NSVs all over the place :-)
well ive have a good couple of days with some NSVs.
1. today i signed up at a gym YAY! SO EXCITED. but the lady asked how much i weighed (of course she was gonna weigh me but we were just talking) and i said 278 and she said....wait, where are you hiding 278 pounds at? cause you sure dont look like you weigh that much. i wanted to ask her how much she thought i weighed. but that was a great compliment. i will have to say i do carry my weight well. which means even though i wanna weigh 150, ill settle for 180 cause then ill LOOK 150 lol.
2. i havent taken a bath (only showers) since about 40 pounds ago. used to id have to get up or lift up my butt to le****er out when draining it, cause i was so wide, water couldnt flow around me. tonight, i didnt have to do that! i was so excited. i wanted to run another bath just to watch it again lol BUT i didnt wanna waste water :-)
3. used to when i took a bath, it was so hard for me to get up out of the tub. i would have to turn over onto my knees then pull myself up slowly almost not being able to. it was like a 10 minute process. tonight, when getting out, i just put my hand on the bar on the side of the tub we have and sat straight up. i didnt even realize what i had done until i looked down and was like...geez i just got up really fast w/ ease. wtf!? lol.
the little things that dont matter to other peple really matter to me. and im loving every day of this adventure. i have so far to go but ive already come such a far way. this morning i weighed 278 which is 2 pounds down from yesterday. and a total of 63lbs lost! id like to have lost 75lbs by thanksgiving but we'll see. everyone keep up the good work!

Those NSV'S are so powerful to help you truly realize the great strides you are making in your weight loss. I still get them and it really helps me to stay motivated, amazed at this process and to know that I really have made a difference in my future:)
It has been just over a year and even today...just today...a girl i see all the time at the gym saw me dressed in street clothes and has known me all my life...her mouth fell open and said,"OMG!!! You are so skinny!!!" ..it was funny.
Another one: I spoke to a guy I have known a really long time and he literally did not know who I was and I never introduced myself to him again today...he just kept smiling cause some pretty skinny girl said hey...it sure is funny and kinda kool:)
Good luck and enjoy!
