Kind of a Weird NSV

Before my pregnancy, I had relatively thin hands...as thin of hands as anyone with a sturdy Dutch heritage can get! But my hands ballooned out during my pregnancy (I only gained 20 lbs the whole pregnancy) and my hands haven't gone down even though I've lost over 40 lbs from my pregnancy weight. I can't wear my wedding ring but refuse to have it resized for THIS size.

But TODAY, I was able to reach the bottom of a thin, tall coffee cup while washing it!! I was able to fit my hand all the way down to the bottom!!

This may seem like a silly thing to some, but I'm very conscious of my hands. I see them all day, every day. It's like a constant reminder of being overweight.

I know I have lost weight because my hands are thinner!! Woohoo!! I can't wait to get home and try on my wedding ring.

    Yes, my hands, feet and face are usually the first to start thinning out and then my neck.........

    I think it's great! I just was able to fit mine on comfortably yesterday too! I haven't been able to wear it almost the whole five years I've been married. I think it's Awesome! And my husband was really happy about this too. Which than kind of made me sad because I was wanting a new set for our anniversary. lol. Oh well, guess, I can find a better use for that money. Great job!

    Yay that's awesome! I love noticing all the little places where the weight FINALLY comes off!! For me, it's my legs...they stay fat after the rest of me (ahem - boobs) looks all scrawny. I was noticing this morning that they're looking a little smaller at last! :)

    ***SILLY POLICE ARRIVING

    There is NO SUCH thing as a silly-NSV!!!! Hell, I laughed at myself in the shower because I almost lost my wedding ring from washing my hands!!! It didnt hit me until I realized "WOW my hands shrunk!"
