I have a Question for everyone.

Donna, You are so right. I notice a big difference in people. They now treat me like a person. They speak. I have also had more men trying to talk to me. I dont need that because I am married. But it is so flattering. I love the attention. I think we desire that attention now that we look better. I think I crave the attention because I never got it before. and when I get the attention I feel like I am attractive. And feel really reall good about myself. after feeling so low about myself for so many years. I am entitlled to feel this way. Hugs Barb

Hi Barb, how are you today?? Yeah, I've gotten a little bit more attention from the male population (but as we've both said, we're flirts, so that's okay!!). I take a salsa dancing class on Friday nights (my husband didn't want to go) and I've noticed that more men than I would have thought pick me to dance with. Now see, that's another area. When I weighed almost 300 there was no way I would take a dance class, but now I signed up and just strut my little body out there and salsa away!! You're right -we deserve it! Look out world!! love donna

Donna, Wow that would be a blast. Dancing is so romantic. I love the dancing with the stars. Donna That is the best excercise also. Shake those hips. Also I noticed the young men like the older woman. LOL Hugs Barb

Ive lost 97 lbs and still have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I dont always see it when i look in the mirror. Now 97 lbs is alot of weight you would think i could see that. I know part of the problem is i didnt ever see myself as heavy as i was either so as long as i feel healthier im not too worried about it. TammyO

97 pounds!!! You go girlfriend!!! Wow - I am so impressed. I try not to compare myself to others because I am a slow loser, but wow -- you are my idol!!! donna

I am sooo glad to hear everyone feels the same way..thanks for all the posts. you are all great...

I started out at 247 and I weight 183 now..people at work say your melting away and in my mind I am thinking I am so fat still, sometimes I said well yea I guess so..and they say you ARE!! "Obivously you haven't looked into a long mirror because you are so small." According to my drs I still have another 50 lbs to lose so I still feel fat. I am having a hard time expressing that I am small because I do still feel like I weigh over 200 lbs. So I know exactly how you feel.

I've lost 127 pounds total. My doc says I only need to lose 10 more, but I'd like to lose 25, I think. I still feel fat, though. I feel like a total and complete imposter shopping in the normal size clothes section. It's like I'm waiting for a salesperson to come and tell me I'll never fit into those clothes. Somebody called me tiny the other day. I didn't know how to react to that. I do love to go dancing, though.
