amom 0 Posted August 25, 2007 <p>I have to share my NSV. Yesterday on my daily walk I found every few steps I was pulling up my pants, so when I got home I went shopping in my daughters closet and tried on her pants, THEY FIT. She wasn't very happy that I stole her pants, but I sure am. Started at a size 30W now a 22W, long way to go but I'm on my way. I can't remember the last time I was in a 22.</p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boo Boo Kitty 3 Posted August 25, 2007 Congratulations, good for you! Isn't it damn nice you don't have to do the "Ask of Shame" as I call it, you know calling over the skinny a$$ flight attendant so she can call over the pa that you need an extender?? Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losingjusme 12 Posted August 25, 2007 thanks guys... and the worst thing is, i work for the airline and own an extender... sometimes i forget it and all the flight attendants know who i am so yeah, not a good thing... i wasnt even going to try it, but so glad i did!!

lapbandliz 0 Posted August 26, 2007 I just got off a plane, too. And, not only did I not need an extender, but I fit in the seat with the armrest down and the tray table came all the way down!!!!! I was so excited!!!! I still have a long, long way to go, but hey, its a start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ready4it 0 Posted August 26, 2007 Congrats! I cannot wait for that feeling of being able to fit comfortable and not ask for the extender. Btw, excuse me if I sound dumb, but what is NSV? Or DH? I always see these terms and I'm just trying to figure out what they mean... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amom 0 Posted August 26, 2007 I forgot to add I haven't driven in several months and today I borrowed my daughters little kia car and for the first time I didn't rub the steering wheel. I also walked to the store twice today which is a mile, with a long hill at the end. I feel so proud I could burst. You see, no more wheelchair walker or cane for me, I sent them to the nursing home. NSV means Non scale victory and DH is Dear husband. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cindi 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Congrats to all! I just got back from vacation...the belt fit, I could even cinch it, and the tray table went down, and I could read my magazine while it was laying down flat on the table! It DOES feel great! NSV's are the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
