Before After

whatcha looking at?

So, we're heading down to the in-laws for the weekend. The guys are going salt-water  fishing. The kids & I will be hanging around with MIL and maybe going to see my stepmom & sis. It's been awhile. My MIL is a great cook, so this weekend should be loaded with temptations. Lord help me be strong & I shall do my best to keep moving & working out.

Earlier tonight, DH and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few supplies for the trip (drinks, cereal, fishing gear, etc..) While shopping, a couple of guys kept staring at me.  Well, specifically at my shirt. I checked and rechecked but didn't have anything on me or nothing showing. I ran into both of those guys a couple of times and I was getting a little paranoid. I finally asked DH what was up. He gives me one of those "DUH" looks, oh you  know that look! The one that says you just asked a really stupid question and do you have any brain cells? He says it's the shirt. Uhm yeah, what about it? duh, I realize it is the shirt, but what's  the deal? He sighs and says honey, it's clingy and it's  really accenting your chest.  OH...  Wait, are you sure it's my chest and not my belly because when I looked in the mirror, all I saw was my fat  gut.  He thought that was funny. Hmmp.

That started a conversation about my weight journey and confidence. A month ago,  I didn't even own a clingy shirt! My closet  was full of 2x & 3x clothes. I hate people seeing my fat! Last week I was  shopping for new work out  clothes and bought this shirt. I thought it was okay, clung a little too much to my belly, but that's extra motivation for me to keep working out & don't forget the abs!!  Well, seems while I'm only seeing my belly, the guys are seeing the chest. Would it be wrong to say I'm flattered? LOL Guess it's just one more reason Dh wants to work out with me. He's not going to let me get sexy without  him.

Ya'll have a great weekend and hopefully none of us will stray too far off program! We can do this!

Best wishes!

Extra Incentive

Sounds like to be the clingy shirt thing is just extra incentive to keep on going

It's not wrong to be flattered...  I would be too!

LOL you are so right!

YUP - It's totally true - guys are looking at your chest! LOL

I have to watch the stuff I wear to the gym...

LOL

How surprising... Well anyway, way to go on the improved figure!  Have a great weekend and be strong!

Way to turn the heads!

And no, it is not wrong to be flattered! Just because they are pigs doesn't mean you are not hot!

Love It

OH YES, I love that story.  Flattered......yes, you need to be flattered.  This is reward for all the hard work you are doing.  It should be encouragement to  you. 

And your thinking that are looking at your belly is so typical of us women.  We only see the flaws.

Blessings to you,  Chargail

Hope your weekend is great. 

Nice compliment!

Your hubby sounds like an unjealous person like mine!  Have a great time w/ the family!

Right on

I think it is great you and dh are doing this together.  So far, my b/f hasn't stepped up to lose weight.  He does exercise some, play sports with his buddies, but he hasn't really changed his eating proportions to lose weight.  He's just doing enough to maintain.  Ohhhh well.

Way to go turning heads and I don't think it's wrong to like it!!

yay

Although it's always annoying to have guys openly checking you out, it can't hurt your confidence.  Awesome job. 

Ha!

Lucky you!

If my DF saw anyone looking at me, he'd punch their lights out. Sweet and protective, yes, but sometimes a girl wants to feel hot. And if that means someone sneaks a look at her, then whatever works!
