Simple things please simple minds

I've just had the simplest of NSV's. I came back from a run, showered and was getting dressed again when I realised how easily I can now put on my socks. At over 300lbs it used to be so hard to get down there and I would have to have a rest to catch my breath between socks. I came down stairs and told the wife. Now she can't stop laughing but I feel great.:happy: :happy: :happy:

    Grats man.

    No NSV is too small imo. :bigsmile:

    Nice. It's those small NSVs that help keep you going - even if you don't necessarily see the change on the scale.
  • totally agree! it's the little things that matter and keep us going, then they add up to one big success
    congrats and good luck with the rest of your journey!

    I remember that. I remember the moment I realized I could put socks on while still standing, just by lifting one leg at a time and slipping them on. Could never do that when I was heavier.

    Moments like that are better than scale numbers.

    Gee, changing your underwear must REALLY make you giddy! :laugh:

    I tease....actually, I can relate. That kind of NSV is awesomeness!!
  • Just wait til the first time you put them on while standing up and not leaning on anything! :) That made my day last week! :) Congrats! Keep at it!

    Lol, I'd probably have a chuckle myself, but some people don't realize how important something like that is for someone else! That's a great NSV!! Keep it up.

    hell yeah! some of my NSVs have been freaking hilarious and others just odd!

    faves:

    seeing floor instead of boobs when I look down
    wearing a little bitty teeny weeny black dress on the red carpet
    causing a fender bender
    big girl place

    That is very cool! I had a similar moment about 2 months after I quit smoking. I walked up the steps to our break room at work and realized I wasn't out of breath.

    I remember when I was able to tie my shoes and not have to hold my breath to reach them! Congratualtions!!! Feels great doesn't it?

    My odd ones were:
    seeing floor instead of boobs when I look down
    boobs no longer resting on the shelf-tummy
    Tieing shoes without having to hold my breath
    Touching, palms flat on the floor on each side of my feet (not in front of them), fingers pointing back, legs together, and knees straight. (My goal is to touch my nose to my knees like I could in high school... guys really like that trick LOL)
