In the weight loss world, there are these wonderful milestones along the journey called non scale victories, or NSV for short.
Tonight we went to a basketball game at the university near our house. I walked through the (old school style) turnstyle without even first considering that I might not fit. We proceeded to our seats, which I could fit in without discomfort, even still wearing my coat. It was such a nice realization, once I sat down, that I didn't actually have to pre-calculate my own steps. In the past I would think about everything from the perspective of someone who knew she wouldn't fit in the space(s) provided. That was mentally and emotionally exhausting. Today I was able to just go and enjoy my time at the game. What a nice feeling!
These are small steps but they are milestones all the same. This journey is long and arduous at times. I often feel exhausted and lately have also been feeling sort of isolated. Focusing on the small, positive moments and NSVs really helps keep the blues at bay.
