unprepared emotionally for attention
Hi guys I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I was out of town since Thursday.
Ok well this is going to sound wierd but I went out to a couple of clubs on Friday night and I received alot of male attention. The last time I went out was in July a few lbs heavier, I got looks then, but Friday geez I was swatting them off like flies. It just felt really weird emotionally to deal with this. I liked it don't get me wrong, but I was nervous with the comments and the flirations. I like to go out and dance so I guess I have to put up with it. Just wanted to vent...thank you

PS I posted a couple of new pics on my profile
You are looking great and got some nice attention for it! Thank you for sharing your feelings about it, I don't have any social life to speak of so I won't be experiencing this anytime soon. The closest I come to those feelings is the weirdness of guys at work being friendlier than before but in that kind of setting I know it is just them being nice and also playful. Can't imagine how it must have been for you having to swat them off like flies...wow!
Have to go look at your pictures and then get to bed, I'm running late tonight as always.

well, i hate to break it to you, but considering how beautiful you look in your photo, you'll just have to get used to swatting guys away like flies all the time.
seriously, i experience the same thing when i joined the gym last week--forgot what a meat market it can be. it's flattering but also slightly creepy at the same time. of course, i'm single, so if the guy flirting is esp. cute, the bring it on, baby
anyway, it does get easier once you get used to it.
congrats on your amazing weight loss!

This might sound a little strange, but...
Even as a guy, I'm not used to the attention that I get now. I was checking-out at the grocery store on Saturday and got "chatted up" by a woman in line behind me. Didn't think much of it when the conversation started, but in the little time that we talked, she told me a tremendous amount about herself and as I was turning to leave, she handed me her card with her home number written on the back!!! Well, I was a Sailor in the Navy. So my immediate response was, WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!!! (if you want to know what that means, send me a message or ask a friend who was in the military). Anyway, today, I got an email from a good female friend of mine who said that she had gotten a call on Friday from a friend of hers who asked her if she had seen me lately. She said that her friend was VERY excited and impressed and asked if I was available. She also said her friend had other co-workers who had asked about me, too. Made me feel pretty good.
One of the important things to understand is that this kind of attention, since it's unusual for most of us, is NOT easy to deal with. Keep your head out of the clouds and your feet planted firmly on the ground and don't get swept up in the madness, and you'll be ok. Make sure that you value yourself as much in relationships as you do in your pursuit of weight loss and general health!
And, yes, I agree! You look marvelous, Erin.
Good Luck,
Steve
