New NSV :)



Recommended Posts

It's been quite warm here for a few days, so for the past 3 days I've worn my comfy long flowing summer skirts. I've always avoided wearing skirts such as these, because without stockings, my thighs rubbed together and chafed something horrible - often to the point of bleeding.

Well, for the past three days I've been the most comfy girl in the world LOL. My thighs haven't touched even once. I'm going to go out and get a couple more of these lil gems because they're just soooooooo easy to wear in the summer and now I can hehe.

You go girl! That is a HUGE NSV. I am very proud for you. My advise is to keep a list of all your NSV as you go along for it helps to look back at all these great little miracles when you are at a plateau in your wt loss (like I am right now).

Have a great day and ENJOY the new freedom of skirts with no stockings!

Gosh, I just love those long, flowing skirts and because I live in Miami, FL, the weather is always appropriate to wear them, but too hot for pantyhose. I too have the chaffing and bleeding, really painful and awful. Congrats to you, enjoy those skirts and feel as sexy as I am sure you are in them. Any chance of a couple of pics with you wearing one of those lovely skirts? Just thought I'd ask, I love seeing the pictures, they are sooooo inspirational to me.

We used to joke about "fat rash". I remember hot summer weather walking home from school, I used to suffer terribly, havent done in recent years because I wouldnt wear a skirt if I was going to be walking around outside in the heat.

But I used to get it badly when I was a measly 80kg (I'm 5ft 10) - that's what I mean about my goal weight needing to be at the low end of my healthy weight range, down in the 60's. And wearing a tight denim skirt in the hot weather?Ouch!

Those victories are just coming thick and fast for you now arent they? And everytime I look at your stats, your weight is lower. Way to go!

WTG! I always wear shorts under my skirts & dresses just because of the chafing. I cannot wait for the day I can post this NSV myself! Awesome!

That's right up there with the aggrivation of your shorts riding up one leg. Never figured out why they only ride up on one side, any way, that was my nsv this summer, no more shorts riding up my legs, walking a foot, then pulling it out, come on ladies you've been there I know, LOL.

roflmao! yes I've been there. Its sooooooo not a good look isnt it?

All I can say is thank GOODNESS for the last 3 or 4 years I've been really heavy fashion here has been mainly 3/4 length pants. Shorts havent been a big thing. I really havent worn them for a couple of years, not because I"m too embarrassed to but because they're just not around much in the shops.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
