i have rings that mean so much to me. one was my paternal grandmas engagement ring that i "inherited" (she died, I claimed it...) when she died. and the other was given to me as a child by my maternal grandmother. I resized paternal ring down when I got it (I wasn't that small, she was just, literally, big boned woman). I've chipped one of the diamonds and lost a tiny diamond chip. I then got the bigger one reset and replaced the chip. It's not quite the same ring, but it IS...

Maybe wear them on a necklace?

(((hugs))) Try not to be so hard on yourself... Which, I KNOW, is not easy.

I second the necklace idea. And the not being so hard on yourself. Punishing yourself by not wearing something you love is not going to help matters any. {{{hugs}}}

If you're using them as a means to encourage yourself to lose weight, then fine. But if you're just beating yourself up over it, then please stop. Fingers change sizes. Rings need resized. And even when we're at what we're told is a healty weight, that doesn't mean we weight the same was we did at 18 (maybe we do, maybe we don't.)
