Oh don't try it now?!

At first I kept thinking that I'd be turning people who didn't bother to ask me out now while I'm fat. Then it dawned on me that if I'm happier with my appearance and feeling sexier, why wouldn't guys notice and be more interested. I must admit that heavier guys usually are the first to catch my eye either. While I have no problem dating heavier guys, they are usually people that I've been introduced to by friends.  I've just noticed several people say that they've turned people down who didn't notice them before they lost weight. While some people are TOTALLY shallow and superficial and should be turned down, maybe we shouldn't just dismiss them for that one reason. While health is my primary reason for moving forward with surgery, losing weight and feeling sexy in lingerie is a very nice plus.

I am having similar feelings though not about dating.  I live in a neighborhood where many woman have plastic surgery, botox, etc.. I was obese and many would outright ignore me, even if I said hello.  I held my head up and quit saying hello if after 3 times, they did not respond.  I imagined I would be so mad I would tell them off. Instead I am friendly, polite, and focused on the people who see ME.  I don't allow them to pry and get into my business either.  "Hello. How are you? I'm well. Excuse me but I need to >>>>' 

I wouldn't have much for people like that before surgery.

Woot! The new self image and self confidence help a lot, don"t they?

I'm doing things and hanging out in places I would have never dreamed possible before my weight loss.

I also refuse to settle for or put up with in any area of my life now.

You go!
