    Default A NSV that shocked me

    So I was messing around with my phone today, looking through my pictures, and saw a video my husband had taken of me working with a group of children during an activity a few weeks back that I hadn't yet watched. As the video is panning the room, I see this woman standing next to the table and for a brief moment I wondered who she was. It was me! For the first time in my life, I didn't recognize myself on the screen because I looked SLIMMER than I did in my mind!! Usually I am not recognizing myself in a photo because of how much fatter I am than I thought. It's SO nice to be on the other end of that spectrum! Happy Wednesday! (Note to the newbies: NSV stands for [I]non-scale victory [/I)

    That's the best NSV. I am glad you're doing so well. I want you to know the letter you wrote to "food" about divorcing it; is still something I think about all the time. My friend is on track to get the sleeve in January and I just recently sent it to her.
