Non-Scale Victory: AIRPLANES!



Recommended Posts

I've lost more than 50 pounds, but I swear this is the first time I've REALLY felt it: sitting on an airplane and easily putting on the seatbelt. Not only did I put it on [something I couldn't always do before QQ] but I put it on without tugging, pulling, or "sucking it in". And then, when I dropped my tray table, it didn't immediately bounce back up off my belly -- NAY! THERE WAS ROOM BETWEEN THE TOP OF MY THIGHS AND THE TRAY TABLE!

I can't remember the last time I could use a tray table on an airplane. It's dumb, but it's horribly exciting.

Thats so funny because thats so me. I travel alot for business and personal and its becoming less enjoyable because of that. Having to fly for hours feeling so uncomfortable. Im looking forward to making that progress.

Congrats! That's an awesome nsv. I hate flying for those reasons. Can't wait till i can get on a plane and not need an extender and be able to properly use the tray table. Funny the things some people take for granted. It sounds silly but god is it sooooooo incredibly validating.

Congrats! This is one NSV I am definitely looking forward to myself, as I often fly a lot as well due to living abroad.

It's not dumb at all. I remember tossing my seat belt extender. It was one of my first NSVs. Congratulations on your progress!

Oh my God, this would be the dream! Can't wait to do my surgery and start my journey. Honestly travel is so uncomfortable at certain weights....and this is a huge accomplishment for you! Congrats :)

It was really great honestly. T_T I could even CROSS MY LEGS in the chair.

I can so relate to this. I still need a seat belt extender on some planes but I know I'm making progress cuz I don't use much of the extender. I too have this same NSV goal.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
