Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Good to hear from you again Cyrena! I am glad that your hubby is getting better and you are doing well too! Great to read all of the NSV's out there! That is awesome! Crossing my legs was a big one for me too! I just suddenly realized that I was crossing my legs without having to lift one leg over the other! That was such a great feeling! Additionally, I can put my hands folded on top of my legs...not stretched across my stomach as a shelf. I had to cross my arms over or under my bust and lay them on my stomach shelf. I used to envy those who could just cross their arms and/or fold them in their lap. My stomach was too big to reach my legs.....now I can rest my hands on the tops of my legs without touching my stomach! I like being in a smaller sized bra and underwear. I don't mind having to buy new intimate items! My stomach does not hit the steering wheel of the car. I can move closer to the steering wheel without having to strech my arms out in front of me. The seat belt also doesn't get lost in the folds of fat. I have more energy to park further away from store entrances. I don't mind walking the extra distance. Before, I would circle the parking lot until I could find a spot close to the door. I no longer huff and puff when I go up and down steps. I used to feel my stomach as I would rise my leg up to each step. I no longer feel that and I can easily go up the steps to school.....and not look for an elevator. It was so great to hear from each person and their NSV's! Happy Holidays!

So I'm contemplating getting a small fill until we know when we will try to get pregnant. I have always admired people who said after they lost their weight they could go w/out a band, I'm not one of those people. I was using my band everyday to control my eating, right now I'm kind of crazy with food. It is so strange to eat whatever everyone else is eating It's been about a year since I have done that. And the sweets available this time of year, ohhhhhh my! My other issue is that I'm still "drinking" calories like I'm too tight and then eating on top of that. I know all this will settle down soon, I'm aware of what is going on so that is the good.My husband is healing, he still has lots of pain, but that is to be expected. We are working on paperwork to see if he can get disablity for the 3 months he is off work, that will help :)It is so good to hear from you and I hope you have a very blessed Christmas!!!
