I reconnected with an old friend from 10 years ago, and it's been opening my eyes up to a lot of things.
I feel a new sense of self-confidence and purpose

Instead of making a pasta bake tonight, I decided to basically do the keto version with no pasta just meat, sauce, veggies, and cheese. I've already been eating too many carbs today, so this makes me feel better even though I haven't done it yet today.

After years of not fitting into knee high boots, I finally bought a pair that not only fit but I have room to tuck my fingers in the top to adjust my socks!! And their not even wide calf boots. 😊😊22

It takes persistence and not kicking yourself when you slip up. We all do from time to time. Just dust yourself off and continue on your healthy lifestyle journey. We all deserve that.6 -
I punched two new holes in my belt a while back, needing the first but not expecting to use the second, perhaps ever. Today, that's where it is done up! There are 15cm (6") between the hole I was using when I was at my largest in around 2014 and where I am today. Where my belt does up does depend a bit on what trousers I am wearing. But 15cm! The pens in the photo mark the belthole I once used and the belthole I am using today. (Sorry the picture is so fuzzy.)

I saw my APRN yesterday. She was thrilled with the progress I've made. My labs and blood pressure were good. My fasting gluclose was higher than I would like but at this point she is not concerned. She feels I am well on my way to preventing diabetes. I told her I would like to lose another 20-25 pounds and see how I feel then. (I will be in the mid-range of overweight according to BMI charts.) She thought that was great and told me that "BMI's can be brutal and not to be to concerned about that." I was extremely happy! It has been a long time since I've gotten such a good report.17

I got on the scale and my weight was up about 3 pounds from 1.5 weeks ago (not trying to gain, actually trying to lose a few/body recomp). #1: This didn't get me down as I know my weight fluctuates wildly and #2: A pair of jeans I bought about 6 weeks ago fit a little bit looser, even though I've already washed them a couple of times.20

Noticing a big change in my stomach, sides and back.16

I put on a pair of capri's I haven't worn since summer of 2020. They were so big, that they kept sliding down.

I notice I’m moving more in between actual exercise. When I’m carrying extra weight my body doesn’t enjoy movement as much because it’s hard work, but at a lighter weight I’m naturally bouncy.17

sat down this morning while dressing and noticed my belly is starting to look a little less stretched. It is starting to resemble a deflated balloon (slightly!).13

In 2014 I found this red, suede, bomber jacket in a thrift store and bought it because I loved it. I've worn it some since then, but as an open jacket because NO WAY would it zip.
Today? It zips with room to spare.30 -
Also, as someone who didn't start weighing myself (at all, ever) until way late, NSVs like this feel like the only thing that MEANS anything. I know the weight I started trying to be healthier, but there's no way for me to gauge my weight (as in numbers) compared to other points in my life except 'lower than when I started'. "This Jacket has never fit me/zipped closed" is measurable.14

I have noticed this as well. I am just more likely to bop along to music, or run up the stairs. It makes life a bit more fun

This is a victory as far away from a scale that can be. Last Friday I invited my ex wife over for dinner and a talk. We aired all out grievances and said everything that need to be said. We made a pact to start fresh, have a friendship that looks to the future, not the past. So freeing and conscious cleansing.40
