Halfway+ there and a great NSV

pacsqueen

5 months ago, I started my journey to lose 100 pounds. I am now over halfway to my weight goal but more importantly, I've made important changes to my life and learned tons about myself in the process. I like to think of it as "Gastric Bypass and Surgery" but not in the conventional sense. In my case, I simply "bypass" putting crappy food into my gastric system and I have "surgically" removed the couch from my backside. I never thought I would say this but healthy food and exercise are now a normal part of my life.

Yesterday I had a pretty cool NSV. For the first time in over TWENTY FOUR years, I shopped in the normal section of the clothing store instead of the Plus Size section.

Thank you MFP!!!!!!!!!! You ROCK!!! )

Feels sooooooo good. Good on you learning new good habits for life.

It's so refreshing to hear people talk about changing they way they eat forever and enjoying regular exercise rather than endless diets.

Hurrah!

Congrats! That is an awesome NSV! It gives you more clothing options, but also costs money for new clothes. I just had to buy a new winter coat because I shrunk out of mine. No complaints, though. A good NSV.
