Getting noticed

Ok, I'm just a little curious how many others are starting to experience a little extra attention from the opposite sex? I have only lost 35 lbs to date but the men are staring to notice me more.

It could be because my massive 42 G's are no longer blending in with my belly. ha ha ha

Let me know if you are having the same happen to you.

DH and I discussed this - but only because I saw this thread and asked him. He said he noticed men eyeing me etc (how anyone can detect a shape under down-filled jackets etc is beyond me though:rolleyes:). Anyway, I was completely unaware of the looks, smiles, subtle come on's when he isn't around me in a store etc..I still am. DH says that as long as he has known me (and confirmed by my ex - I just had to ask to confirm) I never have been aware of appreciative looks etc. I just think everyone is friendly and talks to strangers - I do!

I still have a ways to go yet in weight loss....maybe my awareness of other people's attention will come with that!

THERE IS A DOWNSIDE TO THIS!! While it is flattering to get positive attention, sometimes the attention is not so positive. I recieved an anonymous email this week from a "secret admirer" that was very off color. Almost like a what a stalker would write. It was creepy and gross. He went into detail about writing my name on his body, and him wanting to guess who he is. He wants me to come to him.... Ha! Not in this century!!! It was very unnerving, and if I hear from him again, I'm going to report it.

That is very alarming. I would make sure to trusted family and friends just in case something weider happens. Foward the e-mails to other people, so that everyone knows there is someone stalking you. That is just very creepy.

Yes I get hit on all the time now ...even while buying a ept test at walmart...classy..

Having seen your recent pics, who could blame them? Now, while buying an ept test may be pushing the limits of good taste, I'll admit. But, that is assuming any man has common sense around hot women.;)

I bet that a big part of this (not that you ladies don't look great) is everyone's improved confidence. Everyone that is losing weight and feeling better about themselves is probably putting out completely different vibes than when you were unhappy with where you were.

That's just a thought though ;)
