NSVs :) Finally!
I've been very depressed lately, I mean EXTREMELY, so I wanted to make a post of some NSVs that I've had recently.
- Fit into a back seat seatbelt... with a little wiggle room! Woah! Was surprised I even fit in the back seat in the first place actually
- Have been squeezing sideways through areas without realizing it and then looking back at the area I squeezed through (without touching the sides) and thought "Oh **** I fit through that?!"
- Finally went shopping for clothes because all of my clothes are officially tents on me. I was "wearing" 28s before surgery but that was only in a few items that I had left in rotation. If I went into the store NOTHING in the stores would fit me. I would have to wear my dress pants open and attach elastic string to hold them up. So I was realistically wearing a 32 in pants but I never tried one on. So when I went shopping my jeans are now a 26! Most of them are tight in the waist area (biggest problem area) but I guess that's okay since I'm losing. I like my clothes very lose though.
- If the pants were very jeggings/very stretchy type pants I even fit a 24! WTF! That was only in 2 very special pairs of pants though.
- Before surgery I wore 46KK bras and I've officially outgrown(?) all of them. The band around doesn't fit at all. My boobs will practically try to slide under it and what's left of my boobs just float around aimlessly in the cup because it doesn't fill out the bra anymore. To me this is a depressing NSV because my giant boobs were part of my identity and I felt like it's the only thing that made me attractive BUT it's an NSV because it shows that I'm losing weight. So I am going to get new, fitted, bras tomorrow and hopefully the girls will look good again.
-I don't know if this counts as an NSV but I want to but it out there anyway because this process is making me go through so many things.... I started seeing a therapist. I'm leaving in 10 minutes to see her again but I'll actually be seeing TWO of them. So hopefully next time my NSV will be that I don't cry every day anymore.
- I don't know if this is one either but I don't breathe hard when I eat or try to talk or any of that. I remember posting here about what I look forward to. I don't do that anymore :)
I can't think of anything else. I just wanted to post to remind myself of some good things that are happening with me and even though the numbers aren't moving as fast as I'd like, my body is still responding... I have exactly 6 pounds to get to 299!
Have a good day ladies. :)

Great job listing your NSVs! Feel free to come back and re-read them when you are feeling down. Do the work (the emotional work). Depression can be beat. Hang in there. You are worth the effort!

I know you've been having a difficult time recently.....you seem to doing so well in the WL numbers....4.2 last week, 3.2 the previous week. And look how close you are to that 299 number. But hopefully the therapist will work with you on that.
Great NSVs and, of course, they all count! If it's an NSV to you...it's one to us! What a positive list! I just hope you see them as a great accomplishment!
PS----New bras---nothing better to lift the girls and lift your self esteem!

Dang that's a LOT of NSV's!! How did the therapy appt. go? Hope you found a keeper!
I know how hard it is to lose a defining feature like your breasts, cuz I did too. But I found an even better one- my face! Who knew under all that fat was some bones! You too will find other, even more beautiful parts of your body that aren't just big ol' fat deposits!!!
Hope you are feeling grand today! Keep up the awesome work!!!
