Non Scale Victories

NSV is a common weight loss blogging term. It stands for non scale victories.  The little things that make us glow from the inside out because it was an acheivement that didn't reflect a number on the scales. 


I've had a few recently that were blog worthy. 


Last night, after a big day in my nail studio I jumped into the shower quickly and had to decide what to wear to a friends Hens Night.   Now, I LOVE my 'suck my guts in' underwear. From slip dresses to grannie undies and pull everything into place and make me feel better in my clothes. 


My slip dress slipped on. As it's supposed to and I didn't have to flounder around like a freshly caught fish on shore. Wow. Then came the dress.  I whipped out old faithful. The black dress that carried me through 30 kg weight gains and losses and through a 50kg gain during my pregnancy with Master 1.5yrs. It's a bit booby, but I wore it anyway. 


Mr Bandit said "Wow" when I walked out and ran his hands around my back and bottom saying "Holy crap!"   When I jumped and asked what he was holy crapping about he asked me to get the camera.  This is the picture he took. 







When I saw this I burst into tears. That's me? That's what I look like from behind now? 


So what do I look like from the front? What difference has 20 kilos done for my shape? You be the judge.  I was really happy when I saw these pictures. 




Those boots were another NSV. I haven't been able to do them up, now they slide up without  me sucking in my cheeks, belly and wishing my thighs into submission. Love it! 


Ooops, a client has just arrived so I might just post this and write another NSV soon! 


Have a brilliant weekend everyone!
