<< I wore an outfit I would have never thought about

wearing. A garnet halter which showed a nice lode of clevage. And a black

skirt. I though still feel fat. I need some plastic surgery but just went

out and had a great time. I kept asking Bill, my boyfriend and longtime

partner. " Hey do I have something on my forehead? Why are people staring

at me? " When I finished asking the last question some young stud about age

22, msucle hard bodied, with hair he had to spend at least 2 hours on to

make look that natural, answered for Bill, " You are the most attractive

women here. " I looked at my slef int he women bathroom and I realized that

the young exotic women looking back att he mirror was me! " I had been

watching this women all night, and it waws me the whole time. I had kept

thinking to myself if only I could look like here. Hell I am her! >>

le, it is such a blessing to have such honesty shared. I recently went

to a concert and was wondering why in the world the woman behind me AND the

one two seats over kept looking at me. Everytime I turned around, I noticed

SOMEBODY staring at me! I kept checking my top to make sure I was still

covered and straps were not hanging out!!! LOL Hubby told me I am beautiful

and that is what they were looking at......nothing was wrong with me!! It is

soooooo hard to get used to this new me. I look in a store window and see a

reflection of skinny legs and think: I'll NEVER have legs like that!! AND

THEY ARE MINE!!! LOL I am finally catching up body image in my brain with

body image of reality. Thank Goodness!! And know what??? GO FOR EXOTIC!!

I have been shopping and buying things that I NEVER thought I would EVER be

able to wear!!! AND it feels sooooooo GREAT!! And to be able to chase AND

catch a 4-1/2 year old!!! Will the possibilities of our accomplishments ever

stop???? NOPE!!!!!
