Tenth NSV, day 251: It's been several months since I've reached my goal (11.5-12.5 body fat %). I like what I see in the mirror, it's very hard to overeat the maintenance calories, and very easy to abstain from food whenever the need arises.9

Going from drinking beer almost daily with most on the weekend and smoking 2 packs a week, to 2 beers last month and a month since I quit smoking! Feeling the health!59

I work in a hospital, and the other day one of the doctors I work with on a daily basis commented on my weight loss. She told me my face looked so much slimmer! I've lost over 30lbs and she's the first comment I got from someone who didn't know I've been working on it. Feels great!!35

I took the stairs at work yesterday instead of the elevator. Three flights to get to our floor. It's the first time since we moved here in January that I haven't felt like I'm going to pass out once I got to the top. Almost 35 pounds lighter makes a difference!34

A couple of days ago I posted that I'm now overweight rather than obese according to the BMI chart. Today I realised a kind of odd tangential manifestation of that. So the thing is that I've got a huge head. Like massive. But 30 pounds ago, when I was at my heaviest, even I of all people looked like I had a pinhead. By the time I hit my goal weight, on the other hand, I'll look like a lollipop. So after some careful mirror inspection I realised that, especially in profile, at this moment I look the most attractive I'm going to look from the very particular perspective of having my head and torso be proportionate (clothed, that is, as I'm still too squishy to look particularly good naked).21

Yeah, it's been 3 years, but I want you to know you (and that dress) are adorable.22 -
Had a manic morning at work & covered 11000 steps. I've just changed into my workout clothes despite this. Just 3 months ago I'd have been headed for a nap!
Someone offered me cake towards the end of my shift too. My tummy was grumbling like crazy & I was so so tempted! But no, waited for my weetabix at home.
Feeling pretty proud right now, won't lie!

Fashion NSV: I'm really trying not to buy any clothes until I reach my target goal of 135lb. It's getting harder. My chest keeps getting smaller and smaller It's so unfair. I spent some much money at Victoria Secret semi annual sale back in June buying 34C bras. But now ALL the bands are so big it's ridiculous. I'm slowly giving up on the wait. I decided to go back to Victoria's Secret to checkout the clearance rack for anything good. I was able to find some nice 32D bras in their Very Sexy collection on clearance and bought 2. They both fit so well I didn't want to take them off in the store. A well fitted bra really makes a HUGE difference.28

We had an amazing day yesterday....my 8 year old daughter (who was born legally blind) was surprised at her school with a pair of electronic glasses that actually help her see!!!! This has been something in the works for a few months while a local foundation held fundraisers to raise the money. They cost $10,000.....
So yesterday was more than emotional for me.... as you can imagine.
On top of her being surprised with them, the tv news station and local news source was there along with family, classmates, teachers, etc. We were all interviewed and we are very, very private people. So needless to say, the emotions ran HIGH for me!
Afterwards, my parents took my husband and I out to eat to celebrate while she settled back into school (ABLE TO SEE!). I wanted a big cheeseburger and I got a big cheeseburger! I was only slightly over for the day, still under for the week, and I do not feel guilty....not one bit.....
And, to top it off, when they played in on the evening news, I got a phone call from an old friend/co-worker that I have not seen in person since I started losing. She commented "You look HOT! What the heck did you do?"
Yesterday was in no way about me, but I realized just how far I have come with food.
Pre-mfp, I would eat every single emotion. And yesterday was the perfect storm to have a total and complete binge. It didn't happen and I didn't have the urge for it to.

@Realtree2429 This is just amazing - for your daughter, for you & for your entire family - in so many different ways, that it brings tears to my eyes.21 -
Another unusual NSV for me: I fell down the stairs about 10 years ago and fractured my (R) knee. (I slipped on a hot wheels parking lot. Thanks, Kids.) Today it was hurting a lot for some reason. Then I suddenly realized— I used to have this level of knee pain (or worse) every single day! 108# down and my bones thank me. Pain is an unusual occurrence these days.48

I found Butterfinger baking bits on clearance for 50 cents a bag. This is my favorite candy!! I succumbed and bought 4 bags... So cheap! I was fully intending to go crazy and eat a bag or two tonight. Instead, I had 2 servings that fit in my calories and put the bag away. I don't think I've ever done that before. The temptation is still lurking in my cabinets, but my trigger time is right when I bought it, usually after that I can have some modicum of moderation. Hopefully that holds true!44

I lost .25" in my neck. Hey it's a small thing but I haven't gone down in clothing sizes (though my clothes fit better) or seen much measurable progress in other areas. Neck fat counts, I'm hoping for long-term improvement in snoring and sleep quality.36

Got up this morning.
It was raining and windy.
Went to Parkrun.
It was absolutely pouring down and really windy.
My son and I started running.
The rain got harder. The wind got stronger.
We continued running, turned a corner and hit a head wind.
It was very wet. Very cold. Very windy.
I couldn't see - I wear glasses and the rain had completely obliterated them. The wind was virtually knocking us off our feet .
We continued running as best we could.
I had to take my glasses off, so I was running into I have no idea what as I couldn't see without my glasses, and I couldn't see with them, either. Interesting times . . .
We carried on and finished the course.
It was slower than usual but we completed it.
Then we helped clear up afterwards because by that point, the rain was driving down and the wind was trying to take the tape and tent.
We all looked like drowned rats by the time we got back to the car (my DH, other son and small daughter were volunteering whilst my older son and I ran).
Can't wait for next week!42 -
So while I have had small NSVs of making good choices I have yet to have any physical ones. This one came at a perfect time... As I was in a mood to say screw it all!!!
Back in July I started my journey. I had No jeans that fit. We went out with some family and friends one night and I squeezed, literally, into into a pair. I had to loop a Hair tie through the button hole even and was still miserable.
So last night I got home from work and I didn't want to wear work clothes and other clothes were in the dryer not yet dry. I pull out those same jeans. Pull them on.... And I pretty much scream lmao. My husband though I had lost my mind. No hair tie, and no being cut in 2. I even wore them to work today where I do a lot of bending and crouching and I am not uncomfortable. This is huge for me!!!!!62
