I went to the beach last week for a conference and things went pretty well. I was able to work out 4 days last week and I did pretty well eating with only a few cheats. I did drink too much alcohol and I know those are empty calories but I had a good time and I even lost a little weight.

 

Ok so here is the thing that happened that is kind of weird. I could be wrong....It has been a while.....but I think that one of the docs was flirting with me. Yeah, I know! WEIRD!

 

He was a McCutey! I DID tell him I was married and talked about what a great guy DH is. Expecially after he asked me if I was staying over an extra night. I asked if he had family (I promise I was wondering if he had kids, you know small talk). He must have taken it wrong because he told me he was divorced. I asked "No kids?" He said yes and I asked him if he didn't consider them family. He said he thought maybe that wasn't the question.

 

I know I have been married a long time (almost 16 years) but how many different reasons can a guy find to touch you. Geesh! My arm, shoulder, leg, back and that was sitting at a table with 8 other people having a nice....not too personal conversation. I have to admit (but not to my hubby) that it was very flattering,(probablly because he was so damn cute and well put together....give me a break I'm married not blind) but it was also a little strange to be back into that group of the population that has to worry about some random guy flirting with her.

 

My general goal for quite some time has been simply to blend in and not be noticed as the "big lady walking my way" or "sitting next to me." I have wanted to feel invisible, or that I look like the average person walking down the street. I have just begun to feel that way. I don't have to use a "professional persona" as my shield at business trips, but I guess now I have to see what happens when my real personality is out there in front of everyone. That is kind of scarey. I don't even know if I can let anyone really get to know me the "real" me.

 

I am starting to wonder who that is....

That is the cutest blog. It is weird to have someone flirting with you again. I used to be a big blirt and then I was just big. It's really nice to have someone pay attention to you - as long as they are not too forward. Enjoy the experience!!!

OK, the best NSV ever LOL!!! Holy Cow girl...and a McCutey to boot (he was so hoping to be a McSteamy). That should boost your self-image over the moon! -BG

You know who you are and dont let losing weight change that. So many women have lost weight and their minds at the same time. Yes its nice to have a good looking man flirt as long as you know where home is as long as you remember where the real love is. Good luck and keep up the good work. Michelle

your pics are great. I agree with mymy "remember where the real love is." It is fun to have someone flirt a little, but IMHO he should have stopped when you told him about your hubby. Good luck with the rest of your journey.
