Chicago

I am so looking forward to this trip! It won't be long.

Me too!  I can't wait - we are going to have a blast!  

A week from tomorrow for me! We are going on Thursday to do a little shopping etc.....See you all when you get there!

I'm really excited about going to Chicago too.  Can't wait.  I'm thinking about wearing my leather pants and a sexy top to the Monte Carlo night.  I never get to wear them anywhere.  I feel like they just don't suit the occasion.  What do I know about leather?  LOL I never owned any before.  I also have a really cute sundress I might wear.  Never owned one of these either or had the desire to wear one.  I don't consider myself fashion conscious.  Fashion means a whole different thing to me now that I'm thin and have lost all this weight.  I struggle with that alot.  Maybe because I'm single and I don't want to send the wrong message to men.  But yet I feel so wonderful about what I've accomplished and have so much more confidence from within, but........well, maybe I don't have the confidence??  How long does it take?

I'm not saying I wear ho type stuff but I don't want to be matronly either.  I feel uncomfortable "exposing" my bare arms for pete sake.  I have covered them up for so many years.  And now I have new twin girls to boot.  I don't expose thembut men seem to notice nice boobs for some reason regardless of what I wear.  Come on guys, jump in here and help me understand this.  LOL  I need a man's perspective.

I'll wear jeans, T's, and hoodies the rest of the time.  I heard it will be cold in the hotel.  But I'm cold everywhere I go.

I wore my sundress last summer to a WLS support mtg.  When I walked in, I felt like eveyone was staring at me!  I wondered if the back of it was stuck in my underwear or something.  I don't want people to think that I'm showing off, but I like to wear cute, fun things because I never could do that before.  One lady told me the next day that she really thought it was very cute on me BUT that her husband did comment privately to her about my sexy boobs.  Not that I was exposing them but he still noticed. 

Kat, you wanted a man's opinion so here it goes !  I think I speak for most men, we like boobs, doesn't matter the dynamics, we just like boobs, lol !!!!!

As to how you dress, there's nothing wrong in my opinion for a lady to get fixed up and show the amount of skin that she feels comfortable showing with the attire she wants to show it off.  The man hope's you feel really comfortable, lol !!!!!!  But really you ladies and heck even us fellas are not only on this journey to get healthy but we want to look good in our smaller clothes.  We want our spouse, significant other, or just someone that notices you to say wow, you look very nice, and so on !!!!!

OK Robert, Keith, Duane, and any other guy I'm forgetting it's your turn, help a brother out here !!!!!
