Default Tootin' you horn
I realize that accomplishments deserve recognition and I LOVE seeing people on this site posting their NSV's and mini-goals. For some reason I can't bring myself to toot my horn. Do you ever feel awkward tooting your own horn?

Yes, at first. And then I realized that if I didn't 'toot my own horn', no one else was going to do it for me! I think becoming comfortable with celebrating your accomplishments is just another step on this journey. Good Luck!

Ok, I have a really dumb question (I will prove that there is such a thing) , what on Earth is an NSV? I have seen this thrown around on this board, but have no clue what it is!

I also have a hard time tooting my own horn, but I think that comes from years of low self image/esteem. As I'm even getting complements from others, I have a very hard time with what to say and it makes me so uncomfortable...but not as uncomfortable as I felt in the high end of my weight!

I'm actually the exact opposite, to the point where I'm annoying people. I don't think that I brag about it, but I do like to tell people what I've been doing because I mostly wish that my friends could jump on the healthy bandwagon with me.

I used to feel guilty but then I realized that I deserve to toot my own horn and be proud of myself for once! :-).

I get this. I still don't make my own posts, just reply, because of that same mind-set. Everyone here is so nice and friendly...but I fear being "that girl" too much to do so.

Oh well....

I sometimes have a hard time celebrating my victories, but I realized that people want to share them with me and they'll never know if I don't tell them in alot of cases (especially in an online community). And besides, here on 3FC, your accomplishments serve as motivation for the rest of us on our journies!

In the real world, yes. I don't generally go around broadcasting my successes (weight or otherwise). On the internet in general and on 3FC, no, not really. I figure, if everybody else gets to post about their little victories, I should be able to, too.

IMHO, by tooting your own horn, you may inspire someone to find their own internal drive. They may listen to your personal victory and find encouragement, or they may just think to themselves "I would really like to be able to say that about myself."
