Considering that I've lost 84 pounds now, (haven't updated ticker yet), I've had some pretty good NSV's in the past. You know, the "wow, you've lost a lot of weight", and "you're looking really good" from people, especially from people that hadn't seen me in a while, but today I was blown away!
I was talking to my boss, who knows I've been trying to lose weight and knows that I've been really stuck lately on a major plateau, and she mentioned that I looked like I had lost some more weight. I told her that my plateau had finally broken and that the weight has been coming off really fast lately. She then asked me how much more I was planning on losing and I told her that my goal was approx. 35 more pounds. She stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at me head to toe and said "no way". She then said that I wasn't that big and to lose that much more would make me way too skinny!....... Needless to say, I stood there, shocked with a really stupid look on my face and didn't know what to say!
I'm still shaking my head. I remember a million thoughts running through my head when she said that, anything from, "gee, she's just being nice", to, "wow, I wish I could see myself the way she sees me".
Anyways, I've been walking around with a big smile on my face and a little extra bounce in my step all morning! I just wish now, than I could see me the way others see me! I still kind of see the "old me" in the mirror I think. But, this NSV sure got to me. Maybe I'll start seeing something new in the mirror now.
Best NSV Yet!
I know how much that means. Congratulations, hon! 
I can't wait until I am where you are Congrats.
I know I'm actually getting there finally. And yes, I do feel really good about it. As far as seeing myself as I really am in the mirror, that might take a while, but having comments like I did this morning was a real wake up call.
