Suitcase and Travel NSV!

I went to Arizona June 27 to visit a girlfriend and her husband and came home late on July 2nd and realized just now (as I'm doing my wash and finishing my unpacking) that I had an awesome travel NSV-- I fit all of my clothing for 6 days into one little carry-on rolling suitcase!


And, not only did I fit all of my clothes into that suitcase, but on the way back I fit all of them (minus the one pair of jeans I'd brought which had to go in my backpack) PLUS all of my stupid school books that I had to bring to do homework while I was there-- I could NEVER have fit my clothing into just a carry-on before unless I was just going for one or two days and I'm not even at goal yet. Holy cow!

I wonder what I'll need to pack in when I'm at my final goal weight and size-- a lunch box?! Hehe.

Also, another NSV that I hadn't ever noticed before when traveling-- while I was walking down the aisle in the airplane, I didn't have to stand sideways to fit-- I just walked straight on back to my seat. It was an awesome feeling!

That's awesome!!!!  What great NSVs!  Congratulations

Nah..just toss it in your purse...!

Congrats on the great progress so far!

lol

Those are fabulous! I totally appreciate the packing thing, because my goal is always to use only one carryon, which I do by mixing and matching and having stuff that dries easily. (I've packed that way for several trips to the UK and had clothes for the entire 11-17 day trips in that one carry-on.)

But when I went to Hawaii in June after getting sleeved in April, I had everything in there and my bag wasn't stuffed and it wasn't heavy! If I hadn't taken a pair of 4" wedges and another pair of heels, I would have had even more room, but they took up a lot more space than flats.

that is really great because traveling in a fat body is no fun for so many reasons.... living in Hawaii I fly a lot. I like the part about going down the plane aisle because I use to dread going to the restroom, not only did I not fit in the mini restroom very well but going down the aisle and bouncing off the seats or god forbid someone's head usually kept me in my seat unless I really had to GO! I am getting ready to fly again in about 2 weeks and I am looking forward to fitting in all places on the dam plane.
