Yesterday was a couple of NSV's but I am reserving the scale again for tomorrow.
DH took me out to brunch. This place does brunch! I mean it is a dress up morning and AH-mazing food. However, if you check out my food entry you will see that I was GOOD and guess what? I didn't feel deprived. I allowed myself a mimosa (topped with extra champagne). I allowed myself one chocolate covered strawberry and a bonbon. Other than that I feasted on smoked salmon with some cream cheese, prawns, deviled eggs, andouille sausage skewers (two of these) with a small piece of cheese and a piece of red bell pepper (remembering this for the next party we go to). Anyway...the point is the NSV is that I didn't feel deprived. When we both left we were like I am full. I wasn't stuffed or miserable but I was FULL. I didn't eat again for the rest of the day. So we wrapped up brunch at 10:45am and as of 8:05am this morning the only thing I had was my collagen water last night and black coffee this morning. I feel good. I felt in control. DH had some cheese and meat last night and sure it 'looked good' but I did a quick review and I wasn't hungry. Then, of course, he makes a pan of chocolate chip cookies which I bagged up last night and put away. Yes, they smelled good but I put them away.
The other NSV....digging things out of my closet that I haven't worn in a couple years or more. I rocked my black skirt with some black tights and boots with heels and a blouse that I was not able to button up!! The boots...sure I could wear but haven't felt 'comfortable' in them. Yesterday, I felt great in them and bonus didn't feel like I was going to fall and bust my ass.
Today I start the gym with a friend. She and I both have a free month membership. So I plan on getting my treadmill in at home and then taking full advantage of the weight machines and possibly mix it up with the rowing machine or the elliptical machine.
So I am prepared to not see a lot of scale movement as I see my body making some shifts and rebuilding some muscle.
Have a great day/week and be kind to yourself!

You rock! I'm having to rely on those NSV's as I won't weigh, period. A ring I wear went from fitting my ring finger, to being loose, to fitting my middle finger now. I'm shooting for the day when I don't have to 'allow' myself to eat certain foods to where it's just natural instead of a 'bargaining' but I've had such bad eating habits, even when trying to lose weight, that I may never achieve it naturally. Good on you. I'm following you!

Bella - I believe that day will come. I, too, have had such bad eating habits and a horrible relationship with food. I have started over more times than I can count and it started way before my history on FS. I am at a point in my life that I actually feel like I am getting into a healthier head space. I say head space because honestly it has to come from there. The scale is only one of many tools for me, but I could easily let it rule me if I allowed it. I was just telling my sister, today, that if I allowed it then scale could really screw with me. Seriously, .6# in one week and I am working at it. However I remind myself all the things this is not. It is not a race. It is not about the scale. It is not really about what I can wear. It is not about how much someone else loses. It is not about the success of others. It is not about my self worth. It is only about my health. That is where it should have always been, and as much as I may have said it I didn't BELIEVE it. I still made it about other things. If I make it about my health, and the realization that with this surgery I HAVE to commit to this. I will be successful. We all fail and trip and fall and setback on our paths. Success isn't based off of 100% commitment with no failures or setbacks. We succeed because we don't give up on ourselves. :)
