I lost a ton of weight with diet pills when they were still being prescribed in the 70's. I looked great. I turned heads all over town. I was very active in my town's theatre group, and tried out for a part in "The Sound of Music" (the countess that was in love with the father before Maria shows up). My best friend told me--"You look different, now, and you should have tried out for the lead. Everybody sees you differently now." WOW-- I thought, why? I could have played the lead when I was heavy-- my acting and singing talents didn't change-- but then, I didn't LOOK the part. We are starting a new chapter, and we are naturally going to experience new things. Just be yourself and don't fall for every line that the guys throw out there. Remember that now you LOOK the part of a beautiful, interesting person, even tho it was there all along. My rambling 2 cents worth.
