Who Wants To Share Some Recent NSVs??

[Catherine55 43]

I can't help it. . I love hearing about everyone's NSVs (non-scale victories). They are just plain inspiring. If you have some to share, please post away! :sad:

Here are a few recent ones I have had:

- Being able to shop in the regular department and finding out that I am finally back in a size 12 (OMG!!!);

- I can wear heels all day without my feet killing me;

- I can run without my compartmental syndrome (a co-morbidity) cutting off my circulation and pinching my nerves! In fact, I am going to run the Komen Race for The Cure in September!

I could go on, but I really want to hear other people's!

I can see my toes in the shower

I have a regular period again

I can cross my legs like a lady

I have an insane amount of energy

Being winded is a thing of the past

I'm able to dig out old clothes and put them back on

There's a ton more but I'm more interested in what others have to say :sad:

OMG I was in the shower this morning and saw my toes and thought what are those things in the bottom of the shower.

I bought a peddal bike for the first time in 20 years and am riding.

Able to sit in a booth at a restaurant without having to move the table back.

Heal spur not hurting everytime I walk.

So much energy am cleaning areas in the house would never thought of cleaning before.

Just a few and hardly wait for more to come my way:thumbup:

Thanks for posting these. I can't wait for the day I add my own. I'm just starting my journey so it'll be awhile but it WILL happen! Congrats to all of you!

I had my first true NSV yesterday. I made a small road trip out of town to visit an old friend. I was trying to figure out what to wear, and decided to break open my under-the-bed storage bin with my "skinny" clothes on the small chance that something might fit. I was able to fit into one of my most favorite outfits ever, and it fit me perfectly. I haven't been able to wear this outfit since I graduated college in 2006. I was so happy!!

I enjoy reading everyone else's as well as posting my own. Isn't it exciting??!!

Just bought size 18 shorts - started this journey in a tight size 28. Was last in a size 18 about 20-25 years ago.

When out walking, when no one is around, I try running and have jogged in place at home. Not a long time, but I do it!!

I can reach my toenails to paint them.

Seeing my reflection in a window as I pass by - I used to think "who is that?" when I was heavy, but now do the same thing as I'm getting smaller. Not really sure how I have been perceiving myself.

Not constantly wondering what I'm going to have for the next meal or 5!

Keep in mind, I haven't worn anything but elastic waist in years.

Happy victories all! :sad:

I'm always cold--never hot, ever!

I sleep better at night.

These are great and I am happy to add that

• I can fit a 16 with room and haven't been there since 1995
  
• I can tie my shoes without feeling like all the blood is rushing to my head
  
• I can sit in a restaurant booth without my stomach touching the table.
  
• I can fasten the airplane seatbelt without a panic attack
  
• I can ride roller coasters again :sad:

I am happy to hear about your compartment syndrome! I suffer from it too and HATE running just because of it...looking forward to possibly running painfree (relatively) myself soon! :sad:

Komen -- are you talking about Ben Komen? I'm such a fan....was inspired by his appearance and talk at a Tom Ferry Coaching event a year or two ago. Good for you, and good luck!!!
