NSV - I think I see the end of that tire...

When you're naked, everything shows. :sad: I used to avoid mirrors at all costs, because I didn't like what I saw. I avoided mirrors clothed - naked was totally out of the question.
Well, I still don't like everything I see. But I make sure every day to take a look at my birthday suit so that I can gauge the changes. And here's what I noticed today:
You know that bottom belly tire that always gets in the way? Well, I still have it. Two belly tires and one back tire, to be specific. They are ugly and stretch-marked and I get to feel their presence all the time.
But that bottom tire? I THINK I SEE THE END OF IT. It's no longer protruding quite as far. There is no abyss from the fold, where little gnomes go to hang out on their lunch break. I think my rolls are actually going to the wayside.
That may seem trivial to some of you, but really - it's an awesome feeling. So excited for the little things! :happy: :drinker:

YAY for losing tires! I just found out today from another thread that the weight of a avg tire is about 20 lbs, so in your journey you will lose a couple figuratively and metaphorically

That is sooo exciting and I can not wait for that view on myself. Great job and keep up all the hard work!0

Your post was so funny because I look at EXACTLY the same things on my own body, and I'm around the same weight loss as you are, so I've been noticing the same thing. I've been telling my husband, "Look, my spare tire is getting smaller!" Hee hee. I love reading people's stories on this site. Thanks for sharing.0

that's great! Keep going! I'm so glad to hear someone visually looking for differences instead of weighing every day, not that you said you didn't weigh yourself but you are gauging your success based on something else and I think that's great!0
-
Awesome! Can't wait to see that for myself 0
-
Excited and happy for you! I see my tire shrinking to! :happy:0
-
Congratulations to you! I experienced the same thing about a month ago. My "top tire" is all but deflated....LOL....corny, I know....but I was just as excited as you!! Congratulations again...kepp up the good work!0

That is great. I think it is an awesome idea to look at yourself every day in the mirror in your B-day suit. It is the first step in feeling better in your own skin.:drinker:0

Good work! I giggled about the gnomes :laugh:0

Mine left Saturday. Ive been wearing pants hanging off the edges of my hipbones and shorts that barely come down to the bottom of my ribs ever since. My midriff is my new accessory. Im having a difficult time covering it up for work.0

TOTALLY GET THIS!!!! I have been doing the same thing every so often in the morning...or even when I get home form work and get changed. I never minded seeing myself in the mirror, except for when i was naked. then I got to where I didnt like what I saw and didnt like my picture taken. NOW, I am getting better and looking again!! SUCH a great thing when you actually SEE the results!!!
Only downfall...my "upper ladies" look like they are shrinking too!!!0 -
That is fantastic! I am looking forward to this as well!0
-
Well I for one, completely understand!! Awesome NSV, Congrats!0
-
I love hearing about NSV's!
They help keep me inspired.
Good for you!0 -
That's great!
I can't seem to shrink mine. If I could, I think my confidence in the weight loss would be a lot higher. But that's the one area I can't seem to diminish.0 -
I get it. Good for you!
My wife always says she has a b00by-do... you know, when your belly sticks out farther than your B00by do?
Well, years ago she jokingly observed that I now had a d!nky-do. Nice. You get the idea...
My d!nky-do is gone. Woot!0 -

OMG now I have a roomful of people staring at me because you made me laugh. Thanks for that.0 -
YES!!!!
Well done keep it doing what your doing!0 -
That is great! I measured around my "tire" and will be so happy to see the measurements get smaller.0
-
I laughed so hard at your post, mainly because it sounds like me! However, my upper tire is what I'm most concerned with right now! It's shrinking but I can't wait for the day that it stops looking like I'm walking around with an inner tube around my waist instead of just your average muffin top!0

But as we age women have to look out for the dreaded furniture disease; that's where your chest falls in your drawers!! :laugh:
OP: Congrats on a great NSV! :flowerforyou:0 -
THIS is what I would see, BUT when I finally took a picture of myself without a shirt on I was so DISGUSTED, I got off my Butt and started to work to get it off.0 -
Lol loved it!!! I have the same except my top."tire" is an extra "wide" tire LOL but can't wait till its gone!!!0

This is awesome haha, thanks for sharing!0 -
Thanks for the belly shakes.. loved your post! Congrats on your loss and for taking on that damn mirror!!0

That is so awesome!! Looking in the mirror is definitely the best way to gauge changes. The other day I noticed that my belly is FLAT. I always used to have this weird line on my lower belly and a pouch of fat hanging around right above the line. I looked the other day, no line, no fat hanging out. I was so pumped. I lifted my shirt and RAN to my boyfriend to show him. haha
Congrats! You are doing great!0 -
Tha'ts hugE! I'm jealous. I can't wait until mine goes.0

thats great :happy:0
