Finally got up the courage today to drop off my wedding and engagement rings to get fixed even though I have so much anxiety leaving them with a jeweler, more an embarrassment issue than trust issue. (I had cut my rings off last summer prior to having surgery.) The jeweler said I did a better job cutting them than the hospital would have so that was a good thing. But he could have cut them for me if I went there and saved me on the damage and big repairs for the mess I made. I never would have, I was embarrassed enough to do it at home. $400 for the repair will convince me to never try that trick again, plus I was happy to tell them I had lost over 100lbs since doing that.
$400 is more than I expected it would cost but since I don't have to go clothes shopping now, I balanced it out. I am wearing a size **16** jeans from my closet today, do you know how big a deal that is???!!! I wore them with a sweatshirt and tanktop so the waist was generously covered but seriously, a **16**!!! I was frustrated with my small loss last week (only 1.8lbs) so this NSV made my whole week!!
I'm so excited, I want to wear the jeans 24 hours now! And next week when I get my rings back I will be so happy to be able to wear them again and feel like a total normal person. And I can junk this ring I have been wearing from Overstock that keeps turning my finger green.
Happy happy day!
