Yeah, I noticed it a lot a couple of years ago. Suddenly I was being checked out alot. It feels good, but we have to be really careful with all that. Don't worry, I saw it all on Oprah.

It *does* feel nice to be noticed, doesn't it?<br /><br />I think one of the saddest things about being obese is that people don't really SEE you. It's like, "Oh, I'm sorry, does MY obesity make YOU uncomfortable?!"<br /><br />Anyhow, I realize why it matters - both visually for many people AND health-wise. I just wish it weren't so.<br /><br />*stepping off my soapbox*<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your victories, big and small!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-30308422573415290022010-01-07T09:55:29.716-07:002010-01-07T09:55:29.716-07:00Love it!

Since I have lost weight, I have been treated quite a bit different, and as you say Chris, I have even been flirted with. This is something I don't really ever remember experiencing. Someone touching you on the elbow when they are talking to you or hanging around talking when they don't have to. Getting better treatment at the car rental counter or at other businesses by the ladies.<br /><br />Like you, I am happily, very happily married. I am just saying it seems to work both ways.South Beach Stevehttp://www.logmyloss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-55170381407429912172010-01-07T05:36:51.527-07:002010-01-07T05:36:51.527-07:00what a great NSV for you and sad but true view of ...what a great NSV for you and sad but true view of the world regarding obesity.uhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352448044334020347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-6638257526908969782010-01-07T04:21:53.095-07:002010-01-07T04:21:53.095-07:00You had me chuckling this morning :) Congrats and...You had me chuckling this morning :) Congrats and you'll be in the 170s before you know it!!Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309027809190084539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-26423541782642871452010-01-07T01:14:01.081-07:002010-01-07T01:14:01.081-07:00Awesome!

Though saying that, it always pissed me off that I was the same person inside fat or thin and I got treated differently. But now that I write that, and reading your blog, Chris, it makes me wonder - you're not really the same inside as you were on that couch in that fat picture, are you? I know the Fedex Kinkos guys wasn't reacting to your internal changes but remember too that you have changed internally and externally.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-74466756990310349152010-01-06T22:36:35.284-07:002010-01-06T22:36:35.284-07:00I know exactly what you mean...

I didn't think it had anything to do with me being fat... The telling bit will be whether it magically improves as I slim down. <br /><br />Brace yourself, 179!

I can't say I don't want to be smoking hot, cuz I do and maybe that is shallow too.
