I was walking down the hall here at work and heard something go "clink" on the floor. Looked down and it was my WEDDING BAND. OMG!!!! It had gotten really loose on my ring finger, so I had moved it to my index finger. It just slipped off and I didn't even notice. So thankful I wasn't outside or something where I wouldn't have heard the sound.
Now, I've moved it to my middle finger. It's snug enough now that it won't slip over my knuckle. Hopefully. Hope everyone is having a marvelous Monday.
Blessings.

Re: WEDDING BAND BLUES (not really)
Yep! That's why I am wearing the cheap ring for now. Mine had to fall twice before I took it off until I am at goal and have it re-sized. It is a very visible sign that this plan is working for you. Your fingers aren't getting smaller without the rest of you doing the same ! Isn't LDL the best??! Pam

Re: WEDDING BAND BLUES (not really)
Now THAT'S the kind of problem we all want to have!
Good job, Beth, and so glad you didn't lose your ring in the process. What an encouragement to keep on going!
Enjoy the little surprises along the way, and the littler you!

Re: WEDDING BAND BLUES (not really)
Beth,
Getting your rings resized is also a "now I can't turn back to my old ways" reminder. I hope as you continue to lose and you move down a size in clothes to have them altered or give them to charity. You don't want them in your closet because your mind set cannot be "just in case LDL doesn't work". I have given away three sizes, which was 3/4 of my clothes, had the other fourth altered, and bought a few new things. Now, I have clothes that fit me and they are a constant reminder that I must maintain my goal weight. Your day will come when you have to start closet cleaning and I hope you'll love every minute of it -- I did!

Re: WEDDING BAND BLUES (not really)
Vicki Lynn,
I can't wait to get to the "cleaning-out-the-closet" stage!!! I'll keep ONE pair of fat pants (to show off), everything else is going to go! I've got a whole new wardrobe waiting for me in there...stuff I have never worn with tags still on them. Right now, I've two pair of dress pants that I alternate between, one black, one navy blue. Pants are the hardest thing for me to find to fit, because I'm so "bottom-heavy". I can't wait to start having more variety in my wardrobe!!! It's just on the horizon!
Blessings to you, Vicky Lynn

Beth,
I too have always been 'bottom-heavy" and I had a waist that was a lot smaller so finding pants that fit both my waist and thighs was a challenge. Now comes the good news -- LDL is not only the only way to lose weight, but as you do somehow this way of eating re-distrubites your weight properly. Believe me when I say that I no longer have much trouble finding pants to fit me. One more plus for LDL!
P.S. The only problem now when I search for a pant I like is finding a pair that sits on the waist and not just below or lower. Why they think older women would look good in the lowered waist pants is beyond me.

Re: WEDDING BAND BLUES (not really)
Vicky, I had the same problem--usually had to buy mix and match suits. Now I get to buy one size. Thanks to LDL. I have never had my rings re-sized. I should, but my ring guard is large and still stays below my big knuckle. I did buy my 70th birthday ring one size smaller. It could have been more, but to go over my knuckles, I couldn't. My size 8 bracelets fall off. I lost one, but found it. I did have several 71/2 so they are fine. Now I can order size 7---less expensive. I shop a lot at Antique stores and at flea markets for jewelry. While in Fredricksburg, Texas for the LDL get together, I found a beautiful bracelet. If I had of had my big wrists, I could not have worn it. I just love it, and I think of the good time we had there. LDL has so many positive outcomes. Sooo grateful for it. and Joyful Friend
