ok, bare with me because it may not seem like a big deal, but this is huge to me! My bath towel fits all the way around me now!!! Anybody know what I am talking about? I use to have a big gap of flesh hanging out. Now the towel meets all the way around! YAY!!!! call me crazy, I can take it!

    It's funny. After my shower this morning, I wrapped myself in the towel and thought about how good it will feel when I can wrap the towel all the way around without anything showing! A great victory indeed! I'm almost there too... another couple of inches!

    Haha, I totally know what you are talking about!! My family takes a vacation to the same beach club every year and they have these ridiculously tiny freebie beach towels at the pool. One of my NS goals is to have that towel fit around me this July!

    Congrats!!!

    A few years ago I found some huge towels at Kohls labelled bath "sheets". Those worked well and I'm still using them because they're nice towels, but I recently realized that the smaller ones I've been using for my hair since buying those sets of towels actually fit around me! Granted, they're probably just the regular size bath towels, but it feels good to say my hair towel fits around me :D

    Congrats! I was telling people when this (recently) happened to me too! Things like that motivate me more than the scale. I stood in the bathroom mirror and just looked at it for like 10 minutes!

    Yes I do know and understand what you mean. It's a wonderful feeling for something a lot of people don't even think about. Congrats.

    at home I had the big 72" towels to wrap around but in hotels the Bath towels there being ONLY 48inches wouldnt even reach around me to say nothing of the gap I remember watching movies or TV where they came out of the shower and wrapped and tucked it in and it fit and really wanting to do that
    Now I can wrap it around tuck it in it stays up and covers all of me I can wrap it and walk out on the hotel balcony and stand there and I do because I can Yes its great

    That is a definite guage for me - if the towels at the gym wrap all the way around, I'm happy. If not, I need to step it up --- and I'm em-bare-assed walking to my locker. LOL
  • i totally know what ur talking about, i am not there yet but i celebrate with u!

    Yes! I remember when that was me. It does feel really really good to wrap up in a towel and it closes. I was so happy when that happened. Great job and thanks for sharing your NSV!

    OMG. That is the best feeling! I remember going to the gym and the towels there are sooo small and I couldn't get them around me. The day I got one around me was the best day! It's feels so good! CONGRATS!
