Hello MFPs!

I'd like to make a list of NSVs that I will achieve throughout my weightloss. I want to build all the motivation/inspiration I can into this journey :happy:

I'm stuck on ideas though! What are some of your Non-scale victories or non-scale goals?? So far I have:

Get into my skinny jeans.
Give away my skinny jeans and need a smaller pair!
Run a half marathon under 2:30
Have no "plus" clothes in my closet.

I'd love a HUGE list! Tell me your proudest NSVs!

Ella :heart:

    A comment on how great you look from someone who doesn't know you are dieting

    Feeling how much better a seat on the plane, movie theatre, theme park ride feels when you sit in it

    Being able to buy an item of clothing from a real store (ie one that doesn't sell plus size)

    Looking at a pic of yourself and actually seeing the change in how you look

    Choosing to not eat something that you would normally just gorge into without thinking and feel proud of that

    Only works for large weight losses, but running into someone in public from your past who doesn't recognize you!

    2. Get into the next size down trousers (36 inch now from 38)
    3. See changes in the mirror.
    4. Comments from others.
