Reply #35: Being big boned

[buckettgirl]

isn't an excuse, it simply is physiological truth. One odd thing that I think of sometimes is how big my fingers are. I have a friend of weighs about as much as I do, but is much shorter than me, and small boned... she has this huge body and then tiny fingers! She can wear like a size 7 ring on her ring finger. I, on the otherhand, have big bones and my wedding band had to be sized up (only a half size) to an 11. The funny thing is, no matter what my weight has been, my fingers have always been huge. Only since I have hit this all time high weight have my fingers actually gotten slightly bigger. I always thought it was odd to think that way of my fingers... but I guess it is kind of a good way to compare big and small boned/framed people.
