Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Sometimes I get so envious when I see how much weight everyone has lost. I started at 5'10 " 370 over 2 years ago and am now at 214, size 16. You may recall, last year two weeks before Christamas I proposed we go on a pre-holiday journal together. At that time I was 235. So that's 21 pounds, which is virtually stable despite my exercising 4-5 times a week vigorously and eating less than 100 calories per day. I have resigned myself to the possibility that my body will never get to the 150s range. I still feel big and I guess I am. (but I'm ok with it) Well, one bad effect of being overweight is that no one ever looked at me (in a good way) and I had no desire to look at anyone else. I had zero radar as far as the opposite sex. Gradually I have been getting noticed more and more, and by a better " class " of men. First it was the occassional car wash dude...yuck!! Then the newly arrived middle easterner at the liquor market. But lately, it moved up quite a notch. This of course had the opposite effect from making me feel attractive!! Today I got hit on by a guy I see around a lot who is really very good looking. And for the first time in years I felt that little stir of recognition that " Yeah baby, this is one looker of a dude! " I never even noticed if a playgirl centerfold pranced naked in front of me before! It's great to be able to wake up again. In so very many ways. And my hasbeen will be the lucky beneficiary!
