My jeans are getting too loose!! My mom noticed the other day too, which feels good Feelin great!

I tried a pair of ridiculously small looking stretchy jeans on, expecting them to lodge above my knees and go no further. Instead, they slid right up and fastened comfortably—so much so that I wore them all day.

I had thought I was just about ready to go down one size. Turns out I’ve already dropped that size and am getting close to another. Another month and it won’t be the stretchy jeans. Another 2.5 months or thereabouts and I’ll be in single digit clothing again. That’s a good non scale victory to me

I have a clothing NSV today too.

I thought I would wear my old favourite dress today and put it in only to find it was baggy through the hip area (and it's not a style that really looks good like that), so I was a bit sad to not be able to wear it....but then I remembered a cute dress I got last year that I couldn't quite fit into, and tried that on instead. And it fit!! 😃

Just realized this is actually an NSV. I'm under a MASSIVE amount of stress at work and have been for over a month. It's gone from almost dealable to moderately sucky to "I want to quit as of yesterday, just let this pain end." And back and forth, randomly. I might have a terrible morning then a great afternoon or a really bad day or a really bad week followed by a good day - I never know ahead of time. It's given me stress induced asthma and made me question my own basic competence as a human being on multiple occasions. It's been bad.

Anyway, my NSV is that the bingiest I ever got was not logging for a few days and going over my total calories a little - enough that I never actually gained any significant weight. An even bigger victory is that instead of wanting to go buy a family sized bag of chips or bake a whole cake and eat it or something, I have been wanting lots of soothing tea. And maybe a little sugar, but not a whole lot. That is a huge difference from the way I was before.

I don't know how much different it would have been if I had been able to go out of the house and stop by my favorite snack source on the way home form work, but hey, I'll take it! I've even used exercise as stress management and that too is a big thing.

I had a pizza yesterday and didn't beat myself up for it. Just logged it and moved on!

I walked a full loop walk with my dogs and partner. I haven't gone with them that far in months

When my lovely online yoga teacher asked me to hug my knees into my chest...I was ABLE TO, without huge discomfort for the first time in years!

I realized last night that my behavior on those days I don't want to 'deal with' food and don't care at all, I no longer default to take out or fast food. My default 'whatevers' are now yogurt, cottage cheese, or oatmeal. Still fast and easy but much easier options.

(Still eat the other things, just when I WANT them instead of when I don't actually want anything)

So all my friends now I lack of sleep and this is one of the main issue I have
Since two days i try to make poems to and about GARLIC ,and for two days it was working so fine I thought I was Einstein, discovering a big thing for Humanity! lol

And then my almost enemy SLEEP said he will not be impressed by a piece of garlic - lol
So again I slept ,but just one break this time. For example 2230-1:00 and then 2:40-05:30 today

Those who said that Cleopatra from Egypt was sleeping with garlic under the pillow in order to have a good sleep I don't know if they had fantasies,
but eating garlic before bed (2 pieces only) and arrive to just one break, that is my NSV for this week!

P.S the smell and taste is making mild by me by putting in the morning the piece of garlic in the water, like this it loses till evening the smell and strong taste
This is for the bad guys having any objections to my friend ,the GARLIC!

This is a strange NSV, but bare with me. I have now lost the same amount as my toddler currently weighs. For someone who struggles to see a difference in the mirror, it’s a really crazy visual reference. Like, whoaaaaa... I’ve lost that much?

Also hit my 200th day of logging today which is nothing compared to some of you, but pretty cool for me.

my NSV:
the belts are too big on me, even at the lowest/last hole setting.
I might have to create new holes if I don't want to spend money on new belts. Made me feel very proud of myself. I went from hole 1 down to the 5th+ hole.

I can't believe how much my body is changing!

It's aggravating but not at the same time (sorry if I don't make sense). Love that I'm losing weight and losing inches off my body, but it's also annoying that my closet is not prepared for the weight loss and I'm starting to NOT have enough clothes to wear, that is appropriate to be seen in public (lots of baggy shorts, pants, and shirts). I'm also in that weird middle stage of losing weight, where I don't exactly need an entirely new wardrobe, but the current clothes I have aren't looking soo cute anymore on me. LOL...

In any case... WHOO HOOOO to me ... I love what I'm experiencing on this health journey. I don't "see" the difference on my body physically, since I see myself every day, but I can feel the difference in my energy level and when I wear certain clothes/accessories, the differences are then clearly seen/felt.

amazing job! your hard work is paying off. I would suggest facebook marketplace or ebay for some "new to you" clothes that aren't too expensive until you get to your goal weight. I have good luck on ebay buying brands that I am familiar with for very little $. a whole new wardrobe seems in the near future! kudos!!

@Sand_TIger this NSV is what it's all about. How to live healthy and strong even when the world around us seems to be conspiring against that idea! Well done! I'm in a similar spot and under huge stress but following your lead

I have 2 NSV this week. I noticed I can see my collar bones and I also felt the pads of fat on my hips had shrunk a lot and saw that my thighs look a lot slimmer. When I weighed myself this morning the scales lied and said that I had put on a pound so, I measured my body and found to my delight that I have lost 2 inches off my hips since I last measured myself on January 1st. To celebrate I went for a walk in my local park and enjoyed the sun on my face! I haven't done any unhealthy comfort eating to console myself that I haven't reached my mini goal of 12st 13lbs this week, whoop whoop, WTG!!

Sand_Tiger, you are handling things brilliantly as usual, not only is it a NSV but it is also No Small Victory. Keep doing what you are doing and inspiring others my friend. I'm proud of your determination and guts not to quit!
