HUGE NSV for me!!!!!
I've noticed as I have started to be able to do things I have not been able to do for years, that sometimes I have forgotten that I used to be able to do these things. Most of the time I find myself doing something and afterwards I'm like omg....did I just do that???
One of my favorite things used to be to take a nice long hot bath. But as I got bigger I was no longer able to do this. Well...until I moved into an apartment that had a garden tub. Then I just fit with no extra room, but I still enjoyed being able to take a bath again. When I moved into my house, it is an older home so it just has standard bath tubs. I had become so used to the garden tub that I didn't realize i couldn't even stand the normal way to shower, i had to turn to the side with my back to the wall so I could reach everything....
Recently, I bought some skin so soft bath oil from Avon, I guess subconciously I was ready to take a bath lol Now...I have done some pretty great things lately...like fit in the plane seat, movie theatre seats with the arms down, buckle my seat belt, get into size 20 jeans (ok they stretch but its still a 20 LOL) and be able to actually work out in the gym instead of only being able to swim...but while I was out living this fantastic life...it never crossed my mind to take a bath!!!!
Last night I was home by myself and I was like hmmmm...maybe I should just try...so i got the bath oil, my favorite towel...you get the idea...
well.......in I went!!!!! omg!!!! I FIT IN A NORMAL SIZE TUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was no water spilling out of the side...in fact i needed to add more water because my original estimate was not enough lol and there I lay...for the first time in 6 years...in my bathtub!!!!
I think I'm finally beginning to realize how much my life was limited physically...and I don't really know how i feel about that. I had a positive attitude always and didn't let it bother me, and now I see how much i was missing...but then i'm equally proud of myself that i did what i needed to do until i could get what i really needed....a life saving tool. So I'm not sad...just really grateful that my entire life has been such a blessing...i'm really touched...that's the only way i can explain it.

You have just inspired me! I haven't taken a bath in at least 6 years and then it was in a garden but that was heavenly and roomy. I have a claw foot tub upstairs that I am going to try this weekend. I have always been afraid with my weight and the water I would go falling right through the floor/ceiling to the floor below like the scene in the Money Pit.
Hopefully that doesn't happen and I will be around for the Monday Morning weigh in... :)
Congrats on your success!
