Butter - the first time I was pregnant, the doctor I worked for noticed that my hands were really swelling up. We had butter in the fridge, so he worked it off for me. Another time, I think I had gained so much weight that I had to go to a jewelers to have it cut off. It was repaired so nicley that you can't tell it was ever cut off. I wore a "sizer" on it for several years and have had it sized down too. It looks darn good!
