In other news, my wedding ring will barely stay on anymore and I have been thinking about wearing it on a necklace chain until I reach my goal weight and get it resized. That's ... good, I believe :-P and I will take the nsv !

I have already gone down a ring size in 25 days so I went to the jewelry store today to see if I could get one of those temporary metal resizers that go on the back of the ring. Apparently, I am out of the loop! They sent me down to Claire's where they sell a whole pack of almost invisible rubber resizers (for 3.95!) that slip on the back of your ring. They have a variety in the pack so that you can choose your desired snugness!

I've got the same problem, Karli, with the wedding ring! It's a size 9. The anniversary band it a little smaller, so I wore that alone for a while, then I switched it to my right hand. But my finger is now a size 7!! So, I bought a temporary imitation thing for under $30. Mike and I have our 10th coming up in 2008, so we're going to get new rings to symbolize our new life together. (He's had his resized twice already.)
Here's to our mutual success! :buddies: --Diana

Ms DeDe, I feel inclined to scold you for that comment : :whip:




Okay, so, I am weighing in at 176.5 this morning, that feels great. I did great eating out yesterday and found myself a chicken cesar salad for the second day out in a row, but it was delicious and I very much enjoyed the company. Will need to be finding my L&G out again today, this time it's Thai food, but I have found Thai L&G before. I will need to do this a couple more times this week. So far, so good.

I love you everybody :mrgreen:


9 -- choco mint bar
12:30 -- L&G (ate out, and only found about 1/2 a portion. Deciding to add a supp. today)
1 -- choco shake (I decided to add a shake today)

Did no one read my post or do you just like to suffer with fake jewelry ( a crime against Liz Taylor) or pay jewelers before you have to??? Buy a temporary resizer for 3.95!

hee heee... Biki, I read it. AND, I appreciate it... LOL. I just thought that maybe you had read my mind as I thanked you in my mind and forgot to say so outwardly. So, I will look into that this week as I now have my ring on a chain around my neck and would prefer to have it back on my finger !

If you don't want the rubber finger snuggy things, most jewelers will put on you the metal thing that goes on the back of the ring too....the only thing is that it is not adjustable as you lose even more weight, you would have to get another one put on. They don't affect the integrity of the ring at all. Most of the time they use them when you buy a ring that is the wrong size but want to wear it out of the shop to fulfill yourself instantly and bring it back later to be really resized. Like when you pick out your own engagement ring. A couple of times.

Great advice, Biki. I just opted for something else. Just personal preference. And it was already done before I encountered your wisdom. I was actually going to go without until we get the new ones, but I feel a little more socially protected with a little something on that finger.

Thanks for hosting this chat in your journal, Karli! :mrgreen:

Are any of you nervous about eating around Christmas? I know you've all been on MF for a while and I was just wondering how tempting is it for you? Or is it easier since you have been on MF for a while now? I ordered mine Sat. night so hopefully it'll be processed today and here by the weekend.Very exited..CANT WAIT!!!

You are most welcome, Di :).

Debra, yes, sometimes I get a little nervous about xmas time eating. BUT, not that badly currently because I am feeling fairly firm on program again. For awhile I was very wishy washy and that concerned me. I couldn't really get back on the way the little voices tried to tell me I could : "just eat this today, you will just hop back on tomorrow and it will be as though nothing happened"... but, that started turning into an everyday occurance.

For me, knowing what I felt like before I started the program at all, and then, knowing what I felt like having been off the program after starting it and not finishing it... I would *MUCH* rather stay on program than have some little stupid fudge or cookie on my tastebuds for a moment.

Sometimes I am tempted to be tempted... LOL... but, then I just think of what I said right above this and the temptation goes away. Now, I don't want to shoot myself in the foot nor let down my "guard," but, it does get easier once you are firmly ON. Plus, we are all here to do it together and to help each other through the whole fiascal :).

Last night was a little bit more tempting for me than other times as my choir had a gathering after our final concert and there was *tons* of food and treats and pizza and wine. I wasn't really tempted by the foods and drinks at all, but more by the socialness of it all. I, at times, felt like I stood out. But then, that group was also very supportive and didn't make me feel that way at all.

I kept myself busy. I went and got food and wine for my husband and friends and so to other people, it looked like I might be dishing it up for myself. When the host offered me "more" wine (I didn't have wine but I did have a wine glass in my hand that had sparkling water in it at one point) I just said "Oh thanks but I have already had enough" and that was that.

Also, I kept thinking about all of my friends here on the forum and how many of you all will be in similar situations and that many of you all will be strong through it for yourselves and for all of us. I wanted to be strong for myself and for others here.

Anyway, you also can get through it. In the end, I realized that I didn't really miss out on much of anything at all. I still got to have some nice visits with many people while I felt good about my personal decisions at the same time (I wasn't distracted by thoughts about what I did eat and drink, or what I wanted to eat and drink -- I love this clarity of mind). As a matter of fact, I felt like others were missing out on what I was experiencing there... hee hee.

It's not always easy, but I think making the decision for better health and more directly, for me right now, making the decision to stay on program, is *always* worth it.

Okay, yesterday was challenging in that I was away most of the day and eating out and visiting parties and got a late start on my day so it was a little confusing eating schedule-wise, but, I got through it.

I was often thinking through what my program needed to be eating-wise because I was thrown off a little... but, I think it all worked out fine under the circumstances. No cheats and no sinking feelings to deal with in the morning.

However, I did weigh in at the same weight I had yesterday. That's okay though, because I feel like I was pretty successful dealing with the day yesterday and I am just celebrating my compliancy through it all.

8 -- chai latte
11 -- oatmeal
2 -- choco mint bar
5 -- L&G
7 -- mocha shake
10 -- beef stew
