Best NSV Ever

Since I'm going back to school in a few weeks, I've been doing last minute shopping (meaning bras and shoes). I told myself that I knew what I wanted but was going to look for the cheapest things. 3 days ago I found the heels I've been looking for for months, and they were $90 (a lot for a broke college student haha). But you know what? I bought them. And yesterday when I bought new bras, the total came to $96. But rather than feel guilty that I was spending so much money on myself, I was happy. Because for the first time in my life, I realized I was worth spending money on myself! I've only lost 17 pounds so far but it's done so much for my self esteem that I realize now I'm worth it, and I deserve to be happy and to have nice things. To me, that's the best NSV you could have- finally learning to be happy in your own body :)

    Congratulations, my friends and I always say we are L'OREAL BABY (worth it) to boost each other when we are feeling down. Don't feel guilty at all, how good you feel in the new clothes will be worth every penny because I bet you are walking with confidence and it shines from within.

    The best thing you can gain by losing is your self esteem ;-)
