Are You Eye Candy Now?

So who is getting checked out more now that they have dropped some lbs? Getting hit on? Do you like the new attention?

I seem to have a noticed a few more "looks" but maybe that is just my increase in confidence helping my ego.

I feel like I've become invisible. But I'm putting it on my engagement ring lol. Still I remember I got so much attention at my thinnest. But I'm much happier now.

I didn't wear my wedding ring at my heaviest (didn't fit) and I never got any looks not wearing it I am sure. I wear it a bit more but not a whole lot of looks. But who really checks out men in their mid-40s?

Not sure! A triple pack twinkie or a piece of celery? Which one you lookin' at??

Mainly I think I get looks because I am so pasty white or I have a big booger hanging off my nose. But I'll pretend that it's because I'm in better shape. That sounds better.

Hahahahaha

People seem friendlier, buuut, I'm also in a much better mood now!

I'm pretty sure the only reason people look at me is because I do stuff like dance and mouth the words to the songs I'm listening to in between sets at the gym (I also do stuff like that when I take walks around town). I also get strange looks when I decide to walk to the store for stuff.

Ya, I think guys at work are creepin on me. Come quitting time when I schuck my Nomex they are peering around the corner snickering.

But, if I'm clothes shopping, I feel like a whale.

I had this discussion with my husband recently. He thinks that I am imaging things, but I am treated so much better! It is nonsensical and wrong, but people are kinder, more polite by far, and random strangers smile and approach me! I dont know that I would classify it as flirtatious, but it is a world of difference! I am in my 40's now, so kind of out of the flirty stages....
It is sad to know that, even though I am the exact same person, so many people never bothered to get to know "fat me"...

Here and there. Not a ton, but I don't have that vibe methinks.

I totally agree!!

Funny really men notice you but now my female colleagues are very 'off' with me now I've lost the weight. ...

jer1993

It's mad how different you're treated after losing 167 pounds!! People open doors for you instead of slamming them in your face! And walking down the street and only having good attention instead of people sniggering at you is the best feeling in the world!! Xx

I didn't notice more attention than usual, but then I suddenly start getting messages from my ex's and other guys who knew me "before", telling me what great shape I am in now. It's probably due to numerous gym pics I post on instagram

Eye candy? Not sure. Before and after shots. The second is a little easier to look at than the first... Lol

Eye candy? Me?

unrelentingminx

People at work have commented on my weight loss but since I'm still wearing the same size clothes (but baggier) I'm far from eye candy. I've always been hourglass curvy but my waist is tiny now and have been checked a couple of times when I'm wearing my closer fitting gym clothes.

wildflowerherbal

Totally. Even my ex husband who demanded I lose weight (right before I dumped his *kitten*) is now checking me out. Haha

I am training for a big race. I bike, swim and ride 6 days a week. I shave my legs once a week as well. Ladies, you know that reaction men give you when you catch them checking out your breasts? I caught a lady checking out my legs. I know she was checking them out cause she gave me that same reaction that men give ladies. It was funny. I work my *kitten* off to make those legs strong and efficient, it doesn't bother me one bit if folks check them out.
