NSV
Well yesterday I decided to go shopping for some new shirts as my other ones where falling off my shoulders! Yes I still went to the big ladies store ( Pennington's), I was in there picking out sizes that I was hoping to get into. Before surgery I was wearing a 5X because I needed the length because I am tall a don't like showing off my tire rim! So thought I would go to a size 3X, and to my surprise they where still to big, then I tried a 2X and the lady said they looked still to big so she made me try a 1X and it fit but I was so nervous to accept that it fit properly I had to ask the other sales lady her opinion as well! (The fat girl mind was still haunting me saying no way!) I am truly so happy and proud that I did this! Oh I even went outside my comfort zone and got nice bright summer colours other than black! WooHoo!

Congratulations Angela. There are so many indicators, other than the scale, which can tell us, "You're doing a good job; continue to stick with your plan!"
I think we could all write something about the "fat girl mind" and self-impressions. Nowadays, I am feeling lighter, bouncier and less fluffy.
I'm so happy for you. Continued success!

That's AWESOME!!! I got my Pennington's coupon in the mail (spend $80 get $40 off) but I'm not sure if there is anything I want right now, I might look for a new bathing suit for the summer.
I had a NSV at Torrid last week, I always wanted a romper/jumpsuit for the summer but being 5'6 and round they never looked right. I of course went and grabbed a size 3 (size 22/24) and found that it was way too big, I guess I didn't realize how much weight I had lost, I ended up with a romper in a size 1 (size 14/16). I was doing a happy dance in the dressing room lol. I finally have a waist and the romper looked good!
Wishing you many more NSV!
All the best, Sonja
