I'm up 1.6 this week, I'll take it. I'm okay with it, quite happy with it even condsidering the emotional eating of the week, lack of exercise, and knowing this is the week I usually gain or STS as TOM's making a visit next week.
I've a couple NSVs to share. I would have posted them sooner however circumstanses being what they have been they really didn't mean anything...they do now.
1. I bought my first pair of size 18 jeans in probably 8+ years. When I go to put them on I can actually SEE the size difference in them compared to my old jeans (size 26) and get a little nervous when I go to pull them up over my humungoid hips...then breath a sigh of relief and smile something big when they not only fit, but fit comfortably, and flatter the hell out of my waist.
2. I went shopping for underwear at a "normal" sized person store. It was a beautiful thing!
3. I tried my wedding dress on again (something I've been doing regularly since I started trying to lose weight) and this time it fit...over what I would normally wear as workout gear. It fit and fit more comfortably than it did on my wedding day.
And finally...I've been able to wear a tailored button down shirt that hasn't fit properly in years. Oh! One more, my fat sucker's too big. I have to buy a new one. So I may have gained a little this week...but I'm sooooo ok with it.

Niiiiiiiice. Missus, check you out. Wasting away, you are. *jealous* I am positively beaming for you. Gain smain. Those nsv are way more than a match for it. Seriously glad you're not sweating it. Kudos....
That is so motivating! :)
Half the battle is the weight loss, and the other half is feeling great about who you are. And these NSVs are fantastic!!
I do the same thing with pants all the time. I pull a pair out of the closet (today's are a size 16) and think there's no way these will fit. But, I put them on and they do fit. And every day, I throw a little party in my head to celebrate this accomplishment.
Dumb question again...what's "STS" mean? Furthermore...GREAT NSV's!!!
