table...WHAT???? with room to spare...I got tears in my eyes and so did DH...what a great great feeling. I was so elated the rest of the night and when I type about it now, I am getting that same feeling. :whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:Can't wait for the other NSV's that are coming my way very soon!!!

I had the same feeling a few weeks ago in a booth. Then it got better, I went to use the bathroom and I could fit in a regular stall without the door hitting me in the chest or stomach. I just opened the door like a normal person. I usually used the handicap stall, but someone was in there...I was so happy!

Thank you all for the nice words. I also love to read about the nsv's. I think they are better than the scale moving sometimes!!!!

Congratulations!! I think you've had a victory for all of us. Funny how we automatically look for those little things, can I sit here, can I fit here, etc.

Way to go.

I remember the first time that a booth was not scary for me and my boobs were not going to be on the table, it was wonderful, now I ask for a booth!! I would do a Toyota jump (It's a great feeling) but uh no, not yet,lol
