NSV!

…but first I just want to say THANK YOU for the very sweet and MUCH appreciated comments on my Spring Break pictures. Y’all sure know how to make a girl blush 
So thank you, they totally made my day and plastered a smile on my face!
Now on to my NSV (non-scale victory)! This morning as I was on my way out the door, headed to work, my roomie stopped me and said, “you know I can really tell you are losing weight, especially in your legs!” I smiled and thanked her, told her I really appreciated it. I walked to my car with my head a little higher and then totally made a bee-line for the bathroom once I got to work to see if I could tell what she was talking about, lol. Now I don’t know if I necessarily see it but she’s not the type of person to just say things like that, so I know it was genuine. Regardless of if I see it or not, it made my day!
And it’s so funny because in the past, several years ago, when I first started losing weight and peopled commented, I kind of took it personally. It was a “well obviously you thought I NEEDED to lose weight in the first place, gosh.” (I’m shaking my head at how naive I was, lol). I also didn’t like to share that I was on WW. I don’t know why. I guess it was like if I didn’t openly, publicly acknowledge that I was trying to lose weight then no one else would see that I needed too, haha. Oh the things we tell ourselves!
Either way, I appreciated her comment AND I appreciate the comments of my fellow bloggers. Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face and an extra bounce in my step! (not to mention a great source of motivation )
Happy Good (OP) Friday!!

I feel they same way sometimes about publicly acknowledging that I am dieting and exercising or telling how much I have lost. Its like admitting how over weight I was and am. I guess it is something we all have to learn how to deal with. Your pictures look great. Keep smiling you deserve it.

Ok first of all ya! on your NSV!!! and second of all… I used to be soooo secretive about WW. I lost 20 lbs before I got married and never told anyone that I was on WW. I think dh and I were either engaged or dating for quite some time before I even told him!! And it was too funny cause al l his sisters, & mom were doing WW and I still kept it a secret! It’s like you said, I didn’t want him to know that I had that much of a “problem” to have to do a program! Ha ha! Now I’m so open about it and ya know what, no one cares! And if they do care, it’s in a supportive way, not a “Looking down on you” way! Who would’ve thought! (:
