    My boyfriend makes me feel sexy. I remember when I was sick as a dog with a sinus infection, laying in bed with sweats and no make up on, pigging out on stouffer's mac and cheese - he looked at me with this weird smile all turned on like he couldn't wait to get his hands on me. It just made me realize that sometimes we don't have to try to be sexy - someone somewhere will always see us for what we really are inside: SEXY. :wink:

    Ladies, being sexy has nothing to do with the way you look.

    It is all in the way you act and feel about yourself.

    Honestly. The men will agree with me here.

    Yes! I do feel a LOT sexier now but even when I was at my heaviest and was feeling realy down on myself I still did little things for myself so that I could feel good about myself (getting my nails and hair done etc). AND a lot of it has to do with the vibe you give off. If your always depressed etc then thats definitely gonna come out.

    Don't know if this one is just for the females, but I always feel sexy. I don't feel that way because of anything related to me physically, but simply because I can. Why not? I'm the only me in the world and I'll be damned if I call myself trash. Not gonna do it!

    You win best attitude award in this thread. I try to feel like this, because I know this is exactly how everyone should feel. I don't always succeed, though. I am getting some of my old, go to hell if you don't like it confidence back, though. That's a start.

    Most definitely! I spent most of my teens and early twenties feeling like I didn't deserve anything good in life. This was based purely on how I looked. Over the last few years I have learned to love and accept myself. See, feeling/being sexy is not about what's on the outside. It's about what you look like in the inside. I woke up one morning, looked at myself in the mirror and instead of looking fr negatives, all I saw were the things that made me beautiful, to me. That gives me power. And the fact that I've empowered myself , makes me damn sexy!!!!

    I have my good days where I feel sexy and I have my days where I feel like a blob (more often than sexy), it's like a rollercoaster really. lol. I feel much better about myself after I work out and have a good day of eating. On my "sexy" days I dress much more feminine and I like to be in something cute for my husband (we don't have kids) in and out of the house. My self-confidence is much better than it was, but saying I feel sexy all the time is not something I think I will ever do.

    I totally agree with you that 'sexy' is an attitude. But, Madison Avenue messes with that, by making you think you need all the trappings of 'sexy': the lacy underwear, proper push-up bras, perfume, clothing, heels, makeup, etc. And most of us buy it hook, line and sinker. Most men I have talked to about this say that vibrant good health and fitness is the ultimate 'sexy.' Maybe some of them can add to this discussion.
    My wife is just not attracted to unfit guys, and it has nothing to do with Madison Avenue.
    Likewise, if she were to get fat, I just would not find that sexy but hideous - even in the dark.

    This whole "fat acceptance" mentality is disturbing.
    I am so very thankful my wife did not spin a tale and just gave it to me straight.
    "You're FAT! That's ugly to me..."

    And if the roles were reversed, I'd have nipped the weight gain off in the bud or divorced. When people change their body composition through poor choices, love does not suddenly transcend physical lust. That's just reality which is why married guys peep at porn, then bring home flowers to the "little" woman who knows in her heart that obesity is sexy.

    I was under the absurd notion that I was "carrying the weight well" - :laugh: :laugh:
    Anyway, none of us are here to gain fat, so let's admit the truth, work on the goals that will make us look good, feel great and live long.

    If obesity were beautiful, we'd have a whole community devoted to making fit people fat.
    People all over America would be making new year resolutions to gain 20 lbs of fat by summer to look fabulous on the beach!

    Are you getting my drift yet?
    You would divorce your wife for being overweight? yikes

    Not so much. Which is why it always surprises me when someone says I am. And I'm still coming to grips with the whole idea of being 50. It helps a lot that someone who has known us for a long time was shocked when my husband mentioned me turning 50. The guy thought I was in my late 30's or early 40's. That was nice.

    I have never felt sexy nor liked myself. I don't like seeing me naked and think what you will see is far away from beautiful, nice or good looking so even further from sexy. I always said I wish I could be my cousin, she has a wow body and no matter what she is wearing it looks fantastic, amazing, beautiful, sexy..

    But hey I find others beautiful "sexy" and will tell them when I do so and I have seen so many beautiful amazing looking women on here.

    As long as my husband loves me I am happy. People who don't know me think I am pretty selfconfident, but my friends tell me that I have to work on how I see myself. I guess it is just something you have to learn, to accept yourself for who you are, inside and out...

    I feel very sexy at this point in my life, but I agree with the person who said that feeling confident is sexy.

    I don't have a perfect body and never will BUT I do enjoy dressing the body I have in flattering clothes and highlighting the sexier parts.

    And yes, I feel very sexy when my husband tells me everyday how attractive he finds me. He likes all of the softer parts that I personally think are a bit hangy from age... :bigsmile:

    If I said what I think about this quote, I'm sure I'd get my head ripped off. So will just say by experience, this is not true in 99% of mens eyes.

    And I think your husband is right you are really beautiful/attractive - and I don't want to come of creepy, but had to say it :)

    I AM sexy. I don't THINK I'm sexy I just AM. It's not being cocky or vain...I just love myself. No one is going to do it for me and no one can replace the love I have for myself. I don't care how much weight I lose I'm never going to be perfect - but I will ALWAYS be sexy. Even when I gain weight I am still sexy. That has never changed...I can't even get rid of it...lol. It's just me. I think some people "feel" it and some people just "are" it. The difference is that for those that just "feel" it from time to time they need to learn to fake it til they make it until it completely takes over.
    It really and truly doesn't matter what our wives, husbands or significant others think because at the end of the day the only person looking us in the mirror is us.

    That kind of disturbed me too.... sounded kind of Shallow Hal! My husband and I got married when we were both a lot heavier...we have got fitter together and are still working on it!

    I was going to post something similar - but it seems easier to completely agree with you.

    I do, now that I have muscle definition that I never had before. I'm still overweight, but I am more confident and getting a lot of looks at the gym lately:blushing: I didn't think I would like the male attention, but I do! And my husband is looking at me differently now too.

    Hmmmmm.... sexy to me isn't a SIZE or SHAPE... It's more of an internal confidence thing....

    Yeah, I feel SEXY most of the time... I have a hubby who is constantly affirming my worth, so it makes it easier, I suppose...

    Love yourself!! BE YOU!!!! <---THAT's SEXY !! :drinker:

    Like everyone, there are days that you do and days that you don't. The good thing is that my MFP family is pretty good at keeping motivated with great compliments. And those days make me feel great!!

    WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE YEAH

    I can't say that I ever feel "sexy".
    However, I have been doing a dumb-bell weights oriented strength program since late Nov. Sometimes as I do arm and shoulder workouts in front of the mirror I do like what I see and feel a little "buff" !

    Sexy is between the ears. :smile:

    I felt sexy at my high weight and my low weight and everywhere in between. Not every minute of every day, but certainly more often than not.

    I do pretty much most of the time... Sexy to me has a lot more to do with my personality most of the time ... and when I can let go of worrying about how my body might look, and just work it, then I feel sexy too.
