Is this what you call an NSV?

Just wanted to share!  Though I am not sure at all this is what you call an NSV, so please correct me if I'm wrong! lol!!!

Yesterday, my husband took me shopping.  Why?  Well I keep complaining that my almost 80 pounds loss doesn't show, and I keep asking him for reassurance every night!  I make him touch me everywhere (he is not complaining about that part I have to say!) and tell me where he "feels" the loss, cause I don't see it.

Plus, he can't bare seeing me in my baggy clothes anymore.

So here I go, shopping.  I dno't want to buy too much, so I settled for a pair of jeans, and a training kit (pants, shirt and jacket), oh yeah and 2 bras and some underwear!

So last time I shopped, I was a size 5X in pants and shirt, a size 48DDD no wire of course for the bras.  Yesterday, I bought perfect size clothes 3X and a 44D bra.  Finally, I looked at myself in my mirror this morning, and I felt good.  I felt sexy, I felt beautifull.  3X isn't bad.

Made me remember when I was a 2-3X, and how and didn't despite myself as much as I did with a 5X.  Made me remember that I use to feel good about myself.  Not perfect, no.  But good.  I KNOW I have a self esteem issue, I nenver loved my body, even when I was a perfect size/shape and sporty girl!  This process is showing me where I was wrong, it's showing me a new perspective on myself.

I am starting to like myself, my look!  Oh don't get me wrong, I WILL NOT STOP there!  NO WAY!  This is too good of a feeling to not go further! lol!!!

thanks for reading, and of course for all your support!

That is indeed a NSV!! Way to go lady! And I might say what a clever way to distract your mind in having your spouse appreciate and fill you in on your progress. *grin*

Its always harder to see ourselves the way we are.
