    I donated 12 pairs of pants to a thrift store last month, thinking I was getting rid of all my "too-big-to-wear" pants. Now I realized that pants that I thought fit me well are too big also. I have not lost that many pounds in the last 2 months, but my body apparently has changed.

    I just realized this...it wasn't that long ago that I was thinking how overwhelming it felt to need to lose 75 pounds. Today I caught myself thinking "only 40 pounds to go."

    I just got freed of my wrist splint. It's not really a NSV, but it's great anyway. :D

    Went to the grocery store today and didn't even think about the old stuff I would have bought 6 months ago. The cashier, a woman I've seen there for two years but haven't had more than brief conversations with, commented on my selections, weight loss, etc, and asked for advice on how to lose weight. Feels so good to want to eat clean and not think twice about picking up old habits.

    Went to the bar with friends and just drank water.
    Until now I would never go to a bar unless I had saved up enough calories for a 'real' drink.

    I am currently on a diet break so I can eat whatever I want. I went to the grocery store the other day and stopped in front of the potato chip display. I could have bags of potato chips right now if I wanted so I started browsing through the selection to see what might appeal to me. And ... after spending 5 or 10 minutes standing there looking at it all ... I kept walking. None of it appealed to me.

    I went round the corner and selected some cans of kidney beans, lentils, and diced tomatoes for a slow cooker meal I wanted to prepare instead. :)

    That's pretty funny. Free to eat whatever and still making good choices. I head to the chip aisle because the nuts are there and stroll by the chips with no problem. Love it. Really hoping a year from now I can say the same thing!

    Wow. You guys all inspire me. Well done to each and every one of you!

    I'm proud to have been living the 5:2 lifestyle for 30 months without skipping a single fast day!

    Killed it at the gym today. Did so many machines and the stationary bike. Felt so strong. It's been a while since I went to the gym so was proud i did more than just the bike.

    I went rock climbing!! The clip and climb version in a gym but still!! I pulled my 180lb body 50 ft in the air and loved it! My legs were jello at the top, I shook like a leaf, my hands and arms hurt and I got a steel burn but it was totally worth it. This never would have happened even 9 months ago. I tried things, never said can't unless my body collapsed, didn't care when a random guy laughed when I dropped (screw you though), and didn't care that the tight harness showed every bulge. I was giddy with adrenaline and I'm PROUD of myself!! Onwards and upwards!

    P.s. the kicker for me? When I was in 8th grade my class went rock climbing. I was terrible and felt humiliated because I couldn't do it. It was always kind of hanging over my head as a failure. No more :)

    Totally inspiring!!!! Great job conquering that demon!!

    While on the elliptical, my 3 year old son wanted to do it too, so he marched in place next to me for a while. Showing him good habits made me feel like this is what it's all about.

    I was at a family function a few weeks ago and I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror whilst standing next to my mother, with whom I have always had a very difficult relationship. I saw that the thinner I get, the more I look like her, and then I spent the next week overeating.

    The NSV? Waking up and realizing that my intense desire to not become my mother was the primary reason for packing on the pounds in the first place. Knowledge is EVERYTHING. I'm now back on track with more faith and confidence in my ability to get where I want to go, and the recognition that I am who I want to be and who I choose to make myself with my actions. Just because I look like her, doesn't mean I am her.

    You know what? Even heavier, you might still look like her. That doesn't mean you are like her!

    Excellent Awareness! So happy for you. That "protective coat" serves a lot of purposes we go for years without knowing. Wonderful to become educated about ourselves. Congratulations!

    my latest NSV is realizing how I don't even think about certain things anymore. Like whether I'll fit in bath tubs or hotel towels will wrap around me, airline seatbelts, whether the hotel bedroom will have a mirror near the bed that will make me look at myself more than I'm used to...all of this is stuff that used to keep me from traveling much. For 2-3 years now these things have no longer been an issue for me but only in the past month have I stopped and realized, "oh wow I have come to completely take for granted so many things that used to be worries at the forefront of my mind!"
