When we have lost weight we treat ourselves better. Take more care- usuallly- of our appearance. We are happier and show it and therefore other people notice it.

I feel the same. I'm not even halfway done yet, but it's happening. I've got men hitting on me all the time. And these are people ive known all my life.I keep thinking in my head, you didn't turn to even look my way at my heaviest, like I'm going to turn to you as I lose.
