Two Non Scale Victories

Yesterday I wore a rain coat I haven't worn in 25 years. I kept it thinking one day I will overcome my obesity, even though I lost sight of that and doubted it many times. Today, I took a bath and when I got out of the tub, I was able to just stand staight up and get out. Prior to my weight loss I had to roll over get on my hands and knees and get up that way.

Happy!

And when you do it will feel great. My weight loss has been VERY slow, 40lbs in 7 months, but little victories like this make me very, very happy. I also have to keep in perspective that I could never lose more then 12bs without gaining that back and more.

I think I respect those little "wows" more than the big ones. I find myself, when sitting in a chair,lurching forward to get up because my tummy is in the way to be able to just lean forward then stand. Kind of like when I was pregnant! I look forward to the day when I "locate" bones I lost years ago! I know they're there SOMEWHERE!!!

Congratulations on your wow moment!

I so hear you. I've learned to look at all the changes along the way rather then the number on the scale. I am at the point now where "everything is re-arranging" and that is fine with me.

Thanks Gina. I have found in my journey, these little wow's are as important if not more important then the number on the scale! You are the best! Thanks for the support.

That is very exciting! Good luck finding those buttons. I love the goals you've set for yourself. They seem very reasonable, healthy and similar to the ones my team set for me!. Let's stay in touch!
