NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[cherrybobs]

I now have several pairs of size 14 jeans which all fit comfortably. From the same shop that, 2 years ago, I burst into tears in the changing room when I could only just do up the size 20 jeans.

Finally noticing the difference in my undies comparison pictures I've been taking of myself - I'm so proud! Makes me carry on staying on track!

That tight pencil skirt I had to struggle to get into and struggle to button and zip? Well I just have to step into it and pull it up now. It's baggy in the waist. I can sit down in it with no worry about splitting the seams! Yay me!

At the moment my NSV is teaching my kids to eat healthy without starving themselves xx my kids never had trouble eating but I've always been conscious with my daughter that I might be giving out wrong message about her image as I've dieted before when she was little and now she's older (only 9) shes aware of her weight so starting SW as taught me to eat without it feeling like a diet therefore taking the limelight off the whole weight taboo with her xx

Before Xmas I couldn't do up my boots my hubby bought me despite them being a wide fit. Now they not only go up over leggings but over jeans too x

i've only lost 10.5lbs so far (out of near on 100 to lose) but I can definitely feel the difference when I'm walking - I feel lighter on my feet and walking is noticeably more comfortable, and more enjoyable, which is a very pleasing NSV

Also after a 3 day trip away where I ate terribly (very rich food, three course dinners etc) I felt horribly bloated and sluggish, and it's an NSV for me that this made me want to immediately get back on plan and back to fruit and veg, and that I felt so much better in myself and happier after a few days back on plan there have been many times where i've let myself be easily deterred, but this time little blips are just blips and aren't derailing me, which is great. I credit that to the plan itself, I feel like it's retraining me on how to eat healthily and have a healthy relationship with food

This is a great thread. I think it needs a bump. I bought a motivation dress, just a cheapy for £5 in a small. I tried it on so I would know how it felt for comparison for future and it actually fit! My tummy and bottom could definitely do with being smaller so the dress looks good and my back flab, although less, is definitely still there but it went on my body!

I went shopping yesterday... I bought 2 new pairs of jeans in the sales. One was £9 and the other pair was £11.

This time last year I was wearing size 26 jeans that were very snug and had an elasticatwd waist. The jeans I bought yesterday are a size 16! SIZE 16!!!!! Blooming chuffed with that. I'm aiming to be a size 14 for Christmas I think!

 

[engagingwithfreedom]

That's fantastic Sharrington! Such a great achievement! I'm size 16 too at the moment, I think I might join you on being a size 14 for Christmas.
