    Both dresses look great on you.

    As far as the cell phone thing....

    Take some sexy photos of yourself and save them for when he pulls out his cell.
    Then start texting him the photos every 5 min.
    You'll get his attention again. :)

    Both are nice. 2 is the best. This woman quoted above is a genius.

    It doesn't matter what you wear......If he brings his cell phone with him he is going to be checking it. If it's that important to you ask that he leave it at home.

    Girl so not sure you want my opinon... but I really like 2! if it doens't keep him off his phone, pull out yours and catch a cab to your favorite club and go dancing girl!!! Let him have a date with his cell! You have done an amazing job and deserve to have it recognized by the one you love most!!! Good luck, let us know which one you choose and if it works at keeping that cell in his pocket.

    But, I have to be honest here. How much attention he pays to you versus how much he pays to your phone will be primarily determined by how you act. Right or wrong, that's how it's gonna be.

    Hey Tricia. You look stunning in both, but I love the first dress.
    Bella gurl!

    So the hubby and I are going out this weekend without the babies for the first time in a year. I would very much like him to leave his cell phone in his pocket. Now I know some of you are going to say "Well then just ask him to stay off of his cell phone". I am female though and what I really want is not just for him to put the cell phone away, I want him to want to look at me instead of his cell phone. With that in mind: Which of these dresses should I wear? Tight and cleavage showing or kinda flowing at the bottom to tempt him with easier access?

    After reading your post and the comments that followed I was interested in your story so I went to your page and followed your link to the Huffington post article. I can sympathize with being the "ugly one" among syblings, but rest assured you were never ugly. Still we carried those little hurts around with us like little scarlet letters forever. I'm getting close to my goal weight now too and little things like being cold (I live in Georgia) and not having the seatbelt cut into you are those little unexpected side effects of being thinner.

    You describe your husband as "wonderful" and I sure he is. He obviously loved you at your original weight and I'm sure he still loves you now. You spent a lot of time recently focused on yourself and on your children, but now is the time to refocus on your relationship. He may have felt left out of the process you went through (that's how my girlfriend feels sometimes), or perhaps he doesn't fully understand why you felt you needed to make this change. If he feels disconnected from you a little then he may use his phone as a way to distract himself from that fact when the two of you are alone. Heck, It's been a year so may he's just out of practice!

    As far as the dress goes, it doesn't matter which one you wear because he'll think you are beautiful in either one. All you have to do is remind him that you're still the same woman he fell in love with. That eye contact you talk about wanting? Make sure you get it from him and when he does just smile. It will all come back to him. Don't force him to give up his phone, make him want to.

    Have fun!

    I've done that exactly twice. My girlfriend told me about myself and I quit. Since then, I realized meals and quality time are exactly that. My girl is way more important then anything my phone has to offer, no matter WHAT she is wearing. It's not the clothes that keep my attention.

    I didn't even realize I was doing it. I was logging my food here, facebooking and such. Maybe he just does it. You need to tell him.

    So, you don't want to have to tell him, you want him to just do it automatically, right? This is why men and women don't understand each other. Lol. Just tell him, and he'll leave it at home or something. If you don't say anything, it's just a night out. He's going to pull out the phone. Then, youll be upset or disappointed. He wont know whats wrong and youll be seething because he cant figure it out. Lol. Trust me. Tell him.

    Oh, and I like #2.

    Everything this man just said.

    ^Exactly, no sense playing games, especially with your husband^

    sorry i was looking at my phone.

    hahahahaha. so funny wolf. aaaaaaaaaaand he's back.

    This thread is funny. The votes are like 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 back and forth like a tennis tournament.

    You didn't ask for ladies votes or else I'd say wear the second dress and with a push up bra and highlighter contour make up on your cleavage and when he is mesmerized with that walk straight up to him and stick your hand in his pants and TAKE THAT cell phone away from him turn it off, and place it sweetly back in his pocket. Problem solved.

    ETA: "finger ahahaha. do you have to let it linger, let it linger, lalalala. " cardigans? sixpence? name that tune.

    I have 6 boys. That is the only place in the house where I stand a chance at enough privacy to take a picture without anyone photo bombing me. :tongue:

    You look great (A) and both look great on you (B) but, that said, I'd say go with #2.

    You can also tell him to leave the phone in the car/at home/in your purse and tell him dress #2 is his reward for being a good boy. ;)
