I'll be honest...I feel kind of dumb writing "Non Scale Victories" on my blog. It is still the best way of defining those health and weight loss breakthroughs that don't occur in a purely weight loss manner. There are two, in particular, that I want to highlight:
- I can't pinpoint the exact date, but around 2 - 2 1/2 weeks ago I just started feeling better. I think this has more to do with the healthy eating and exercise than the actual weight loss. When I would have to get up from a seated position or when climbing stairs, I would feel winded and tired. It sounds weird, but I feel more energized. I don't feel like I'm laboring when I do simple chores anymore. That feeling alone is worth the effort.
- Back in March, I couldn't even suck in my gut to make myself look good. I could always do things with my fat to make myself look decent for at least as long as I could hold my breath. Now, I'm back into that realm. Yay! It's a small victory, but not even being able to convince myself for a 30 seconds that I looked good was a problem for me. I long for the day when I don't even need to suck in my gut to have it look good
