Non-Scale Victory - Loose Rings

by

corpsebrideI am both happy and annoyed at my latest non-scale victory.

My wedding rings are now too big for me to wear.

Haha. When I started losing weight, I never thought about my rings or about how I’d need to get them resized eventually. The thought never crossed my mind. But now my rings have gone from ‘a little lose’ on my ring finger to the point I refuse to wear them because I’m so afraid I’ll lose them.

I wear one of the rings on my middle finger of my left hand and the other one on the ring finger of my opposite hand (one is smaller than the other), but it feels a bit weird doing it that way.

I’m thinking of getting a replacement cheap ring for the time being part of my latest reward. I haven’t picked up my new pajamas yet, so I could just stick it on, right?

I would just get them resized now, but I’m still about sixty pounds away from my goal weight, so I’m sure that what will fit now will be too big then. I’d rather do it just the once, even though it will be weird to be without my true wedding bands for so long…

I might give in and get them resized sooner, but not quite yet. The funny thing is I had to get them both resized when I bought them because they weren’t big enough!

It’s so nice to have a non-scale victory to talk about. I love supporting other people with their NSVs, but I don’t think I give enough attention to my own.

    I’m just wearing a cheap ring for now… We locked away my expensive ring when it became too big a few weeks ago. I’ll have it re-sized when I reach my goal.

    Well done on reaching this stage!

    Thank you. :) I have one that I’m wearing, but it looks so utterly non-wedding ring that I don’t really like it.
