I feel attractive again



Recommended Posts

I got all dressed up the other night to go to a xmas party and men at the party were flirting with me. It felt great. I have been invisible for the last three years at least. At least that is how i felt. Now i feel attractive again. I may be 54, but i am still very much alive, and now i feel that way. I am so..... glad i got this band. Who knows i might even start dating again. Never too late!!! Donna

Good for you...it feels great getting attention, doesn't it? My husband bought me a robe and a coat for Christmas that I have to take back because they are too big. He said..."I didn't realize that you were shrinking that much". It's kind of funny...he seems me everyday so I don't think that he realizes, but others see me and are amazed. I love my band. I love losing weight and I love the attention...I think that you should head back into the dating world...why not????

You were always attractive....It is the fact that you feel it again that draws the attention!!! So much of this is the way we feel about ourselves! Good for you, you should date and have fun....you worked hard for this, you might as well enjoy it!!!!!

Excellent Donna! Of course you can start dating again. You don't have to worry about raising small children... It's all about you! Have fun!

That is such a great feeling and I can relate. I went to a graduation party a month ago, and men were flirting with me, in fact there was one doctor who was at the hospital at the time of my surgery and I remember seing him.... we are dating now, and it feels so great!!!!!!

DonHoll1- It is so nice to noticed again by the opposite sex, isn't it? Even old married gals like me appreciate compliments and flirting. It keeps us young.

I went to California in September to visit my nephew and my Mom and I went to his school and talked to his principal about his studies, etc. We talked for over two hours to this man (he was around my age) and at one point he asked what I did and I made some comment on my job and I said something like "Well, in my line of work you have to be something-or-other..." and he looked at me and smiled and said, "....and beautiful too!" and I tell you I nearly fell out of my chair!!!! (Damn, Mom didn't have her ears in and missed the comment!) Talk about an ego boost! I wish everyone realized what a boost little comments can make in a person's life! I think that's one that is going to stick with me for years!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
