Pearls

A few years before I had wls, my husband bought me an expensive pearl necklace with expensive pearl errings.  So, I wore them only on special occassions because, frankly, they were almost too small and looked bad.  They looked closer to a choker than a necklace.  Also, I was always afraid that I would break them.  So, the talk about bones and such had me thinking about wearing a necklace and immediately thought of my pearls.  Well, yesterday I was having trouble fastening it on and hubby's eyes are too bad to fasten it for me, so I fastened it and put it over my head.  Imagine my surprise at that and that they are not only a necklace, but they are a necklace that hangs between my breasts.  They are really too big now, if a neclace can be too big.  But, I must admit that they sure look better hanging losely around my neck than they did fitting tightly against my chinS.

its amazing isnt it.  i used to buy nothing but 20 inch necklaces because everything else felt too tight.

now i can wear a 16 inch with plenty of room.  so i have lots of long necklaces now.

weight loss surgery is surely a trip , isnt it

hugs, jacki

I remember admiring other women and their necklaces and even their bracelets because I couldn't buy the bracelets to fit.  Now, they slide off my hands. LOL

LOL, you know a funny thing is I used to have to have people put my necklaces on for me, now I can do it myself, guess losing that extra chin and gaining back collar bones makes a difference ;)


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

It also makes a difference that our arms thin out too.

My favorite necklace is 20 inches and now its looking too long.
Neck bones who would have though we had them? I thought my extra chins were holding my head up. LOL

Have you noticed, or for me, my head and ears are looking out of place.
