First, I can wear a size 12! At least at Old Navy, although they mainly had low riders, and I'm a little old to be wearing those. Maybe if I get to a size 8, which I think may actually be possible. In my wildest dreams, I had hoped to be able to wear a size 12 when I was done. I still have a good 30-40 pounds to go, so neat!

Second, I can't wear my engagement ring anymore, and I'm not really sad. Oh, a little bit, but when I'm done, I'll have my rings resized. I lost about 30 pounds between the engagement and the wedding, so I got a wedding ring a half size smaller than my engagement ring, thinking that I'll have no problem continuing to lose weight. Well, after the wedding, I went the other way, and for a long time I couldn't wear my wedding ring. Now, if I'm not careful, my engagement ring will just fall off my finger. So it goes into the jewelry box for now.

Try wearing the engagement ring on the inside of the wedding ring. I did that with a slightly too large ring once Actually my wedding ring now has tape wrapped around the shank because I'm afraid of it falling off. It was falling off in the shower all the time so I had to do something. I don't want to get it resized now and then again in 40 lbs or so. So I'll just wrap it for a couple months until I'm done with the diet.
