Non Scale Victory Article by Cathy

I spend way too much time thinking about my pending surgery and searching this site, but I just found this article written by a familiar face 4years ago (Thanks CATHY!) but I think its a really good motivator I can't wait to accomplish some of these!

My NSV Goal: I'm wearing Jeans that fit ok standing up, but I'm sitting at my desk at work and my stomach is popping out over the top of my jeans so I have to keep pulling my shirt down to cover my belly.  I want that to be my first NSV, to no longer have a "Dun Lapped pair of Jeans"...

I'm so glad that you found my article helpful.  Thanks for your post.

NSV's are the best.  Sure, the scale is good but NSVs are those life moments that we remember and make a difference in our lives.  Your NSV goal is a great one.  I know you'll make your Dun Lapped pair of jeans NSV.  Please post when you do.

When is your surgery date?  

My package was submitted to insurance for review Tues, but the Surgeons office said it has a good chance of approval.  If all goes well the surgeon has forecasted the second - third week of Feb for the surgery.  Fingers crossed all goes well!

Thanks again Cathy

I hope you hear soon and that you're approved.  Just think, this time next month, you have a good chance of being a post-op.  

Please post when you hear about your approval.  I've got my fingers crossed for you.
