I’ve been sharing some of my weightloss/life style changes here on the blog so I thought I’d give a little update.
Let me start by saying, this week, I’m feeling a little ‘naked’. I had to remove my rings. They were literally falling off my fingers.

I bought some ring ‘snuggies’, which were not worth the 7.00 I paid. One just disappeared off my ring. I thought to myself, “lovely, next my ring will just disappear off my finger!”
This, of course, is probably nothing I should really complain about.
Last spring I began with cutting out 2/3’rds of my coffee intake. Not really for the coffee, I actually don’t consider coffee unhealthy. It was the cream and sugar I added to each coffee that was slowly ‘killing’ me.
Since then, I lost 10 pounds quite easily, just from that step.
Now, I’m onto a much more ‘harsh’ program. I’ve had to cut out all fats, sugars, and starches from my diet. It’s only temporarily, but it’s strict, and really not so fun.
However, I’ve lost another 14 pounds and I will happily (although very embarrassingly) admit that I’ve now gone from ‘mildly obese’ to just ‘overweight’.
I’m getting there.
So I guess I’ll suck it up and put up with my fingers feeling naked.
And yes, I do realize I have very large hands for a woman. I have my father’s hands. Not tiny little hands, but working hands, and I’m actually quite proud of them. However, they used to be slender hands, even if large. I’ll get those slender hands back yet. And when I do, I’ll get my rings re-sized because they’ll be staying that way!
Oh that is fantastic!! Not that your rings are slipping off but the gradual weight loss *grin*. I did the same cutting out soda completely and easily lost nearly 10 pounds as well and I’ve slowly been cutting sugars and fats but it truly is a lifestyle change isn’t it. I’ve done the yoyo dieting for years and always ended up gaining back what I lost and this time I’m doing it slow and steady and I don’t care that it’s moving turtle pace because I’ve made myself a promise that I’m never ever going to weigh this much again! Hugs 🙂
What an awesome feeling! I’m so happy for you 🙂
