You mean I'm not invisible?

I had a wow moment last night at school. Now, in general, I have a lot of self-confidence and being the only fat person in my MBA classes has never really bothered me (its so weird how everyone is so freakin's skinny!!). Anyway, for the most part, I am pretty invisible to my classmates. I have a few friends but I mostly keep to myself. And every time we start a new class, we have to set up project groups. And every every single quarter, I have had to go and ask people if I could join their group (no one ever asked me to join - you know, because I am invisible). But like I said, I am over that crap. I'm an adult now and school is a means to get what I want and I will get it, period. Still, it always amazed me how something so big could be invisible!! But I was. Anyway, last night was my first night of a new class and I was just sitting there at break checking my email and a guy came up and asked me if I would like to form a group with him. And not just any guy, a hot guy And I was like, "Are you talking to me?". And I guess he was. So at some point I seem to have crossed the invisible fence to visible land or something. It was cool. It made me feel pretty good about myself. Does anyone else feel like they were invisible? Although it is cool to be noticed and included, I think it is going to be very hard for me to get used to.

Hot boys payin attention ROCKS!! You GO girl!!!!!

Isn't that cool.

I do know what u mean LOL I got asked out twice and got whistled at today ,, i made sure no other female was getting the whistle u know guess that size 16 dress makes me look nice LOL LOL amazing what a few lbs does ,,,,, be well Lisa

Congrats on a size 16! I'm jealous

Jessica, I totally know where you are coming from. Even at 322 lbs, I was pretty confident, and I did get alot of stares because of my tattoos and piercings, but was often invisible (like at a gas station, grocery store, or just shopping in general). I have noticed that lately more people talk to me when I am out and about. I wasn't sure if it was extra confidence or losing 50 lbs, lol, but whatever, I'll take it where I can get it. And hot guys getting MBA's - almost as cool as hot slimming chicks like you getting MBA's!! Congrats! Inky

That's funny. When talking with friends I now refer to myself as an "investment property". Guys don't know what they're going to be missing. Gotta get in while the stock is low!! In a year, I'll be hot and have a really great job and I won't need them anymore!! HA!!!

Woohoooo....you go girl.......The invisible spray paint wore off you......Woohoooo....I am so happy for you...

It does make me smile....

Would you ever consider asking a heavy guy to start a project group? Just asking. No offense intended. I don't mean to rain on your parade. Enjoy your moment. You've worked hard for it. DD
