NSV and SV while on vacation!

One night during my vacation it was very chilly outside and I hadn't brought along a coat, only a zip up sweater that was being laundered at the moment. My husband brought along two jackets, a lightweight one and a heavier leather one. He saw that I was freezing, and knew that I didn't have a jacket with me so he suggested that I wear his (size XL men's jacket). I told him that I was fine (because I didn't want to be embarrassed putting on his jacket only to find out that it was too tight). Finally though, I couldn't take the cold any longer and I gave in. Not expecting it to fit, I slipped my arms in, and not only did the jacket slide right on, but there was room to zip it and even cross my arms if I wanted to. This was definately not possible 74lbs ago!!! I was truely thrilled that it fit, and I could see the surprise in my husband's face as well!

Also, I was very surprised to come home after my 10 day vacation to discover that I'd lost 6lbs despite the lovely Mexican pastries and quesadillas!!!

Isnt it funny how we can all identify with those tiny, personal little thoughts. I've spent many evenings at BBQ's and the like shivering outside at night because I didnt bring a jacket. Now I'm not really enormous compared to other people, and most everyone I know has expressed great surprise that I would consider weight loss surgery. I always get the "you're not fat, your just big boned" type comments.

Yet I've refused offers of jackets - always from the man of the house, because of course, the size 10 jacket my girlfriend could offer me wouldnt fit - and I've refused because I've known the jacket wont fit me.

Little things like that make a big difference to how you feel about yourself dont they?
