Obesity, dresses, and selfies!

#1

I’ve had four NSVs in the past week!

  1. I am officially no longer clinically obese. I’m not a fan of the BMI calculation but as far as my medical records go, I will no longer see “Obesity” as one of my conditions.

  2. Cleaning out my literal closet, I found about half a dozen dresses that I haven’t worn since 2010. (Not sure why I kept them that long, tbh. They’re super cute.) I looked at the one that has scary vertical stripes - very form fitting, sleeveless, short - and said aloud “oh yeah, right” as I giggled and slid that damn thing on. It fit. Not where I’d wear it out yet exactly, As vertical stripes are brutal, but it’s not far off. All the others fit, too, and my wearable wardrobe just expanded.

  3. I wore a dress to a wedding last week. I haven’t worn a dress or skirt in public in years. I can’t believe I finally felt comfortable enough to do it! And the bride said to me a few days later that her mother asked “who is that Asian girl in the red dress?” The bride told her and asked her why she wanted to know. Her mom said “because she looks so beautiful.” :heart:

  4. This is a little silly but… I have been on a dating website on and off for 10 years. (Yes - ten!) i activated my membership again a few weeks ago. It requires photos, of course. I hate my selfies and typically delete them as soon as i see them but needed something. I’ve taken several since my 30-pound weight loss. I now really like my selfies and have posted them on the site… so actual people can see them!

Thanks for reading these. I’m feeling really good today and wanted to share with people who get it. :slight_smile:

All are great NSV. Don’t you love shopping in your own closet? It can be fun.

Every one of these is cause for celebration, just by itself. It feels so good to look better and feel great physically. That’s why it makes me so sad when people say, “I could never eat like that!” (keto - like it’s a hardship)

So happy for you!
