The little things (NSV)

Jan 19, 2015

I have been losing slower than I want and it has really gotten to me. I spent the first few weeks or so with the "what have I done to myself" regrets! I am 8 weeks out now. Recently my outlook has started to change. It is so frustrating to see the scale stuck, or even worse, moving up...but inevitably, it does slowly start to move again in the right direction. I recently looked at myself in my winter coat and felt like I was wearing a garbage bag. It's probably not that obvious to anyone else but it was slightly annoying me. I decided to try the thrift store on a whim, just to see. I didn't even know what size to try. Well, guess what...I found a coat, and I LOVE it! It is 2 sizes smaller than my current coat! I look so much smaller in it! I honestly didn't even know how this would feeeeeeel! My first item of clothing since my surgery and it really did feel AMAZING! As I walked out of the store I felt like I was just smiling on the inside!!! I didn't think I would care this much...but it really felt good. I can't afford to buy lots of clothes, and I have never bought anything for myself at a thrift store before this. I have seen a lot of people on the site saying thats how they clothed themselves while they were losing. I might have no choice. Today was a good experience though so I may end up there more than I thought. There are a couple of other NSVs that have happened so far. Just little things, like crossing my legs more comfortably, noticing my collar bones, being the lowest weight I have been my entire adult life, having a relative I havent seen in awhile tell me I look great, and my boyfriend told me he felt like he was cheating on me, with me! These are little NSVs but they are fun. The new coat seemed to be the one that I got most excited about though, who'd of thunk it!
