My NSV for the day? I had a dentist appointment and so hubby and the girls had one of our rare eating out occassions. They went to McDonald's and brought me back what I asked for (a small nugget and small fry, as opposed to what I used to order which would consist of multiple hamburgers and a 20 piece nugget eaten by myself!). You know what happened? It didn't taste good! The nuggets were decent and I ate them due to lack of alternatives, but other than maybe a third of the fry I tossed out the rest! Not eating food in front of me is something I struggle with big-time, so I am quite pleased with myself that I did so well today. I feel a bit blah from the food I DID eat, so the rest of the day will be spent with an apple, salad, and turkey barley soup. Yay! .-= Taryl´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.giessel.org/~taryl/weightloss/index.php/blog/show/Blah-and-blah.html" rel="nofollow">Blah and blah.</a> =-.

It's true, I don't really know what it felt like when you got on the ride a few years later, but I totally see why you would never forget it. What an amazing story!

I couldn't see an emerging thinner person in the mirror due to so many years of self-pitty, self-disappointment and self-disgust. The camera didn't lie, I was changing. Since my regaining some of my weight I find it hard to see those NSV's instead of thinking "losing a pound is good, but I should never have gained in the first place". I'm trying very hard to reframe my thinking. :) Baby steps One of my best moments was seeing a photograph of myself and not recognizing me!
