NSVs: The Good, The Bad, and The Frumpy...

33Freya

I’ve been experiencing various NSVs, though I still feel large, and have plateaued over the past 2 months.
These signs that I am indeed getting smaller and wonderful sometimes, and irritating other times!
1. I’m getting stronger. I ran 2 miles today (I ran a full mile for the first time this past summer), and I am up to 6 full pushups (on the toes) at once.
2. I can fit into all the jeans I could not even zip up a year ago.
3. A dress that I bought four years ago (again I could not zip it up last year) fits better now than when I bought it. (YAYY)
4.
On the flip side:
1. Most of my clothes kind of hang off me now- and I still have 30+ to lose before I want to go out and buy clothes or have my clothes tailored…
2. My freakin yoga pants kept falling down while I was trying to run the other day (picture a woman running down the street and tugging at her waistband every 10 seconds). I thought Yoga Pants were supposed to grow and shrink with you…
3. My SHOES are all too loose now! This one surprised me. I could not fit into my daughter’s boots a few months ago- but I am wearing them now (and they are damn cute!)

So I did get new work out pants, I’ll raid my daughter’s cute shoes until I hit goal or get closer, and I’ll utilize belts, skirts, and tights more until I get down to size. It may not be too flattering for now- even a little frumpy, but it’ll make a fine contrast once I reward myself with new a new wardrobe upon reaching my goal size.

I highly recommend checking out Value Village, Goodwill or some other used clothing store. You can inexpensively get a few key pieces that fit and look great now and you won't mind shrinking out of in a few months.

Awesome, inspiring victories!!

Thank you for sharing. I'd do a lot to have those NSV (and hopefully am doing a lot . . . I'm at least doing something!)

fold the band over so the elastic is on the outside.
And pull your top down over it.
It should help enough t o get you home

I may have to break down and do that. Great suggestion! :flowerforyou:
