I felt it coming on a few days ago but ignored it... sure enough a day later I woke up with a sore throat. So far, I've managed to rest and eat well enough that it's not progressed to more than a sore throat and some minor achiness.I can't believe all the compliments I've been getting lately... my confidence level is THROUGH THE ROOF. Last week when I went out to Chili's with my coworkers, one of them did "the sizzle". You know, where they put their finger to their tongue, put their finger next to you and make a sizzling noise. Oh my goodness, I blushed. Guys are actually paying attention to me now, and (psst, don't tell my boyfriend) I actually like it. It's nice not to be ignored for once. A guy I know on another forum saw my picture and told me "You're so beautiful, my monitor fainted!" Wowzers. I just can't believe it. What a difference 33 pounds makes!
