NSV's

Thought I would post again tonight to share my Non-Scale Victories (NSV's) since, after all, the scale isn't happy for me, it doesn't care about my quality of life! Why should I care what it says all the time? Real success is measured like this:

I can clip, file, and paint my own toenails without getting short of breath.

I can reach into the dryer and get all the clothes out at once without getting short of breath.

I SLEEP SO MUCH BETTER.

I'm swimming in a size 18 jeans. (need to go shopping! baggy butt...a whole new set of problems!)

I spring up out of the chair/bed instead of slowly drag and grunt. (ha)

Dance parties with my son are now a daily occurrence.

I rarely think about food and sweets. (Unless I'm on Pinterest)

I can make a PB&J or a baked potato and not even be tempted to taste. I am in complete control.

My face is a whole lot less puffy. I'm getting compliments on my eyes again.

My bathing suit fits.

People besides family are starting to NOTICE!
