Today's NSV
I've had a very stressful week but I do have something positive to share - an NSV (non-scale-victory). I met someone new at a meeting today, a woman who doesn't know my bariatric history and who has lost about 200 lbs herself. [I don't know just how she did it. She's still big, but has a great attitude - kind of an "I'm a work in progress" approach.] We had lunch after the meeting and this very nice lady told me, "If I was as small as you are, I'd eat all day long." I told her I hadn't always been this small, and then the conversation went on to a different topic. Being perceived as very small, and/or as someone who could never have been obese, is still a novelty to me!

The gap between my actual and my mental body size is disconcerting at times, but in a way, that's OK, because I never want to forget how far I've come and can't afford to take my weight loss and smaller size for granted!
