My body has been big for as long as I can remember. I am scared to have less of this body that has done well by me over the years. I have never known myself as an adult to be under 300lbs. As I approach it I find myself trying to focus less on the scale, and more on other benefits to the changes happening. Yesterday (on my day off) I walked 3 miles without stopping. I didn't look at my step count or anything, I wasn't itching to be done. I think I may start a social media walking club- something where people can virtually join me on walks and see what I see, and they can share what they see.

Anyway- What NSV has you excited this week? Remember- it can be something as simple as you remembered to track your foods for a day, or something huge, like a promotion! Lets celebrate your wins today!

    It hasn't even been a full week yet but I have a couple of NSVs

    NSV #1: With MFP, I am drinking more water and not always going to the coffee pot or soda to hydrate.
    NSV#2: I started making time for exercise again which has also helped me in my "manage stress" goal.
    NSV#3: Finally, I have been exercising more frequently and actually logging my walking instead of the defeatist attitude "My body is accustomed to this and it won't help me".

    I met with a nutritionist today. Idk if my insurance will cover any other appointments but this first one was "complimentary".

    NSV- Had to buy new dresses.

    Im no longer limited to the plus size section. Im more flexible. Its interesting coming back to this side of things as the majority of people approach me differently. Mostly pleasant, sometimes questionable. Yes, my confidence has returned and I suppose that sparkle is back however im the same person.
