Twenties NSVs

[drew05 20]

Well I'm getting ready for a trip to South Padre for Spring Break and I was going through my stuff pulling out my swim trunks and everything... and put them on... they won't even stay on. They are soooo big on me. Last summer these fit me incredibly tightly. Made me feel really good

OMG! I SHOP AT banana REPUBLIC!!!!! I dont even wear the largest size!

Idk if I ever posted it here but The GAP had been my white whale. BUT now I am passed the GAP I hardly ever look there anymore!

I guess i have lost the longing for what was once unattainable. Major progress.

awesome snaps-- i'm jealous! i still havent made the transition from gap to banana, but i have stopped shopping at gap mostly now. soon!

ok-- heres a good one for me. sorry to the boys here who don't understand this NSV.

alright, so for the last few days.. ive just been feeling.. well, FAT. not confident at all, just super fat, even though ive already lost all this weight and im in smaller size clothes. then all of a sudden today, it hit me (literally) when i found out i had just started my period. all this time, i was feeling BLOATED!! you know, like a normal size woman feels during their period. all my adult life i have never felt "bloated" during this time of the month because... well, i was bloated ALL the time, and i just didnt know the difference!

ive never been happier to feel fat. hahaha

So I don't have that many since I havn't lost that much weight yet, BUT......

1. Noticeable enough at work that my scrubs are getting loose on me and my charge nurse calls me saggy pants lol

2. Bra and underwear fitting better (like their supposed to)

3. My wedding ring slides on and off easier :cursing:

OMG! I totally understand! I never felt "bloated" before losing all of this weight.

**Speaking of where I want to shop when I bring my sexy back lol, I love METROPARK and Urban Outfitters!!! Also, maybe just to fit into BeBe would be nice :laugh:

these NSVs keep happening every day it feels like, which is AWESOME- but i need a place to remember them all (and i want to share them with people!) so hopefully no one here minds that i fill this thread up and hopefully someone looking into the band sees how wonderful it really is.

so today was a good day, despite things that would normally suck.

1- even though i had class at 8am on a saturday and was an hour late, two really skinny and pretty girls asked me to have lunch with them later (and girls, you know what im talking about. it only matters because they are those stereotypically "pretty" girls and to formerly fat girls like myself, i was rarely asked to eat with these girls until they got to know me.)

then 2- i came home and saw my neighbor who asked if i wanted to hang out with her and some friends at her place, but i told her i was a little busy and would "try." well not one but two of her guy friends came up and starting chatting me up, asking my name etc, and i think i know flirting when i see it.

so 3-- the two above things didnt mean much to me all day, but then tonight when i was with my other friend nora (the girl in the red dress next to me in my pictures), she goes "jane-- seriously now, you are getting SMALLER." and i go, "really? yeah, i am aren't i!" and she was like, "yeah, i noticed it the other day when you were talking to that guy outside your apartment. i saw you and was like-- daaaaamn!"

haha so anyways, funny NSVs, not significant in the grand scheme of things but its the little moments that count, right?

I had an NSV today! I was able to clean most of my house today without getting really winded! I have been working out lately and it's been helping my overall stamina. I'm being banded in 4 days and I have already made huge progress toward my goal.

So... I was banded on Thursday! It was a lot more painful than I expected, but I'm making it. I'm slowly getting my fluids down for the first time today. It was hard yesterday, and the pain is getting better. I'll keep you all posted!

I have a similar NSV like that-- today I wore some jeans from high school that were tight on me then... and now they are too LOOSE! cant wait to go jeans shopping next week. :sneaky:

yesterday, we had really nice weather for once so i went to the rec center wearing some capri sweats from last year (when they fit kind of like spandex on me). BIG MISTAKE!! i started jogging (i know right-- me? ME? jogging?!) and the pants started falling DOWNNNNN! awesome.
