Compliments and Attention

I have notice that I am getting a lot of attention lately.
My head has not caught up with it all...seriously.
I feel safe here, but out there.... I feel mixed feelings.
Sure there are times I like it, but there are times I am
like your full of it.  OR NO MEANS NO...  or sometimes
I am like why am I being hit on with the wrong type of
people or why is she over complimenting me...etc etc

How are you all handling this? Does it bother you in anyway?
Do you like it?  Has your head caught up with everything?

Yeah it's weird...I was at the Anaheim Convention Center today and I was in line for something and I totally caught a very attractive girl checking me out like I was a piece of prime rib. I mean she was looking me up and down completely.  I was pretty surprised but also pretty flattered.

So how did I deal with it? I immediately went and bought a soft serve ice cream cone and I ate the whole thing.  Hmmm...maybe I should rethink that...

I sooooo hear you....  about running to get a cone...
It all sounds flattering...   but how did you really feel?  Did it bother
you ...or was it like an AWESOME feeling?   love hearing the guys point
of view

I guess I'd say it was weird. It's something I'm definitely not used to. I usually have to win ladies over with my wit and charms.  But now add my awesome body to the mix..lookout!  Ha ha ha...seriously, though, I think I was flattered at first and then I thought it was funny. And then a small voice in my mind was later trying to tell me I wasn't deserving of it.  I'm pretty oblivious to being hit on, the only reason I even caught this was because it was so over the top obvious.

Bottom line though, I'll totally take it over being treated the way I was before. It's just going to take some getting used to.  I find myself shy in situations I never would have been before or overthinking how I'm acting and trying to remember that I don't have to overcompensate for my fatness anymore.

I don't know - I hate being the center of attention, but everytime I'm around a group of people - al they want to do is talk about me and my weight loss.

I havent' had any guys checking me out or hitting on me - so I dont really know what i'd do, but just remind yourself that its a compliment - even from the creeps :)

Just tell yourself every morning that you are stunning and beautiful and just hold your head up high. It might be hard to deal with all the attention, but you deserve it !

Awwww your sweet and thank you for the reminder.

About the group of people talking about weight loss...  yes.... that is also like attention
too right?  I actually feel weird about that too?   Or with the normies, I find myself at
times talking about me exercising or whatever.  its all I know how to talk about when
they dont bring it up...  OR on the flip side...they talk about my weight loss, when I
sometimes dont want to.  it just depends with who and where.  I guess these
are part of growing pangs...  right?

huuuugs to you

I don't like the attention, but I'm getting very good at saying "Thank You" and smiling. I don't like how everyone asks "How do you feel?" I still don't realize how different I look.

I honestly don't know how I would handle that.  I know that I am shy around new people - but pretty outgoing once I get to know a person.  However, I think I would probably get all flustered and red faced if someone was actually flirting or checking me out.  I think it would actually make me uncomfortable if it was very direct.

My wife and I had to have a long distance relationship for awhile while I finished college and I did get some advances from people and really just blew them off.  I mean I was committed to my wife (girlfriend at the time).....but my thinking was also.....they aren't REALLY interested in me....NO WAY they are serious....not me....not a chance.  They are just ******g with me.  

Always been confident in every other area of my life....except the opposite sex and I know my weight was the issue.

Anyways....for your issue Doc....you deserve the attention you get!  That or maybe they heard about your *ahem* infamous thread regarding bodily fluid exchange.
