Big NCVs - photo!

(lol I meant 'Big NSV's' ... leave it to me to type an abbreviation wrong.)
Sorry guys, I still haven't mastered photos ... but I changed my profile photo to my progess!
So a week or so, I've been really discouraged. I hadn't lost anything, even after working my butt off at the gym and staying under my goals. Suddenly that 75 lbs left seemed really scary.
But, instead of getting back on the scale, I went to my favorite jeans store. I was so nervous, because I was so sure I was just going to be even more discouraged. If I was still have to squeeze my way into a size 18, I didn't know what I was going to do.
But low and behold ... forget the 18! Infact, forget the 16. I am now a comfy size 14. No dance required to get them on. I litterally almost cried in the dressing room.
So, I bought my size 14 dark jeans and am thrilled. I was so happy, I went home and got out my "thinner" clothes I had hidden in the back of my wardrobe, hoping I'd fit into them again one day. And guess what? They fit.
Infact, some are too baggy! Holy shiz!
Moral of the story: *kitten* THE SCALE GUYS. Sure it's a good tool to track progress once and awhile, but don't base all of your accomplishments on it! Make sure you're tracking inches and paying attention to your clothes. They don't lie!
