I have recently dragged out some jeans from the back of the closet.... so I have had my own NSV lately too! And many others which is COOL

NSV: I hesitated to put my seatbelt on on the airplane for fear that it will not fit around my bulk, but when I did, it was too loose and I had to adjust it! That's NSV. NON-SCALE VICTORY!

nice one Alpha!

i think that's what makes NSVs so nice. they're everywhere, they can pop up when you least expect it, not just at 7am when youre naked in your bathroom standing before the altar of doom.

i really love the tremulous moment before you try, when youre thinking 'i really hope this works'. makes the actual victory even better by comparison.
