I feel girly!!! Do you?

Hello my family, For the last 2 weeks I have been feeling sooo girly. I don't know what is going on! Even when I was only 20lb overweight I was such a tomboy! This last week I went and bought 4 pair of high heels with the little stiletto heel, only about 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches high but heels none the less (which by the way I have no idea how to walk in). I also went out and had my makeup done and bought a bunch of new make up from Laura Mercier this weekend. A new strapless bra so that I can wear spaghetti strap tops. I have given my self a facial which I have never done before and just had to get my hair cut for which I also had to go get some new sparkly hair clips for. I think that I have lost my mind, I don't know who I am any more, I suspect I have been abducted by aliens! Anyone else out there experienceing this phenomamon? Leslie

Slowly but surely I'm getting back into "girl" mode. I used to live in high heels but gave them up quite awhile ago. Now I find myself back in them and enjoying them immensely. Boy when I eventually get under 200, I can see major girly girl stuff in my future! Dina

I am a big ole gurly gurl!!!!!! There is nothing that I love more than being a lady! I have not always felt this way though. Like you it is happening more as the weight comes off. I love to wear dresses now...why? I love to wear heels...why? I love to make my face up and put on jewlery to go to the store or just anywhere. I love this so much now because the more feminine I feel; the more motivated I am to lose more weight and be sexier. Besides...it is the one thing that we can do that men can't.

I'M 56 YRS. YOUNG !!!!! WHEN I HAD THE SURGERY, I SAID I'M NOT DOING THIS TO GET PRETTY, I'M DOING IT FOR MY HEALTH , WHICH WAS TRUE. BUT SUNDAY I WORE 3" RED HEELS AND HUGE RED HOOP EAR RINGS AND A DRESS WITH BIG RED FLOWERS AND LITTLE YELLOW FLOWERS AND BIG GREEN LEAVES ON A BLUE BACK GROUND TO CHURCH. MY HUSBAND SAID I WAS TOO FLASHY, I SAID GET USED TO IT!!! I HAVE FELT LIKE AN OLD WOMAN FOR 25 YEARS BUT HONEY I NOW FEEL LIKE A 25 YEAR OLD. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS FEELING WILL LAST, BUT I'M GOING TO ENJOY IT AS LONG AS IT DOES !!! SO TO ALL YOU REALLY YOUNG GIRLS , GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!! JUDY

I cut my hair too! I am in that little sexy green dress. It is still just a little tight and will fit so well by Aug 8th for the dreaded wedding. How did you do your hair? Mine is short and sassy and looks so Stepford Wives. I also have a "new "picture. It is the one from May. I will put up a new one in the little green dress! We so rock!

I don't know if it is so much "feeling girly" but maybe just careing more in general how you look. I used to love clothes & jewelry & such & after gaining all the weight you just don't want the attention. I find that now I am looking back on all those things I used to love & enjoying them again.

Hey Leslie, I am finding that I too am caring for my appearance more. I am not wearing any heels, I am more a birkenstock sandle kinda gal living in the high rocky mountains and have always wore makeup but I am caring for face, body, hair more as well as choosing jewerly daily and such. Wow, I am so jealous about your strapless bra and wearing spaghetti strap tops...my arms are flabby and I cannot...but one day I hope to again! I am thrilled you are moving into this new area! One of the victories of this surgery ay! Blessings to you Sue

YES i am a girly girl!!! Check out my profile... The old pic was something i would wear everywhere... now i dress like to new pic all the time! -kim -114

Leslie, I used to dress as drab and unflashy as possible so I didn't draw attention to myself. I just didn't want people to notice me. These days, I'm wearing jewelry, dressing more feminine and even wearing white. I NEVER wore white before. My underwear is sexier and I'm wearing heels. As I get thinner and feel better about myself, I don't mind people looking at me. Connie
