Congrats on the payday.
I had a late lunch at the mall. The young man who seated me, either a host or manager, and the waiter both flattered the daylights out of me. He told me I was a glamorous beautiful woman and how old was I, 29? LOL He went on to say his mother always claimed to be 29 and that he never knew her age until her obituary. I told him with the day I was having, that he just made my day. We chatted awhile.
Ever since I got glammed up for the wedding with a tan, slimmed down some and started wearing more makeup I have been getting casual compliments galore. DH and I were out to dinner when our usual waitress looked at my husband and said you have a beautiful wife, you know that don’t you? When the young lady finished my makeup for the wedding my daughter stopped dead in her tracks and said “oh, Mom! You look beautiful”....my niece at the wedding exclaimed “Aunt____, you look beautiful!” Who knew that was all it was going to take? LOL I am enjoying it.
I’ve never had a friend-male or female-who was not motivated to choose a more stylish wardrobe, etc after they lost weight and were down a size or two, and I think it is wonderful. I think you look fabulous in the wedding pics-I haven’t seen any pics of you pre weight loss, but you certainly look great now.
I’m sometimes annoyed with wearing practical, unisex work clothes and boots, but I try to make up for it by buying skinny jeans for work at the online cheap jeans place so I will always look like a woman, and I never go without my make-up, eyeliner, blush, the whole thing-also perfume, and a pretty hair ornament for my ponytail or bun-a little thing, but it is my trick to keep a positive attitude and ego-of course, the guys at work are nice, too-they compliment me, and I do the same for them when they have something new and attractive on...
