Teachamy 1,042 Posted May 23, 2014 I have been noticing lately that I am getting "checked out" by guys. In my car, walking down the street, in a store. I had forgotten that this happens to people. What once would have been a minor annoyance is now welcomed by the new sleeved me. Think it would be odd to thank random guys for looking at me?! 10 BlueMoon~T, ProudGrammy, Roo101769 and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted May 23, 2014 I was in the hospital a few weeks ago for 6 days and 3 men were giving me a lot of attention. One of the nurses pointed it out to me and she laughed her head off. I was totally annoyed...She said what do you expect..You look hot...I told her that they can bugger off and that I don't need that kind of attention.. She said sorry...men will be men...I looked at her and she shrugged her shoulders and said enjoy it while it lasts...It may end as fast as it came to you..Meanwhile it's all good! Okay so......ah! not used to that crap! @@Teachamy 2 jamilyne 102668 and Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roo101769 742 Posted May 23, 2014 Ok, I am a single gal so I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE the attention. Not gonna lie. Why do I love it? Because I finally believe they are looking at me as a desirable woman and not because I am fat!!! Granted, I am still overweight. But I am curvy and dress to look good, accentuate the positive. ( eliminate the negative) I have a new confidence in my appearance. Last night I was out with a group of girlfriends and I noticed being checked out a few times. It felt good because I know I was being judged as a woman and not as an obese person. ( if that makes sense) Just boosts the self esteem higher and fuels me to work harder to get to goal. The last time I was "thinner" I was in my early twenties. I was too young to appreciate the body I had. All I could do was be critical and ashamed I was heavier than the next person. ( I have been curvy all my life, even before I was obese) Now I am older and I have been to the other side of the mountain...Hell I WAS the mountain! It is so refreshing and fun to finally know that I LOOK GOOD! I have curves. I am not perfect. ( and I will never be a nudist because I am NOT that confident!!) But I KNOW persons of the opposite sex are taking note of me, see me as a human and a woman and not just another fat person taking up space. I LOVE IT!!! 7 Teachamy, MistyAnnMoon829, jamilyne 102668 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katcloudshepherd 630 Posted May 23, 2014 Hey y'all, I've noticed men are giving me those lingering glances now. I had forgotten what that was like. Now that I'm tall and not as "fluffy" as before--men are looking at me more and more. I also now am more concerned about how I look when I got out in public. When I was my Former Fluffier Self, (FFS), I didn't pay as much attention to make up and clothes in public. Don't get me wrong, I didn't go out in public as a complete mess but I'd often go without make-up and less dressed up. Now that I'm considered more attractive, I've been more attentive to my make-up and attire. I haven't quite reached the stage of wearing an evening gown to the grocery store --don't think I'd go quite THAT far.

Roo101769 742 Posted May 23, 2014 I do that too! Now that I am on my way I do tend to take more pride in my overall appearance. I have to wear a wig, so my hair is always on point. But I also do my make up well every day and dress a lot cuter. It is fun to take pride in it all now because we KNOW we look good!
