One of my first NSVs (this one was actually before I had my surgery) was the ability to tie my shoes. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but at my highest weight, I could not tie my shoes while they were on my feet. If a shoe became untied, I had to take it off my foot, pick it up, tie it (loosely enough that I could slip it back on my foot), put it back down on the floor, and slip my foot back into it. And of course I didn't want anyone to see me doing that, so I would walk around with my shoe untied until I could find a spot out of anyone's view. I was so thrilled when I realized that I can just bend down and tie my shoes now! I've been able to do this for months, but I still smile to myself every time I tie my shoes.

My Mom died 10 years ago and my sister and I divided her personal belongings between us. My mom had a fabulous wardrobe but because I was at my top weight, I couldn't wear anything of hers. Last month, I asked my sister to pick me out one or two items that were Mommy's since I can fit them now. My sister generously picked out several of her most gorgeous outfits and I can fit them all now! It feels surreal, like a dream. It's another way to connect with her now that she's in heaven. ☺️

This is what I could have written word for word as the weight came off. Down 100 lbs from program start-4 months out. Skin isn't exactly model but not near as bad as I expected it to be at this point. Baths are now a pleasure and the seat belt is always a thrill for me.

The holidays are amazing for me for the clothes I'm fitting into. Sitting in my recliner sofa is always strange to me for being able to sit sideways easily and fit all 3 chihuahuas, a kitten and even add my bunny, Gomez Addams the side of me on the chair and my now existent lap lol.

I work now in a factory; tired feet but no excruciating pain. And the bath I can now take feels amazing after a few days straight of lifting. It's a good feeling. Helping the family now and finding it easier to take care of our animals and home. Just walking in a store without problems walking or pain is insane surreal to me every single day!

We went looking for a new car and I wanted a compact SUV but was worried about fitting in the seat. Had no problem whatsoever during the test drive and it felt roomy!

Also when my pants start falling down (when I'm at home! [emoji23]). I've had to tighten the drawstring on my favorite sweatpants 3 times but I'm going to wear them as long as possible!

A few of my favorite (in no particular order):

- A standard bath towel fits all the way around with overlap

- I went on a 6 mile walk/hike yesterday and felt great. Before, walking around the block would have caused major pain both during and after.

- Knee high boots

- Out for a walk during a break at work and was disappointed I could only do 1 mile (it was a short break). I realized not only is walking almost every day a habit, it's something I actively look forward to and regret when I miss or have to shorten.
