NSV: When the Wife Notices.

I went to grab something from the "other" side of Wal-Mart yesterday, and when I came back my wife was just kind of looking at me with a funny smile. I was like, "What?"...

She says, "Just seeing you walking from that far away, I realized how much skinnier you've really gotten."

Made my month.

    Great job! It is even better when the people who see us everyday notice. Feels good!

    Nothing better than when the spouse smiles and tells you you're looking great. Nice NSV!!

    I am so glad you asked what an NSV was! I was wondering myself. :D

    I didn't tell my husband that I was starting MFP or trying to lose weight. I started in January and finally asked him at the end of March, if he noticed. I'd lost 18 lbs and he hadn't said a word! He said he noticed but didn't know how much. When I told him, he couldn't believe it! He then started bragging to everyone about me and asking them if they noticed and talking about how "thin" his wife is. It's pretty funny to me since he didn't notice but is now surprised that other people aren't noticing!

    When I smile at my husband like that from far away, it's because I am noticing how large his feet are compared to his build.

    That's awesome! It can take a while for the people who see us all the time to notice the differences. :)

    Good job! For some reason, your story put a smile on my face even though I am not married! I think I just felt the same joy you did. C: Again, good work and keep on trucking!

    When my wife notices how much I've lost she usually says "God I hate you".

    True story ...
