The downside of losing weight??

Friday, December 19, 2008

Is there such a thing? Why on earth could losing weight be bad? I found out last night.

We were getting back into our car and I brushed the snow off the doors with my arm. I then shook my arm to get the snow off me and my enagement ring flew off my finger. Into the snow in a BK parking lot. OMG. I hardly wear my rings anymore because they are too big since I have lost weight. I felt like I should wear them since we were going out.

We searched for 30 minutes trying to find it with no luck. Even some nice people coming out of BK were helping for a bit. Trying to find a diamong in white gold in the snow?? Yeah, I think thats worse than a needle in a haystack. I know its just an object and it can be replaced. My marriage isn't going to fail because I don't have it and the world will not end. I just feel like I lost a piece of me in that parking lot.

I am PRAYING that if someone finds it they turn it in. I mean, a ring is something someone misses, not like a 5 spot that fell out of someone's pocket. I know that I would turn it in, but thats just me. Hopefully there are enough people out there like me.

My DH is there right now looking for it again. It was getting dark when it happened so maybe daylight and the bag of salt he just bought will help. Of all the days for it to fall off my finger, it has to be in a snow storm. Hey, nothing good came easy right??


****UPDATE****

He found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think thats the best gift I could have gotten this year! I seriously can't believe that he did it but wow! He is an amazing man!! Woohoooooo!!! Off to the jewlery store now!

    WoW....I'm glad you've found it AND given to the jewlery story for tightening. Mine was saved from the thieves , who took all the other jewels away- as I had brought it to the Jewlery's to clean it, so I know how you're feeling emoticon

    Back in 1940's my mom and dad were at a picnic in the parks/woods. All the women got to talking and heard that milk will clean a diamond. They all put their rings in a glass of milk and left it on the table. A while later my dad came along and cleared the table and emptied the milk by flinging it way out into the high weeds and brush. He never heard the end of that one.

    Oh my gosh! Congratulations on your weight loss, but I am SO sorry you have lost your ring. I have nightmares that I am going to lose mine. Picture a nice warm, spring day and driving along with the window down. You are tapping your fingers to the music when suddenly your ring flies off and disappears. I need to get a ring snugger or go and get mine sized.

BEST OF LUCK ON FINDING YOUR RING! I'M HOPING YOUR HUSBAND AND HIS BAG OF SALT HAVE DONE WONDERS AND FOUND IT ALREADY!!!

    Oh man, I'm so sorry you lost your ring! I sure hope your hubby finds it. That is a Spark People success story & Snow Storm story all wrapped up in to one! Maybe when the roads get better (and he finds it) you can take the ring in and have it sized....that would be a great reward for all your hard work!

    I believe what you said, nothing good comes easy. I truly hope to God your husband finds your diamond ring. I would be mortified if mine fell off...but you never know, life is like that, full of surprises. Call your insurance guy and tell him you lost your ring.
