    Default Non scale victories

    I have had a non scale victory that I never knew I could have. It use to upset my that cutting my toe nails was a struggle and left me out of breath.

    Well yesterday after cutting my nails I realized there was no struggle I pulled my leg and foot up onto the bed.

    Just wanted to share most of my feelings about how I am doing on the journey are negative so this one made my day.

    Love this!
    NSV are sometimes way more exciting and important than seeing the number on the scale go down. :-)

    Lol...I get the NSV. Go research my posts and find the one concerning me zip lining down Fremont Street, Las Vegas, in a speedo and the Elvis impersonator. Epic NSV. Use search word “speedo”. Not a word typed very often on this board.

    That was an epic day.

    I love that I can wear skirts without having shorts underneath. Before surgery I would have some serious chaffing/chubrub/sweating if I did not wear shorts underneath. Now it is a non issue. Who knew??

    It makes me sad to hear you say "most of my feelings about how I am doing on the journey are negative." What's going on? I can tell you my excitement about losing weight and getting healthy, all the fun I had doing it, and my positive attitude the whole ride were my secrets to success for losing all my weight.

    I am still thrilled to death to be a regular sized person after five years. The only downside is shopping, I'm spending too much money on cute clothes.

    I am so looking forward to the downside of spending too much on cute clothes in stores that do not carry plus sizes.

    I went for my second clothes shopping since surgery yesterday since we are having family holiday pictures this weekend and stuff has been getting baggy again. I was in the big and tall section at Dillard's and tried on shirts and went down a size to xlt(I'm still tall). I was happy about that and then went to get pants. I start getting frustrated because the only pants in my waist size have 36 inch legs and I'm like wtf they have tons in the next size up with my leg length. It then dawns on me. Hey dummy your not big and tall in pants anymore. So as I write this I'm in my first pair of regular size not corner of the store sized pants I've ever bought in my entire life.
