Default Small WoW moment

Hi Everyone,

I had a couple of small wow moments this past week. Last week, I was packing to go to my business trip in Toronto and tried on a pair of size 14 suede pants that I bought years ago and even when I bought them they were too small but I promised myself "I'll get into them". Well, I tried them on last week and they fit to do up but not all that comfortabley. Today, I am wearing them, finally!

My other wow came when I was standing in line to check in to my hotel. A very nice looking gentleman (I swear he was a dead ringer for Daniel Craig, the guy who was in the latest James Bond movie!!) approached me and asked if I lived in Toronto (I thought he was going to ask for a restaurant recommendation or directions to some place), and I said no but that I used to live there and could probably help him out. Well, he asked me if I'd like to spend some time with him that weekend going out to a show or dinner, etc. You could have knocked me over with a feather! I was totally stunned. I did tell him thank you but no (to my boyfriend's great pleasure!). It was quite flattering and I was stunned that someone like that would come up and ask 'somone like me' out. Since then, I can tell you the best result is that my boyfriend seems a lot more attentive!

Ahh... I am feeling a bit light headed now!

Aawwww...I'm jealous. I've lost over 90lbs and I think I look damn good and I still can't get any strange guys to hit on me. LOL

Congrats... on the stud and the pants.

Very cool! Glad to hear you're doing so well. I have a pair of pants like that to...I can now get them on and buttoned, but not sure if I can wear them out of the house yet. I hate camel toe!!!
