What are your top three recent NSVs?

 Wore one of my favorite pairs of size 12 shorts to go hiking this morning

Did stair training for hiking this week and outclimbed the guy in charge.


Raided old box of clothes, wearing a 40DD bra instead of the 44DD bra that I've been wearing since surgery 

1. Saw some friends I haven't seen in a while.  They just gushed about how I looked.  It was so nice!

2. I've been able to eat chicken without getting sick.

3.  Wearing the small clothes in my closet

I lived in my red bikini on the boat during the day. Walked around in public and everything. Hubby said I didn't have any wayward skin hanging out in places I didn't want it hanging out. So, I was out there, babeeees!

OMG, you in your red bikini on the boat!  Gina, just how cool is that!!!  I've seen the pics so I know you rocked it, and that without plastics.  You go girl!

I have so many!

I can wear my engagement and wedding band again.

I can shop in a regular department store.

I can exercise, and want too!

No more diabetes or htn!

No more reflux!

I no longer snore.

The list can go on and on!

I bet DH loves that no snoring part.  :)

Congrats on so many successes Maria!

thank you all for your inspiration.
i am only 12 days out, but i have 1 NSV.

1. Eating just enough; knowing "full" vs "satisfied."  Before, I just ate and ate and ate and never felt FULL.  Now I LOATHE feeling full.  Too uncomfortable.

Tracey,

You're doing great!   I can so relate to eating and eating and eating pre-op and never feeling full.  I bet many of us can.  For me there seems to be a trigger.  If I eat a few bites too many, something switches in my body and I suddenly want to keep eating. 

Kudos on a great start to your journey.

What a fun thread!

#1: One the clearace rack at Target....with only really big and really small sizes left...I found some AWESOME jeans for $5 in the small section!

#2: One of my staff memebrs at work, who I consider tiny, walking up to me and saying "you are so small I could just pick you up".....It is kind of funny, I have heard that a couple of times now....people seem to want to pick me up like a little kid!

#3: I took my measurements yesterday....My hips were 33.5"...that seems freekish to me!

~A fellow teacher told me this week that she was looking at old pictures of us and couldn't believe the difference in me. She said Danielle I never thought you were big before but looking at those pictures and looking at you now it is incredible. I said well I feel a lot better and that is all that matters. She was a non believer before I guess the proof was in the pudding or lack there of. I had to laugh.
 
~Youth group dinner today I saw some people I haven't seen in a year they didn't recognize me. They said they couldn't believe how little I am. Pants I had on today were size 2. Far cry from an 18w.

~I have been doing ZUMBA 3 days a week. I have actually gained weight doing this but have a lot more energy and feel like I am toning up a bit. Maybe muscle weighs more than fat.
