So, I had a girls night out this past friday, and I had an awesome time. And, with the exceptions of being out for the first time in months and getting to hang with my girls, I am crediting my awesome time to my new found confidence with those 43 pounds gone. I got myself all dolled up-did my makeup, cute outfit, a pair of boots. And I felt pretty awesome when I finished getting ready. So we get to the club, and i go outside to the patio with hone of my friends because the weather is awesome, you can hear way better, and my friend wanted a smoke. Now, normally when we go out, it the guys that talk to her, hit on her and what-not, and generally tend to-well, not ignore me, but you know the feeling. This time they were talking to both of us. We ended up talking to these guys off and on thru out the night. My friend and I ended up staying outside for most of the night. We ended up talking with 2 other girls, and I got hit on by one! Ego boost starting for me, because she was this tiny little blond. With the body I wish I had. While we were talking to these girls, another girl came up thet knew them, and she hit on me too. *shock* A couple hours later, I was coming back from the bathroom with the blond, and we were headed back outside, and we got stopped by this guy at the door. He came out with us, and to my shock, started flirting with me, not the blond. My friend and I ended up hanging with him for the rest of the rest of the night, and giving him a ride to his hotel room because his friends had left him.(He lives 1-2 hours away from where we were at) And he asked for my numbers, then called my phone so that I had his :laugh:

To think, what a difference that 4 months can make. Bring on the rest of the weight loss(and hopefully a call or text from him:wink2:)

I personally believe that the getting hit on had more to do with your new found confidence than your actual, awesome weight loss.

That being said... YAY for 43 pounds gone! Way to go!!!! Congratulations on the new you and the new confidence!

Congratulations on your new found confidence and weight loss.

WAY TO GO ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!

I've lost about 65lbs since my surgery in June '09 and I know EXACTLY what new found confidence feels like. I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend's sister this past Saturday. The night before the party, my friend and I went out shopping for something to wear to the party. I wore a shirt that a year ago, I would never have dreamed of wearing (let alone it being a size 1X instead of a 3X and I could've even worn an XL). I also wore heels for the first time in years (1.5"-2"). I didn't know a soul at this party except my friend, but had the confidence to go up and introduce myself to a room of complete strangers. Normally, I would have found a chair in the corner and just sat their people-watching.

I LOVE MY BAND!!

Wohooo you go girl ...... i know exactly what you talking about , its an awesome feeling and thats what keeps you going too
