My first *real* NSV!

MereMe

Sooo today is THE DAY! I am finally giving myself credit for a NSV!

Little history - I have a 4 month old who I only gained 3 pounds with of pregnancy weight. I lost 15 after delivery and I don't count that as "loss" since it was kind of a "freebie" and I didn't work for it. In the past 2 1/2 months, I have lost an additional 21+ pounds and in the past two weeks, tons of people have complimented me and said they can really tell I am losing weight. Yada yada... the reflection in the mirror still looks the same as pre-pregnancy, so I haven't been counting those as NSVs. I also haven't counted how huge my pants are, that my rings are loose, or that I really am down a whole Tshirt size. So, yeah, I have been cheating myself out of a back pat.

BUT NOT TODAY, folks! Today I decided to try on a shirt I bought SEVEN years ago while pregnant with my first (of 3) child. It never really "fit" and the arms were always too snug to go out in public in (IMO). And so - I pulled it on without any stuggle (yes, I totally got stuck in in at the beginning of this pregnancy) and to my absolute AMAZEMENT - there is "room" in the sleeves and EVERYWHERE! Wow... really - W O W! Just 75 or so days into my new way of living (I am NOT dieting ever again!) and I am just a pound or so from my pre-marriage and pre-pregnancy weight. A-mazing! That's what that is!

-Just wanted to share with y'all because I know somewhere out there, there's someone else who just isn't giving themselves credit where it is DUE! If YOU are that person, forget that mirror (I think it lies anyway) and pat yourself on the back!!!

Congratulations! It sounds like you've had a lot of little NSVs, but fitting into clothes that were once too small is a great one! Keep it up!

I think this is an absolutely fabulous NSV! It's amazing how our bodies change without even realizing it. Just wait until you're stirring yourself awake in bed in the morning and your run your hands over your midriff, legs or arms, and you don't recognize the person that you're touching is you! You're doing great...you're dedicated....and YOU CAN DO THIS! Please share your NSV with the other ladies on our Rock That Dress forum. It's stories like yours that motivate other people to get up and get going. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!

OH WOW! Congrats that is a great NSV. I love putting on clothes that are too big that I use to have a breathing problem in. LMAO! You should be super proud of yourself that your arm have moving room and you can "go out in public" in that shirt.
