Feeling Sexy
September 25, 2008
Be honest. When’s the last time you felt sexy?
I’m not talking about feeling sexy in terms of intimacy (that’d be a given)… I’m thinking more along the lines of moments, incidental or monumental, when you just glow.
Was it when you and your significant other ran a 5K together (and toppled into the shower afterward?) When you put on that new skirt you’d saved up for and it slipped right on? The hot (lucky!) heels you wore out last Friday night? Or how you felt after you cooked a new recipe that was met with raving reviews?
Was it a wink you got on the Metro? A knowing glance from your significant other across the table?
Maybe it was a bigger moment: handing in your dissertation and knowing you were going to start a whole new chapter of your life. Or walking down the aisle toward the man of your dreams. Or giving birth and becoming a mother. Or passing the bar exam and realizing your lifelong ambition.
Now let me ask you this: Did your weight have anything at all to do with “feeling sexy?”
My guess would be a resounding “no.”
Sexy is … you at your best. Me at my best. In mind, body heart and soul.
Just a little food for thought today.

The other day while running I got a high five from a cross-country team made up of about 20 shirtless guys. I’m pretty sure I grinned and glowed my way through the rest of my run. Probably the first time I’ve felt sexy while sweaty and red-faced in a while.

Pregnancy was oh so sexy on me. And, the funny part, was that I was no where near the weight I wanted to be but I felt so good.
I do, however, want the experience Liza Jane had. Seriously.

I’m feeling sexy because i’m losing weight. Clothes fit me better which boosts my mood and I no longer want to wear loose clothes and blend in. i am more proud of my body. VIVA WEIGHT WATCHERS!!!

The point you made about the bar exam - totally true. When I succeed in something at work - or when I passed the bar exam - I totally felt sexy!!
Great topic Liss!
