What's Your Most Recent NSV

The shirt I'm wearing today used to be a little too small but now it is getting baggy. Not to mention I bought a dress from Macy's online and it is also verging on too big. Both are a size medium! I am also officially at a healthy bmi! I haven't been a healthy bmi in over 15 years.

Multiple people at work asked if I had lost weight today

Also Realizing I don't feel like I am "on a diet" I just feel like I'm eating healthier and taking care of myself. I am in a deficit but doesn't "feel" that way if that makes sense

I don't feel like I'm on a diet either which is awesome to me. I still eat what i want, except I don't get miserably stuffed anymore at meal times. I haven't had a cocktail in a few weeks, but I just decided I would rather have food instead. I have learned to prioritize the "naughty" foods and drinks.

I wore shorts in public for the first time that I can remember. And i didn't care. And it felt good. Took me 29 years to learn to love my body, no matter the shape or size. I have had body image issues since I was very young. As a young teen I was very angry. I carved a word into my lower leg, and 15 years later the scars are faded, but I still see them because I know they are there. Nobody else noticed or cared. I just wore shorts, like a normal person. It seems really dumb, but this is huge for me. HUGE.

I have found I have clothes in my closet in three different sizes, just a little loose, kind of big, and just about falling off big. I have culled out all the just about falling off ones and am sending them to good will. I am holding off of the kind of big until I can afford to buy a few more clothes that fit better. I'm still losing so I don't want to go overboard and then find my "new" clothes are too big!

I walked 40 minutes to the shops wearing shorts. That in itself is a confidence NSV, but the reality of life without thigh rub is a magical, magical thing!

Over indulged for Mother's Day yesterday: tacos, patron, and cupcakes plus all the fixings.

Got up this morning and went for a one hour hike before doing a few kettle ball swings. Ate a decent lunch. I'm proud that I didn't let one day of indulging kick me off track. I definitely can not do that more than once in a blue moon. It was fun, but not something I want to do daily ever again!

I was able to fit into a pair of size 18 jeans my sister gave me over a year ago. And they're American Eagle brand which I've found run small sometimes. Pretty excited! Can't wait to pull the rest of my old clothes out of storage!

so a firned at church said "you might need to get new clothes soon" She's been aware of my weight loss-but my pants are a little loose-I wore them because I biked.

Today, my step daughter told me that there was more space between me and the steering wheel.

I did a 5k yesterday and got my best time ever. Then I ran another one today and beat yesterday's time.

I'm trying to do 12 in one year. I have to do 2 more by the end of May to keep my commitment.

A while back, at an assembly at my daughter's school, a woman stood up after about 30 minutes and offered me her seat on the end of a bench. She was a thin woman, with a tiny little rear end. I politely declined, but she insisted, and her (also thin) friend was still on the bench, looking up at me like I was crazy and rude for declining. But I didn't think my butt would fit in the tiny spot she had just vacated!! But I swallowed my pride and decided to let a butt cheek hang off the bench to be polite. But then an amazing thing happened. My butt fit. It fit in the tiny spot her butt had just left! My WHOLE butt! As I realized what was happening, I actually started to giggle to myself with glee. It was a pretty awesomely proud moment.

I fit into a dress in my cupboard now just in time for a wedding on Saturday. So no need to buy a new one.

I didn't pig out this weekend despite feeling annoyed/disappointed/angry with myself for not passing my driving test. I still haven't figured out if I'm going to pursue it anymore and continue being a burden on my husband and those around me or test his patience some more with driving practice. Those low self-esteem demons are mean and very loud and make it very hard for the confident and capable ones to come out victorious

People fail driving tests all the time. In fact, I just googled, and in my area the failure rate is above 50% for first timers. I told both my daughters to consider the first test as just a practice test.

But congrats on not turning to food for comfort. That's huge.

actually it was my second time. it's extra frustrating because I'm 36 and can't do what most 16 years old are capable. I seem to be missing some fundamental capability that I just can't seem to overcome.

My husband is 36 as well, and JUST got his license by the skin of his teeth. He's still uber-anxious behind the wheel. Don't be to hard on yourself; you'll get it! Is there a local driving school nearby? Most of them let you take a few lessons without having to go through the whole course; the'll charge by the hour instead. Helped hubby out a lot!
