My first big NSV!

So I was window shopping the other day and decided to try on this cute little black dress. I grabbed my usual size (18) and went to the dressing room. The woman working was very sweet and helpful and as I stepped out, we realized the dress was just a little too big for me. Not such a big deal as my size has sometimes fluctuated down to a 16 depending on how it's cut. But the saleswoman brought back a size 16 and a size 14. She thought that I could fit into the 14. I told her I would try but was mentally rolling my eyes. No way that would happen! But you know what? It fit! And it looked so great that I had to do a jig in the dressing room. I decided that even though I didn't need a new dress at that moment, I would buy it and keep it as motivation and inspiration. I haven't been a size 14 since I was in college!

Congrats!! Isn't that just an AWESOME feeling?!?!?!
I've been there before as well. Sometimes it's "mentally" different to wrap our thoughts around "sizes". I had been a size 14/16 for DECADES so it just makes my head spin that I actually fit into clothes in which the size is now a single digit.
Way to go and keep up the great work!!0 -
That's awesome! Your hard work and commitment are paying off!0

Woohoo, great job! Keep it up!0

Wow. That is great. So fun when you fit into a smaller size unexpectedly. Don't make the same mistake as me though. I bought a lot of clothes when I moved from 16/18 to 12/14. However, within a few months, those were too big! After 15-18 months of hard work, I made it all the way down to around an 8 which is my maintenance size. Depending on cut - could be 6 or 10. I once tried on a size 4 pair of shorts by accident. They fit! Didn't need them, but they were a 4! I bought them. They were on sale! Keep losing and enjoying your NSV's0

Woo Hoo! I started at a 24 and just recently started wearing size 16 jeans. I haven't worn a 24 since high school and I plan on dancing in the dressing room when it happens!

I bought a UK 10 skirt at the weekend. I have never been a 10 in my adult life, an am not really now, but that skirt looks good and having a wearable 10 feels great.0 -

WOOHOO! That is great - what an accomplishment. I started in a 1X-2X, and have been consistently wearing a L as of late. Today I fit into a medium!!!! I was so excited, I bought 3 sweaters. Keep it up!0

I'm going to add onto this because I've had more since this event. My jeans were getting worn out (at my largest I was a size 22 but have been a size 18 for awhile) so I went to buy some more. I'm now a size 15/16 in a store that tends to run kind of small! On top of that, my jeans size usually ran with the narrowest part of me since I wore my jeans a bit higher. But the new 15/16 pair sit at the widest part of me! Woohoo!
Also, my hubby told me that he can definitely see more definition and tone in my butt. Every girl's dream!0 -
Awesome! BEST feeling! Keep the NSVs rollin'...0

Way to go! I love those moments!0

Exactly how I felt in my new skinny jeans. Skinny jeans, me?!?! Never thought that day would come!0 -
That is so great! Trying on clothes in the dressing room is a great way to discover true loss. Good for you.0
