an embarrasing NSV

crazymama2two

okay, so i knew but never said it out loud...

but i can now bend over and tie my sneakers without either holding my breath or putting my foot on my knee and tying it sideways - i know some of you can understand this. i was so embarrased about it. i wont even admit it to my DH.

but now putting on my gym sneakers i didnt have to do either!!!

now only if my double chin would find its way to a new home!!!

way to go! I know where your coming from on this one. I come up with stars in my eyes from doing shoe etc up unless put across my leg or up on the bed. I even have to pick my shoes very carefully, I love my heels but cant do anything with buckles etc.

i think we all can relate. my bf buckles my shoes when requested, so much easier and i don't feel lightheaded from holding my breath!

LOL! It's an awesome feeling, isn't it? I mean, up until it was possible to do without pain, there are all sorts of rationalizations about why-it-isn't-what-it-appears-to-be, and then, all of a sudden, because of the diet/exercise, it's gone! what an awesome NSV moment!

Don't be embarrassed!! That's fabulous! Feels good doesn't it?

I reached this mile stone too and never thought anything about it until I could do it!! Made me delighted as well so I totally get the rejoicing! Difference is, I told my hubby!! I call them.."Fat girl getting Skinny" stories, he is amused! and rejoices with me!!

Oh I SO know that feeling. I also know the feeling of a less-than-supportive partner say "I thought you were supposed to be fit" when things like getting dressed made me breathless! Congratulations!

Way to go!! Was there myself not to long ago Its a good feeling and it is all of those little things that will keep you going when you feel like you can not do it anymore.

Went through the same thing. Good for you for putting it out there! I can cross my legs now too!

Congratulations! I zipped up the back of a fitted dress the other day (I've become a little more flexible through yoga) and was completely thrilled with myself...and it's not a victory that's easy to share, either.

crazymama2two

i love each and every one of you!! THANKS!!!

That is a great NSV and one I just became able to do, too. (I didn't tell my partner either, but I told the dog)

I got home from a walk and bent over to untie my muddy shoes and...voila! Shoes off, no puffing and no feeling like my stomach was going to crush my lungs!

Congratulations and big squeezy hugs!!!!!
