NSV - a real realization!

So, I guess I've had several NSVs over the past few weeks because as I get closer to goal, the smaller weight losses are just more apparent on my body. However, last night, I was carrying my 2 year old up the steps and into the house and as I struggled to keep my balance supporting her weight, it hit me. I had lost my 2 year old in weight, well actually more than her, but greater than that was the fact that I realized how much easier I was making life on my body. I'm stronger where it counts...my body functions so much better without the extra baggage I had put on over the past few years. Though I love carrying her around while she's still little enough for me to be able to, I never want my own extra 30+ pounds again!

That is great. It is good to think of our weight loss in terms like this. I guess I have probably lost about a 5 or 6 year old child. I have lost 40 since January. It really seems weird and great at the same time when we put it in these terms.0

That was a great NSV!!! And an eye opener for me. You made realize that I was constantly carrying around and extra 6 year old for a while there. I'm down to a toddler. *grin*0
