No one has ever looked at me in *that* way

I was cleaning the house today, mooching about, doing the dishes, loading the washer, trying to ignore the feeling of doom in the pit of my stomach and the feeling of dizzines at the top my head.
As I cleaned I switched on the TV for some background noise and Oprah was on. Now usually I'm working at this time on a Monday so I don't get to see Oprah but she was talking to some woman about weightloss. My attention was pricked. The woman - who is Star Jones - (I had no idea who Star Jones was..) had lost a big old pile of weight, it seems.
So I watched and I listened. I didn't get to hear how she lost the weight but she talked about how she felt afterwards. This bit almost made me cry. She explained how one day she was changing in the loo of a airplane after losing weight and came out and a man looked her up and down with approval.
"No one had ever looked at me like that before" she said and in that instant I knew what she meant. Sure my husband loves me and all but when it comes to members of the male sex I'm not a person who grabs attention for the right reasons. No one looks at me in that *that* way and do I know how I would cope if they did?
Nope.
Still, weigh in is tomorrow and hopefully the backward slide will be reversed.
And, a quick google of what Star Jones looked like before and after highlights just why she gets those admiring glances now.

The only time a man ever looked at me 'like that' was when I was breast feeding and had huge mammaries

Impressive weight loss for Star Jones (surely not her real name?).

Good luck with your weigh in. Have to admit, I've just eaten a Walnut Whip, and had promised to be good, for once.
