I've had a couple NSV's lately :

1) I brought my own chicken salad to a family function. No one said anything, but I know it was a bit "weird". Too bad for them, I am not eating the crap just because it's there. A reminder of this was on TBL when the families all had huge spreads of food.

2) I have these super sized towels -1 each for DH and I. Well mine was in the wash and I used a smaller towel (still the big size) and it actually tucked in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a HUGE thing. I was so shocked.

Cheers, Ginger

I love this thread. It is incredibly motivating!

I have one...I tried on two pair of pants in my closet that had not fit me (one pair was brand new!) and they both fit - I wore them to work this week! (now, if only someone at work would NOTICE! Not one person has said a word )

I have a funny one....

At the gym yesterday, I was in a hurry to get dressed. All day, I kept feeling like something was strange under my clothes. Well, do you know the saying "don't get your panties in a wad"? Well, I found out after my leg waxing that my panties were in a wad. I had put one leg through the waist band so that meant one of the leg openings was around my waist. Not the most comfy of fits....but....and here's the NSV.....how cool and fun that the leg of my panties DID fit around my waist! I think it's time to go shopping for new, smaller panties!

Oh my gosh that is funny. You didn't have to go to the bathroom all day and find this out lol.

That is terrific. Remember, some times people just don't know what to say. If they notice that means they notice how big you were and that might make you feel bad. If they don't say anything you think they don't notice. Believe me, they probably do notice.

Thanks for the laugh Kris. That is a riot!

My NSV this week is that my jeans were falling off of me at the playground today. I found myself hiking them up constantly. Nothing feels better than jeans that were sooo tight that I left the button undone now having a huge gap in the waist!

Cheers

Two things:

1st: This past weekend, I bought a few size 22 pants & size 18/20 tops! (I'm officially retiring from "size 24".) The pants are somewhat loose in places, too. So I know in a few months I'll be picking up a pair of 20's! The size 18/20 tops are only a tad snug around my hips (my widest body area), but when I tried on the 22/24 tops they were baggy & frumpy & hanging off of me in a very unflattering way. Too big! So, I'll be shrinking more into the 18/20 and within a few months I'm sure they'll fit great, perhaps by the time I need size 20 jeans It was just amazing to be in that dressing room and say "I'm a size smaller? ... I'm a size smaller ... I'm a size SMALLER! "


2nd: Just a small thing, but last night I was at game with my gamer friends, and they all ordered pizza, but I had brought my steamed rice & vegetables with shrimp. That pizza was calling my name in many romantic languages, but I ate my yummy food, and said to myself "That pizza is just food. It's just food." That put things into perspective, and when my friends offered me the last slice I was able to confidently say "No thank you, I'm full!"

No, that's not small at all. That's a biggie in my book!

Such great NSVs!!

I have a jean NSV also. I have two pairs, one has been getting steadily bigger and bigger on me and I just can't wear them anymore and the other pair has worn out by the pockets too much for me to wear. So last night I pulled on a pair of DH's jeans and they fit me! I definitely need to go shopping but it is nice that I fit into DH's jeans. :-)

Great topic...

My supportive DW went to our doctor today and he told her that he is really proud of my progress and that my health is improving everytime he sees me...It felt great to hear!!

Seems like everyday someone is dropping a size. That is TERRIFIC. Going to have to keep you all in snack size baggies before long so I can find you

I have a NSV. Recently, my DH was spooning me and said I had hollows around my middle. The next day I stood up and looked in the mirror. And sure enough there are two hollows where I have lost weight on both sides of my stomach. OMG I am getting a WAIST! ~ Gretchen

PS I love this thread. So very very inspiring.

I went to WalMart today wanting to buy a new shirt. I actually got into an 18/20! Unbelievable. I was in 26 for so long.
