NSV = Non-Scale Victory

Things that let you know your hard work is paying off, even when the scale isn't.

Top 10 Examples:

1. Surprisingly brave squirrels you once used to pet have stopped mistaking you for the "Friend of the Forest" - Bigfoot.
2. You have been invited to participate in human mating behavior.
3. You're thinking of going to Vegas because you're getting lucky.
4. Your mother asks if you are eating enough
5. You only need one plane ticket
6. Pharmaceutical companies have stopped making weekly sales calls.
7. You've stopped worrying about the "max weight" signs in elevators.
8. You bought a new shirt for the first time in six years.
9. The shirt you bought is not a slimming black, it's very dark grey.
10. That person at work you've had a crush on for three years introduced themselves today and said, "you're gonna love working here."

More examples welcome.

    Your kid stops referring to you as her own tempurpedic mattress on home movie nights.
    Not only can you see your toes , you can touch them too.
    The sound of your inner thighs clapping is no longer your only applause.
    You can take a vacation with all the money you save on baby powder.

    Wall-E,

    Technically you are correct, that is an NSV moment. But we're really going for more hilarious things in this post. I tried to find a way to make crossing the monkey bars funny. I couldn't do it.

    You don't get looked at in shock by your clients who then exclaim "You are pregnant again!"..... Nope, just fat. I haven't heard that in at least a month!
