    I once went to Staples to get school supplies for my kids. I took a shower, did my make-up and hair, and looked...well..acceptable. Once I got there, however, I was getting oggled left and right by men of all ages and women. It was like I was the hottest thing on the planet. Instantly my confidence was at 1000% and I walked a bit taller, smiled more...possibly rays of sunshine were beaming off my body. I was feelin' good! I got home and shared my Staples adventure with my daughter who looked at me with a mix of contempt and sadness and announced "Mom you have a sock static-clung across the back of your sweater".

    Kill-me-now.

    Lost 30# or so and have joined the world of the living.

    Men have suddenly discovered the amazingly sensual creature I am & I have my own theme music.
    It plays in my head where ever I go (don't judge me) :huh:

    Boys steal glances at me & older (ahem) men of a certain age just outright stare. Apparently, I'm quite the head turner :smokin: No surprise to me of course as I was always a head turning raven haired beauty, it's just that my secret is out now & it's 'red carpet' all the way baby.

    Being married kinda puts a damper on the fun this can be, soooo...there's that.

    Ladies...what do you do when you get elevator eyes, stares & strangely intent looks?..do you smile back?....glare?....find something incredibly interesting to fuss with?...what?...

    Excellent! :happy:
    What's your secret? I'd kill to get looked at like that! :smile:

    No one said a thing....but my teenager was quick to break my heart with her honesty. Teenagers are cool like that.

    So this is my very first post on MFP,,but you guys are FUNNY!!!! we need "like" buttons..the way I see it is,I worked freaking hard to get to the point of getting those looks,,I will take them and own them! with a smile! I havent been on MFP long,and lost about 45 lbs before finding this,I am married,happily! and the way I figure is most of those looks I get are about the same as they would look at a Shelby Mustang or a new Challenger..really I look at those cars the same way,even tho I love my Trailblazer..lol its still fun to look. Seriously,I think 90% of getting attention is YOUR attitide,I see lots of fullfigured women getting the same attention because of their confidence in themseleves.
