Ok, I had a weird day, so I thought I would share.

As most of you know I live in Portugal so fat people are a bit of a wonder here......however, I have noticed a lot more obese people in the last year or two. With that being said......I have probably put on a few more pounds recently, I guess since I found out about the band and since I'm on the list for surgery, I have kinda let myself go, eating things I usually restrict myself from. (I have to restrict myself all the time just to maintain my weight) but I'm up to 250 now from 225. (pretty much over the course of a year or so)

Right well, today I went to the mall with my husband, a totally normal thing, I go to that mall all the time, by myself, with friends, etc. But it seemed like no matter where we went today, people were staring at me. On the escalator, in the hall, at the restaurant, in the electronics store. I know that sounds paranoid, and I'm not usually very aware of other people around me...but geez... I stared eye to eye with at least 4 different people who were staring at me....they didn't even have the decency to look away. I looked at my hubby and asked him if there was something on my face, or something on my clothes and he said no (being charming as ever he said that people can't help but stare at pretty things) so I'm sitting here wondering what in the hell was going on today....can it be that the little difference in gained weight has made me soooooo big that people are starting at me now??? Or am I just paranoid? :paranoid

I think your just being paranoid. Bet those people are thinking the same thing you are..... WOW, what is that woman looking at...is there something green in my teeth, do I have a third eye? Are you sure your not staring at them? LOL

Take a deep breath, relax and don't let others bother you.

Oh and your DH sounds like a great guy.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

It's a joke.

Sounds like you have an awesome husband, congratulations. (Me too!)

I think its your whiskers. Or maybe the cute little pink nose you have. Oh wait, maybe they want you to lick them with your scratchy tongue?

Who knows, all people are wierd. I guess that include me too then huh?

Jenna, I was thinking it was her furry face.

I know of a really good place that does laser hair removal... LOL

Maybe it was the clothes you had on???

I know I'm being silly, I guess it was just one of those days were I decide the world is against me....:loco:

That's something I can say about my hubby, he always has a nice compliment for me....almost every day he tells me how beautiful I am...I know I'm lucky for that.....of course he evens the score by acting like a big 'ol baby most of the time...... so we are on even ground. Today he actually picked out his own clothes and he wanted me to tell him what a good boy he was for picking out a matching outfit!! :bounce: hehe...gotta love him though.....

Maybe you gotta PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR more!!!

I found the opposite ---the bigger I got the more invisible I got !!!:phanvan

Kat, the next time your out and about with your DH....keep your eyes focused on him and keep smiling, you'll never notice anyone else. Besides, it will make others think he's really good in bed

hehehe......... I thought maybe it was my outfit, but it was just jeans and a baggy t shirt...normal stuff.... i dunno i think i was being weird....any way....ill try the make people think hes good in bed stuff next time
