I thought that we could use an NSV thread again. Seems last week was a rough one, and maybe if we pat ourselves on the back more this month, we'll be lighter for it!

Imagine if we had an NSV every single day- I wonder what the result would be at the end of the month. How many NSV's does it take to have a SV? I will report back with my findings.

Mine for today:

At lunch, I ate till I was satisfied. Not full, not hungry, just perfectly right in the middle.

Today, I'm holding strong on not heading for the vending machine for a massive dose of chocolate. The fact that I don't have any cash on me, the ATM only sipenses in multiples of $20 and the machine only takes change, $1's and $5's is helping!

OK, this is going to sound petty, but here it is. I saw a co-worker today that I haven't seen in quite awhile. She was always smaller than me, and sometimes made comments about women who were bigger than me. I always felt as though those comments were really directed at me. Anyway, I saw her today, and now I'm smaller than her. She had nothing to say to me at all. I contemplated initiating a conversation with her (admittedly just so she would have to stand there and look at me) but I didn't. I let it go, but it felt good knowing there wasn't a comment in the world she could make.

ok...I think I must be braindead. Is there an acronym dictionary here? What is NSV and SV? (I'm sure it is totally obvious).

calgary- NSV is a Non-Scale Victory!

Kelly- don't ever say that your NSV's are petty! those are the things that keep us going and we should be proud of them. Especailly yours- that IS a good one!

Hmmm, I got in all my servings of fruits and veggies, healthy oils, and a 1/2 hr of exercise yesterday. It was a really really good, on plan, nothing-i-could-have-done-better, thange will come from this day!

My NSV -- faithfully writing in my journal no matter what!!!!

I'm mostly a lurker, but thought I'd play.

My NSV this week was actually today. I have a really bad cold, and today I just had the worst cravings for comfort foods. Instead I ate an orange. Not only did it taste great, but it curbed my cravings. I was pleasantly surprised, and later after dinner when I added up my points and was right on target for the day, I knew it was because I made the choice to eat that orange.
