NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[Katerpillar]

Just got back from an extravagent, indulgent hen do in La Manga to find all my clothes still fit and was faced with only a 1lb gain My choice making has obviously improved without me even feeling hard done to!

I got in size 16 trousers and the only reason I didn't buy them was bc they were about 8 inches too long (I'm obv a short ass lol) x

I bought a size 16dress today to wear on Saturday with leggins. This will only be the 3rd dress I have ever worn. 1 last October on holiday, my wedding dress and this one . Eeeeek scared already.

The 3 Per Una skirt I bought on the car boot sale all a size 16, 1 fits fine 2 are tight I can do them up bout wouldn't wear them yet, I have an hour glass figure so if the skirt is flared I can get away with a 16 but with jeans I need an 18 for the hips/belly/bum but they gape on the waist
Never thought I'd see a size 16 again when I was a size 26 this time last yr

Well, went to pack for my birthday-cum-holiday and thought Id try on a pair of cropped trousers I havent fitted into for a few years -only to find they fall off my arse!

And THEN when I got to my holiday I opened my birthday present from my mum which was a gorgeous new dress - and its HUGE, about 2 sizes too big for me! Checked online and they've entirely sold out of this dress now

So no summer clothes now, dont know whether to laugh or cry... :cry::cry:

Can't the dress be altered?xx

Just have to think thinner these days which is great... Better to take in than let out or throw out ... Clothes are so expensive... Go you! Xx

I've been doing SW for 5 weeks now (next WI is tomorrow), but i've lost 6lbs so far. Last week i put on a pair of size 16 trousers which used to be tight on me, but are now a comfortable fit and the zip does up no problem. I was very pleased. It's only a small NSV but it makes a difference PLUS both my mum and OH have said that my bum looks smaller!! x

Doesn't matter how small, every NSV is worth mentioning if it boosts our self esteem, let's face it we all like to feel good... xx

I just did the body fat measurement on the Embarrasing bodies website....after watching Embarassing Fat Bodies last night, and despite my BMI of obese :cry: I had a body fat of healthy 25%.
It cheered me up as i've has an STS with weight loss last 2 weeks but shows that my body magic must be working somewhere!

I ordered some jeans off eBay last week to slim in to. They came today so I thought I'd try them on to see how far away I was not only do they fit they're already too loose. Pleased with myself indeed.

A male colleague said "have you been losing weight?" to which I replied yes. Hd then said "you can really tell" . I'm chuffed as I haven't told anyone at work
