What are some of your Non Scale Victories (NSV's)

I saw my surgeon yesterday for my post op visit, and he cut one of my bp meds to half!

I can run! Not because someone is chasing me, but because I want to! Wearing a swim suit without being self conscious. Fitting in airplane seats.

Thanks Travelergirl you must have sent me those good thoughts. I found my ring at 4:30 AM. Yes, AM. It was another sleepless night worrying. I was digging in my drawer with a flashlight trying to keep from waking my husband. The light hit the diamond and I saw the sparkle. Well, I did wake my husband when I let out an scream. He thought someone was in the house. LOL

1: I wear a legit bikini to the beach now, flabby belly and all, don't even care.

2: I can surf for two hours without getting tired

3: size MEDIUM dresses at Old Navy!

4: My legs aren't swollen with edema from carrying all the weight anymore

5: I don't have to lean all the way to one side when I go to buckle my seatbelt in the car

6: Chub rub isn't even a thing anymore. I wear skirts with wild abandon.

More NSV's, it helps detract from the thinning hair

I'm on my third throw out from my closet and even had to throw some new thinner cloths out !!! I pretty much have nothing old left. I literally put on every item and can't believe how tight they used to be, just look like a sack of potatoes now.

 

This is all I have left and the top left section is my BF's cloths.

New smaller cloths take up a lot less room and weight in the suitcase.

And whoever said you need to get to a size 14 before folks really notice was absolutely right, one lovely comment from my Indian colleague that was here visiting and last saw me 70lbs heavier " you are reducing a lot "

The back seat seat belt fit! I usually have to sit up front foe the seat belt to fit. Well, I was able to get in the back of two different cars this weekend and both seat belts fit!

Nearly six months out and so many NSVs

I recently arrived on holiday in Europe for a week of fun in the sun, unfortunately my bag decided it wanted to hang out in New York, it took two days to catch up with me. With no hot weather clothes with me I was forced to go shop for clothes in the limited resort shops but ..... clothes fitted !! I cant believe I could actually shopped easily in these shops and found stuff that fitted to get me through. 6 months ago I would have to have bought mens tshirts and sports shorts to get me through.

Still love fitting into airplane seats, no one elbows me in the side because I spill into their space, the tray table comes down without resting on my stomach and the seat belts feel big !!!

Over all the general feeling of happiness is amazing. Going out wearing pretty clothes and feeling good in them, strangers compliments, I am off the alcohol and just high on life, I party longer than anyone else having the best time. Waking up refreshed ready to hit it hard again the next day.
