NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[MinkyDinky]

Bought some new track bottoms today. Thought I'd chance a smaller size, so went for the 18s. I've so much room in them I reckon I'd get into the 16s comfortably. Yay!!!

Woot to you Mandy! I bought my first ever pair of skinny jeans yesterday 2 sizes smaller than what I currently wear... I say wear, they kinda hang

Well done sweetie! Xx

Went to an earlier group today, got told 'you don't need to lose any weight?' from the ladies taking the money

and then got openly flirted with while getting my raffle tickets!



I don't think they get many men in that group?

Just goes to show how fab your looking, enjoy lol

I bought a pair of jeggings a couple of years ago, and I swear they were so hard to get into that I should have propped them up at the bottom of the stairs and took a leap into them lol

YAY!!! I just bought my first pair of trousers in a LOOOOOONNGGG time that didn't have to come from the internet or "specialist" store or market stall...
I am also trying to not add the phrase "ok they were the biggest that tesco sells....." and just revel in the fact that I can now wear "regular" off the peg clothes..

I'm now in a size 46 trouser ( still hard to find that size in a 33 leg though.. hate being tall.. ), a L or XL shirt / T-shirt, and an XL or XXL jumper / hoodie ( I like my jumpers baggy.. )
Not bad going from a start of size 70 jeans, and 6XL or 7XL tops..

Today's NSV is a food victory. I went with my best friend this morning as she was having one last scan done before baby comes. So we headed out for lunch afterward and for a look in the shops. We went to a little café and I had an omlette with cous-cous salad, and spinach salad. I ended up using my HEXB for the olive oil in the spinach salad, and 4.5syns for a tbsp of real mayo, but it was absolutely gorgeous, filling and healthy. And a far cry from the Boneless Banquet for One we'd usually get in KFC!

An hour later she had a large icecream cone with a flake in... and I turned one down. Yay me!

Well done xMandyDx. That's half the battle isn't it - making the right choices, but it's hard sometimes especially when out with non sw-ing friends. xxx
