I have NSVs almost daily when I realize I am physically doing something that I didn't even realize before that I couldn't do.
For example, when I was able to pull my undies on without losing my balance or having to step into them when they were on the floor, or the day I was pulling socks out of the bottom drawer of my dresser and I realized my heels were touching my rear end instead of my thighs and calves keeping them from touching. Another one was a few months ago when I was clipping my toenails with my foot in front of me, easily, instead of having to crook my leg to the side, take a deep breath and bend over clip fast and furious and sit up to take a breath before moving onto the next one.
Aside from fitting into smaller clothing, I haven't had a lot of visual NSVs. I look in the mirror and I see the same me I saw back in January. I just don't see the weight loss. But yesterday I finally had one.
I was wearing a skirt and blouse that hugged my belly region. I was sitting in the car and I looked down into my lap. I was honestly puzzled because I couldn't figure out what looked just plain WRONG to me. When it dawned on me, I asked the hubs, "Hey, did you move the seat?" "Nope," came the reply. "Didn't my stomach use to touch the steering wheel?", I asked. "It sure did. You've lost 100 pounds honey, where do you think it came from?"
Holy crow.. there was a minimum of 9-10 inches of space between the steering wheel and where my tummy was.
Hooray for physical evidence my brain can actually accept (since apparently the mirror just isn't good enough...)
It choked me because I was fat. I think my chest pushed the seat belt into a weird angle. Although I've grown an inch since losing weight, so maybe it was because I was short! LOL!
