Twenties NSVs



Recommended Posts

Yay for you!

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. :blink:

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.

Jane you must be so excited!! You look great in your pic ! Keep up the good work.:)

Everyone is doing so wicked - Jane I can relate -at the end of the day yesterday my jeans were literally falling off... My roommate was in hysterics, as I was trying to clean.

My first big NSV was getting ready at my parents house to go out for st. patty's on Tuesday my mom suggested a pair of boots I bought online years ago but never did up over my calves... And they did! Yeah I had to sort of slouch them a bit to get the zipper all the way done, but I got them there! Over jeans no less! Felt great.

So a couple weeks ago I saw my younger brother, who is 21. I hadn't seen him since I had lost about 30lbs, and he had never said much about my weight loss. He's really a sweet kid, but too cool for school, in a rock band, too busy with his friends and guitar to notice me, haha! But I guess another 10lbs had made a difference cuz he said I looked tiny!! lol. Of course I'm not, but it was nice that he noticed! He said he could really tell a difference and I looked alot smaller. Made my day :smile:

omgggg-- some of the best NSVs i've been waiting for!!!

so last night i was out celebrating my 21st with some friends from high school that i havent seen in awhile, since its our spring break. not only did i wear a DRESS (size large) out in public, something i havent done basically EVER, but later in the night we met up with another friend of mine, who happened to be hanging out with my ex-boyfriend. well, immediately my friend gave me a hug and he goes "JANE you look so niiiiiiice" with a wink and my ex was a fumbling little puppy in front of me for the rest of the time. i havent seen him for about a year. the whole time he wouldnt stop paying attention to me and i wouldnt give him the time of day, why should i? he didnt pursue me that hard when i was heavier.

someone brought up that my brother was taking me to vegas some time in august, and i was telling my friend that i'll have my own hotel room so he was welcome to stay in my room, when my ex butted in and said "oh, well then im DEFINITELY coming!" i tried to be nice, but i was seriously, in my head, like sorry, you're not invited. thanks for breaking up with me, this ship has sailed!

oh man, that felt soooo good! all thanks to the band.. i have pictures from that night that i will post in a week or so, when my spring break is over.

I just got them a month ago and they're already falling off :rolleyes2:

woohoooo drew thats awesome! yeah you look so good in your pics-- but i hate to tell you, its time for some smaller sizes again! i know, horrible right? haha

today i went shopping to get some new jeans. SIZE FREAKING TWELVE! i was waiting for this moment for a long time.... the reason size 12 means so much to me is because the last vivid memory i have being in this size was 5th grade. TEN YEARS AGO! i only remember it because my friend (Who was a normal kid and super skinny) goes "im wearing a size 12".. meaning kids sizes. and i go "me too!" all surprised until i realized that i was actually in adult sizes. it was kind of embarrassing at the time. NOW IT ISNT EMBARASSING!! i fit into size 12 jeans at both Gap and Express. wow... this is going to take some time to get used to! but not too much time. :rolleyes2:

Months before surgery I bought a pair of size 20 slacks from Target on Clearance. I just figured that I would eventually be able to wear them. When I bought them I couldnt even button them.

We had to start wearing more "professional" clothes so I thought, I may as well see where I am in those pants. Well,...They barely fit!!! I seriously almost missed my opportunity with them :)

At work today (I've been wearing them for 3 weeks now) a coworker said they are too big for me.

A client that I worked with about a year ago came in today and said "Wow, you've lost a lot of weight".

Ok so I woke up this morning and decided to try on the spaghetti strap dress that I wore to my high school graduation(6/98) and it fit and is a little loose. It's a very big deal to me because it's the only dress that I own. I hated to wear dresses when I was bigger so I never bought any. Anyway, I just thought I'd share that. :thumbdown:

Another one for me. I just realized that my feet are not hurting anymore. I used to hardly be able to stand at the end of the day.

Now, they are just "normal"

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
