Non-scale victory!!

I know I put a lot of emphasis on the number on the scale and the total amount I have lost.  Sometimes I lose track of the other changes that are happening...

I have always hated seeing myself in pictures.  It's been many years since I looked at a picture of me and thought "hey, you look pretty good!"  

So it is a major non-scale victory for me to have recently looked at a picture and LIKED the way I looked in it.  I could see the difference in it.  It was a pretty cool feeling!  Hoping that I can look forward to many more pictures of myself that I don't hate!!

NSV: They fit!!

At Weight Watchers they talk about "non-scale victories" or NSVs.  I have my first one to share!  This morning after I got out of the shower I thought "maybe I should just try on a pair of jeans that are down a size to see how things are going."  I didn't really think they would fit...in fact I gave myself a whole pep talk before I did it..."It'll be okay if they don't fit"..."It's only been a month"..."At least you're getting closer"...  BUT THEY FIT!!!  And they're not even tight!!  I was pretty psyched!! I know it's just the first step in a long journey but I really needed that today.  I can't look in the mirror and see a difference, and probably won't for quite a while, but this gave me the confirmation that I needed that I am making progress.
