The scales are still refusing to shift – pretty much like the bowling ball of poop in my lower stomach – so I was feeling kinda down. But then, this morning, things starting ‘moving’ and I started to feel like I might just be emptying out. I decided to have random shower (as in, I was in the bathroom and spent forever on the loo so decided I wanted to feel clean and have a shower). Good idea as I felt very refreshed – not so good idea as I didn’t have my dressing gown with me and had to do a naked slow ‘streak’ back to my bedroom and man, it was cold!

However, during my shower I had a NSV (Non Scale Victory) which made me think that I needed to start celebrating them. I have a bariatric sized shower chair that I used and up until now it’s been a decent fit. Not roomy, but I don’t have to try to squeeze myself into it. This morning, I realised that I had room on both sides of my thighs in the chair. I have no idea how long this has been happening but I finally noticed it today and had to admit to myself that it represented a loss in inches, even if the scales aren’t moving.

So I’m going to grab that as my first official NSV and try to take notice of any that happen in the future. I managed to stop myself re-weighing to see if my time on the toilet had manifested some solid results (pun definitely intended) but decided that I needed to show some restraint and just accept the number that was on the scales initially on Monday and just see how things go.

I was also contemplating migrating this blog – and my book review blog – over to Dreamwidth or Livejournal. It might make it more efficient in terms of editing and formatting and mean that I only have to be on one site to do all of those things. I set up the weight loss blog on Livejournal but I’m not happy with the design for the moment. For some reason on Dreamwidth, every time I tried to set up the blog it kept changing my main blog and that is definitely not what I wanted to happen. Maybe after my diabetes eye check tomorrow, I will have another go.

What’s going through my head is just why this has suddenly come into my head? I feel a little more vulnerable on Livejournal as it’s been running since 2010 or something like that, so there might be stuff on there that I don’t want to link to the weight loss or book review site. And I have actually had some views on the book review blog so maybe now isn’t the time to move it? I don’t know – maybe I was making busywork for myself or something.
