Big NSV and I don't really have anyone to tell it to!

[ANewJourneyAwaits 155]

So, I haven't really told many people about my surgery. A few close friends know, my mom, and my sister. I tell my mom everything so she knows, but out of my few close friends, only one was really supportive--everyone else was a bit hesitant. They all struggle with their weight, including my sister. So I don't like sharing my victories as they all start feeling bad about themselves. But today was huge and I want to share with someone other than my amazing and supportive mom. I laid down today to do sit-ups and I could actually see and feel my ribs starting to show through. I thought it was too good to be true so I videoed myself and lo and behold, I could see them quite prominently. I haven't seen them since 2015/2016. I am so excited! I can't see them standing up, obviously, but man was it a surprise laying down. Just really happy! I also tried on a shirt that was too tight before and now it is baggy.

Anyway, that was my NSV. Thanks for listening!

That's amazing! No matter how big or small a victory is a victory and you should be proud.

Congratulations.

We love a NSV here. So share all you want. NSVs always made me want to do a celebratory dance. So fabulous.
