Good job girls on bending and moving furniture…

I "want" to play the piano. I generally just move it around and dust it. Think of painting it every now and then. Perhaps when life slows down I will learn to play. (

Today I was tracking my food and I realized that I've been eating about 500 calories per meal, for some time now and I really am satisfied. To me, this is a victory because in the past, I could easily eat that many calories, or more, per item, in a meal.6

Amazing realization @Goodgollygee.2

My fabfitfun box came yesterday and with it, the 'extras' I had ordered (which I dont normally do). One of them was a light jacket (like a windbreaker type) which was available in 2 sizes a L/XL and a S/M. I knew without a doubt the L/XL would fit. The S/M was a lot bigger gamble. I can *usually* wear a medium, but the only time I can wear a small is if its vanity sized and not a small at all. So I hold off on it while I debate and by the time I go back a day or so later (having decided to err on the side of caution and get the larger size) it was, of course, sold out, and they only have the smaller size. I really do want it and decide that it will eventually fit (probably) or it will make a nice gift for someone (eventually) so go ahead and get it.
not only does it fit... there's room to spare all zipped up! Now, it IS a jacket, so its cut a bit looser than you know, a shirt would be, but even with a sweatshirt on under it, it will STILL fit properly!
So.. There's my bit of happy for the day. I will take it where I can get it. LOL3 -

Yay, that's an awesome NSV! It's such a nice feeling when you expect to have to buy a larger size and end up with the smaller size. So pleased for you!5 -
My daughter cleaned out a closet and put a bunch of clothes from years ago when she was in college in a box….when she went to work I dug through the box and found a REAL leather jacket ( I had bought for her! ) and 2 pair of designer jeans….well, I tried them on and they almost fit, just a little snug….I took them and put them in MY closet lol….4

What a find, Connie! Congrats!!3

I don't know whether it's because I'm managing good med compliance or the weight loss or what, but so far despite everything every night the kitchen is cleaned up. If I can manage this about another week or two, I'll be able to use my autism for good; once something is a certain way for a while, my brain will decide that That Is The Right Way To Be, and I will be uncomfortable and anxious until I put it back right.
Also I suddenly have a lot of loose flesh on my thighs. I put my legs up when doing yoga and it all slides down and puddles at my hips. Interesting!5 -
After walking six days a week for a while I started a couch to 5k program 4 weeks ago. Today I jogged for 12 minutes straight! My breathing was deep and even, my legs didn't feel weird, tight or heavy. I felt like I could just keep going forever. It was amazing.7

@NatashaLP2014 awesome feedback on C25K! Keep us posted on your progress, I have forever been intrigued with couple half hearted tries.

thats awesome!!!!!!!!3 -
I was in the local grocery store with three people behind me in the queue and I dropped my credit card and two pound coins. I'd picked them up, paid and left the shop before the enormity of what I'd just achieved hit me.
I'm the person (like David in Schitt's Creek) who always double knots my laces (in my case because I'm phobic about needing to bend over and tie my laces in public).
So to bend over effortlessly (and unconsciously) to pick up a credit card, with people watching me and tutting with impatience is awesome, if I do say so myself.6 -
You just bend over and shake that skinny booty while you still have it to shake, Bella!3

@lauriekallis, you misunderstood the nature of my NSV! I don't give a monkey's who eyes up my booty, my phobia of bending is just because I CAN'T BEND! My big belly and boobs, combined with a stiff spine and tight hamstrings, make picking things off the floor a nightmare, especially flat things like credit cards or pieces of paper. Picking things up usually entails kneeling, then struggling to get back onto my feet like an overturned beetle. For years I've dreaded dropping anything in public because of the indignity of having to struggle to do something that for many people is easy and effortless.
So to bend over and pick up a credit card and two coins - without even being conscious I was doing it - is a huge NSV for me.4 -
Sorry, Bella - I wasn't clear. I absolutely understood the nature of your NSV. But thought that now that you can, you should...and then just got silly. 2
-
@Bella_Figura: I have the belly and boobs issue myself, but my hamstrings aren't so tight due to doing a LOT of stretching and yoga. If I don't, my back hurts and I get plantar fasciitis in both feet.
It's NICE to just be able to bend over. Someday I hope to do it without being suffocated by boobage. (I have a first appointment to discuss reduction with a plastic surgeon in October.)3 -

🤣🤣 You’re right though - I should shake my booty while I still have one!

I grabbed a pair of khaki shorts out of the drawer and didn't realize it was in the "smaller" pile. Excited that they fit and are comfortable!4

I was able to remain seated, bend over, and reach the piece of paper on the floor - without having to lift my butt from my seat! This is huge for me, haven't been able to do that in forever because my belly got in the way lol. It sounds super silly, but it was for sure a "YAY" moment for me!
Not silly! That's great!!5 -
Thought it might be time to resurrect this. My NSV is that last years winter clothes still fit despite not losing any more weight over the year. I’ve managed to maintain my loss!4

Way to go, Yoolypr.2

That's no small victory @Yoolypr! Maintenance is MUCH harder than weight loss, so kudos to you.2

I agree three ❣️1

Thanks. Got my photo to work on MFP again. That’s a victory in my book!3
