Is it normal for me to feel like this?

I recently lost a lot of weight and I have a lot more confidence then I did ever in my life. I see men staring at me all the time, holding doors, telling my I'm hot, but I'm not used to this. Don't get me wrong, it's so nice to hear and see it, but my question is: I am starting to think about being with other men, I am engaged to be married and he is a wonderful man and step-dad to my son. We have been together going on 7 years. How do I stop thinking like this? I never acted on anything. I would have the heart to break it off, I couldn't cheat on him, but now I'm thinking for once in my life, "I do look good!" Maybe I just changed, but he is ignoring me now, and just watches me to see who's looking at me. It makes me crazy. Help!!

    If you truly loved him, you wouldn't even think about being with anyone else. When your self esteem was low, you were "settling" with him, now you want something more. You need to sit down and really think about your relationship, your newfound self esteem and what you really want in life.

    These men are looking at you because of your looks meanwhile, your fiance has been with you when the weight was on & he probably thought you were a beautiful girl. He was there from the beginning and you would be a ***** to be with someone else because of a little boost in your confidence.

    Don't get cocky; looking good is nice and I congratulate you on the big weight loss but just remember what's important to you. You'll eventually get bored and maybe even annoyed at all the looks. Marry your fiance and congrats again!

    Same thing happened to me too. It's stuff that happens all the time to other women. But when it first starts happening (to you and me), it's . . . oh my gosh . . . too flattering! And then you start noticing lots of guys doing it, right? Like even guys in cars will check you out in their side-view mirrors?

    Well, I came to realize that it wasn't really anything to do with me. It's just that most men do that kind of stuff--it's like breathing to them. They don't even realize they're doing it because they do it so often. I just thought it was specially for me, at first, because it had never happened to me before.

    So, now, I don't make eye contact. And . . .they quit and move on to someone else who will make eye contact.

    But I'm a little concerned for you and the engagement. Maybe you should postpone it until you decide for sure what you want. Maybe there are more options that you'd like to explore become you committ FOREVER to your guy.

    ok

    that doesnt mean you should leve your hubby for it

    ii know you feel that way but

    7years is long

    and he was there for you for everything

    even when you had the weight on you

    he accepted you for who you are and how you look like and he loved you for it

    so what you look better now he still loves the way you look

    congrats on losing weight! Unfortunately now you have to reap the benefits and all that comes with it. Obviously you've changed, but you need to talk this over with him before you get married!

    I don't know, it happened to me. I lost weight and more men look at me too. Someone gave me too much attention and I started falling for him. Be careful. Don't return their stares.
