Guess what happened to me today? I was at the Metro station waiting on the next train when some guy waves at me. I'm polite so I tell him hi. He walks over to me telling me how beautiful I am and how much he loves red heads. I come back with, "So does my husband." He tells me he's sorry and have a wonderful day. I actually got hit on. What's even better is I didn't freak or panic like I used to before I started working on dealing with the sexual abuse. It was definitely a huge victory!!!!!!

    Congratulations Dee! It's flattering to know that others find you attractive, and who doesn't enjoy a redhead.

    Thanks guys. As good as it felt to be hit on, the best part for me was actually not freaking out. When I got down to my lowest weight before and guys started hitting on me, I freaked and retreated because of the sexual abuse. I now know that I can handle it. That should mean that when I get back down to those lower weights, I won't have that brick wall.
