I had to stop wearing them because my fingers just got too fat and some days the rings would make my finger swell up like I'd put a tourniquet around it. So, I put them aside. Every couple of days since I started MF, I try again. And if they get stuck just beyond the knuckle, I stop. It makes me sad. Super sad. So, I drink more water and I watch the scale go down. And still, my rings don't fit.
I've slowly watched the indentation in my finger fade. It hardly looks like I ever wore a wedding ring. I've always had a ring to wear on that finger, even before I was married, I used to wear dinner rings there. None of them fit any more. And the indent that used to be natural after the knuckle is gone.
So, while I am super excited to not experience a migraine and super excited to not have cramps that cause me to miss work (both attributable to the higher protein diet of MF), these are not the NSV I long for.
I know that if I stick to this plan, my rings will fit again. And I know that if I stick to this plan, they will eventually have to be resized down. But for now, all I want is to be able to wear them again. Especially for the holidays...
