NSVs - Non Scale Victories

Oooh, lots of lovely NSVs :D


Mine isn't really quite as lovely, but anyway, I had a bit of sugar free gum this morning (onions for breakfast, 4 for 1/2syn seemed worth it!) and it set off my IBS big style.... I'd never put 2 +2 together on the gum before because my IBS was a fairly constant unpleasantness but since I started on SW it's been practically non-existent because I'm eating so much better (and my near-constant acid reflux is a thing of the past, too :D).

Wow, I spent a long time eating myself sick...thank God I've stopped!

Glad you mentioned this but I have Crohns disease and since starting SW I feel SO MUCH HEALTHIER :)

Vegetables used to set me off but I'm having so many now I think my body is used to them!

I went back to school today (I'm a teacher) and couldn't believe how many staff commented on how much weight I've lost and how good I look for having lost it. Two even said they didn't recognise me when I was walking down the corridor! All smiley now. . . . lets see what the students' reaction is on Wednesday!
 
I feel NSVs are the biggest part of my journey i get to hung up on the weight thing and go off track when i dont lose so im starting a no scale thing and im going by my clothes and compliments from now on!!!

That's a great achievement... Sometimes the scales don't show what is really happening to our bodies, so to see it in clothes or photos helps much more... xx

Had a little blow out yesterday cos I felt I needed one. Had whole of sainsbury's at my disposal, I bought 2 bags of kettle chips which we didn't finish & 2 mini tubs of ben & jerry's. This is seriously nothing compared to a previous blowout. I still had syns in mind. I'm so proud!

Did have 20 syns of biscuits earlier in the day and around the same in chocolate. But I stayed in control & now a line has been drawn & 2 yummy meals have been planned for lunch & dinner:)

I do this sometimes and hate myself for it then i get into a snowball affect where i cant stop over eating cos im eating to stop feeling bad about it and my mum uses the phrase in for a penny in for a pound and i start to think well yeah. its not until i count up the syns ive had that i finally snap out of it
so you've done well to get over it straight away hope i can do it the next time or just say NO to myself because i dont really need the bad things

I used to go on week long blow outs:/ and struggle to get out of them so I understand completely.

I feel I've come a long way by allowing the blow out and keeping it under control:)
 
you have, i hope i make it there someday but i think by accepting that we do it sometimes we can overcome it and get back on track straight away.

You can do it too! :) this is my 4th or 5th time with sw but this time feels so much different. Like I've finally broken through my food issues and I do feel that I can maintain once I get to target. It's a world apart from what I used to be like!
 
Really proud of myself... DarkSouls meeting tonight and not one drink of alcohol passed my lips, just soda water and low cal lime... I never had any haribo sweeties when they were passed around... Please if there is any justice I need to lose at Two this week...

Thanks babe, I used to down at least one bottle of wine at a DS meeting and because I live here at the pub and don't drive, everyone notices I am not drinking... Thing is everyone in my group is really pleased that I am finally doubt this for me and looking well...

Haribo reminded me of my sweet buffet for the wedding - ive started filling the jars up - and i bought 9 bags of bears and 9 of starmix. 6.5 bags fitted in each jar, so i have 5 left over. I have hidden them in the cupboard and didnt eat any as they went in the airtight jars. Woo!
