NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[ColJack]

While sitting in burger king noticed how much of huge gap between me and the table where I used struggle so much to fit into the seat

blast you, I now have the urge to go into McDonalds to see if I fit in the booths now.
I haven't set foot in one for nearly 18 months.
Oh wait that's not strictly true.. Went into one for a coffee at 06:40 on Dec 28 as I was waiting for someone to open work.
I didn't sit down however and only bought a black coffee.

That's ace Coljack, must be so cool to inspire people (you're certainly inspiring me!)

Two NSVs for me yesterday:

1) I bought a jacket from the New Look main range in an 18 (snug when fastened, but fits) for the first time... ever! I've never bought anything below a 20 from there since we've had a store in my town!

2) my best friend said to me 'this may sound mean, but I don't mean it like that... before now I never knew you had a shape, I thought your shape was just...ROUND, but now I can see as you lose that you've got a nice womanly shape ' I was BEAMING last night!

I can cross my legs! And kneel down changing my little man's nappy! And I can even stand up after!!

I can cross my legs now too and also I can walk upstairs to go to the loo without getting out of breath.

Losing an inch of my waist, an inch off my hips and four(?!) from around my bust in two and a half weeks

Also going to my boyfriend's housemate's birthday do last night, being confronted with yummy crappy food and limiting myself to one small, 4.5 syn, cookie. Not even a slice of birthday cake.

I quite agree - the scales this week showed a 2 pound gain for me yet my clothes felt looser! Cant work that one out but I think even though the scales say 'no' our bodies say something different.
The biggest buzz is people noticing x

Climbed up 2 (small!) flights of stairs today and realised I had made it to the top without having to hang on for dear life to the bannister rail! xxx

Went shopping today, tried a size 18 on and it was really baggy, so bought the 16 instead! :') last time I was a 16 on top was... gosh, I don't know

I tried on my size 14 jeans id put to the back of the wardrobe and they fit, yip ee the only down size is there a bit out of fashion now lol

 

[JezVonSavage]

Who cares Vanessa? Wear them inside out so everyone can see the label

 

[odd_sock]

Had a trying on session the other night and now have more jeans I can wear as they fit again. Also got into some size 14 jeans, ok huge muffin top going on but still they done up - hopefully they'll fit properly in the next few weeks/months x

I bought two size 18 dresses this weekend. One is a little bit tight so I can't wear it yet without mega control pants (you know, the ones that go from your knees to your bra!) but they are size 18! I know that I am not actually that size, as I'm still mostly in between a 20-22 but the very fact that I bought something from New Look that wasn't in the Inspire range felt like a massive NSV!

 

[TickingEwe92]

My size 16 jeans are falling down! Eeek!

 

[ermintrude]

Just got mesen a pair of size 22 trousers I used to not fit in a 32/34. (Granted they are a bizarre fit and by rights my ass should not fit in there, but hey )

My ass rocks! :massmoon:

I managed to get mine into a 22 from Evans a couple of months ago and was over the moon, then a few weeks later a 22 from Asda, £10!!! It's a great feeling when you can pick up stuff in the supermarket and I cant wait to move down to a 20!!

Unfortunately my daughters friend has gone back to Australlia :cry:but my nsv is that I have been able to have a few of the clothes that she didn't want to carry back with her! Smaller sizes(12's and 14's) than when I was there age!

Totally agree with Jez Vanessa hon - if you feel good in them - wear them! Personally when I can fit back into all my clothes from as far back as the 90s I will be wearing them! :giggle: xxx
