NSV - my first "success story"

piinchi

I must read every single one of these threads, and they're so inspirational.. and today I am posting my very first one! I've been on MFP for months, but mostly yo-yoing up and down. I'm finally down a solid 5 lbs (6, according my the doctor's scale, but I go with mine for consistency). Still, 5 never seemed like a lot to me, when i feel like I have so much more to do. But today I tried on a dress I had custom-fit for me when I was much lighter, and wonder of wonders - it FITS. And not barely, the zipper went up easily and there's even room in the waist. The way this fits makes me more confident that even though my weight isn't going down as fast as I want, I'm definitely tightening up and toning. And now, I can wear my summer dress again. That's it! Thanks for reading!!

YES!!! Definitely a great NSV! Sometimes the scale is just a horrible burden to bear...but being able to fit into a dress like you did, must have been an amazing feeling!! Great job!!!!
