Default haha I got checked out today!!

OMG 4 different guys checked me out today AND it was 4 different instances and one of them even winked and held eye contact!! this hasnt happened to me for SUCH a long time and it felt really nice! For the first time in a long time I didnt feel invisible! And they were really cute, not like the homeless freak that stands at the corner shop and tries to give me a hug! good looking guys checked me out!!

If only I wasnt so clueless about guys and so surprised and still insecure, i could've smiled or something but I looked away and then felt like a total loser! But still pretty damn good.

anyway, just wanted to share. Ive been feeling so fat and unattractive for such a long time, you know? And i know its not nice to value my looks based on whehter I get looked at by men, but its just a nice change from having someone yell out that I am fat out of a passing car (and believe me, it's happened before).

So now, I just need to figure out how to not try and hide when someone smiles at me!

LMAO! Man oh man, can I relate! I'm trying to upgrade from the random dudes soliciting outside of places of business... -_-

Good for you girl! Just next time, smile back. You can do it.

That is so awesome! I know how you feel though, just the other day I was out for my daily walk and two guys were putting up a sign. They told me I was the first one to see the sign up ( I live in the country) and that I should take a picture of them. I laughed and said "well I can take a picture with my cell and email it to you, I carry it with me because I might see the fox again that I saw a few weeks ago" He then replied " I see a fox right now" OMG I wanted to become invisible but hey, it did make me smile.

Thanks everyone for your support!! I knew you'd understand.

Next time I am going to smile and hopefully it will look like a natural confident smile and not desperate or weird lol

You are right that we shouldn't allow men, or anyone else, to dictate how we feel about ourselves; however, it is impossible not to feel good! You're sending out those pheromones with each Kg you lose.

You are no longer that fat chick getting laughed at (been there). You are now the HOT chick getting looked at. Pat yourself on the back, give a coy smile & enjoy the power of your feminine wiles.
