How do I deal with sexual attention? I've never had it.

My entire life, I've been heavy. I never went out on a date or had any "normal" boyfriend/girlfriend relationships growing up. I met my husband non-traditionally, so we didn't actually meet until we had talked for months over the phone. We have been married for 5 years now and love each other so much. Problem is, now that I'm losing weight, I'm noticing that I'm more aware of my sexuality than ever before. I notice men looking at me and noticing my new body. I have never had to deal with this unwanted attention before. Any ideas on adjusting to the new pressures? I don't want to have my marriage break up like so many do after one person has surgery.
