Meg celebrated her birthday in a stylish restuarant in town that we both love. It was packed to the shiny silverware with absolutely gorgeous people.
Not traditionally gorgeous but people that I find gorgeous. The ones who smile so wide their face is going to bust. The glow. They wear their clothes well. No matter what shape, size or colour, they looked liek they were happy and enjoying their meal at restuarant'e de'lish.
So here's the part where I say that my libido is running hot right now. HOT. I couldn't stop looking around and taking in all these sights.
Fast forward an hour and a half (I whipped home for two waxing appointments) and just Meg and I were at my favourite Irish bar. Both of us sober. Both of us supping a Diet Coke. I knew Chris would be proud.
I felt amazing in my old fav dress.... slinky even. At this point, I'd like to welcome back my waist.
Then it started. The entire bar started filling with incredibly, hot, muscular, gorgeous men. Meg and I were in heaven. I am talking 70% of the bar was smokin' hot. I was feeling very, very flirtacious and my body reacted in ways I haven't felt in a long time. I kept commenting "What is WRONG with me?"
I drove home around 11.30pm. We stayed up til 1am. Scott left for his motorbike rally this morning with a smile on his face.*
So my question to you is... have you ever noticed a change in your libido with weight loss or weight gain?
*Apologies to my mum. Too much info?

Not sure if it lost or gain but if you feel happy and good about yourself then your desire will be more welcomeing .I have always been a healthy/unhealthy weight. But my desire usually refects how I feel happy, tired, premenstral/post, sick of work, happy out with girlfriends etc. I think if you feel good and your receiving positive comments your desire can increase. What the heck just enjoy.
My desire generally does too, but this was different. This was pure, gutteral, oomph! Lust. For no reason in particular.
WOW, wish weightloss had that effect on me! It does the opposite. I feel un-womanly while my curves are going and it takes me ages to readjust at a smaller weight. Im by no means a skinny minny but losing 6kg since the start of the year has just left me MORE self concious than with the 6kg. I dont feel feminine.
after much working out to loose my baby weight, when i noticed i had lost weight ( not by the scales) all i wanted to do was throw myself at my husband...NEEDED the lights on and HAD to be on top ... im not sure if its a chemical brian thing or wether its just pure confidence. but yes DEFINENTLY the inner beast is unleashed as the kgs fall off. and the best thing about that is.... ITS EXERCISE, so only more kgs come off in doing so :)
I notice a change when I lose weight. I think it has something to do with me feeling better about myself and starting to feel sexy, and hence having a bit more self confidence.
Good for you!! :)
Green Mama, isn't that weird. What could help you feel a little more womanly?
Amy - You are a beast! Love it and total get it!
Tina - Same. We feel less like a couch monster and more like a woman. Go us.
Aww let me tell you girl crush, reciprocated! xo
P.S After losing the weight, ahuh, toey as all hell! It's even worse now I'm single!!
Hell yes - it's all about feeling better in your skin - and I love it! Zxx
Short term: buy some hot lingerie. Long term: implants. But thats a fair way away.
It definitely effects mine! When I'm feeling really good about myself, I feel more desirable therefore libido increases quite a bit and i find its me instigating things more often.
Hold on to that feeling sexy girl!
Nope, not a positive effect anyway. I think it's (for me) possibly a hormonal thing with my body trying to adjust to rapid weight loss. I just feel tired, miserable and hungry :( Not horny! hehe.
yeah! I hear u! Mr M LURVED Cohen's because of how randy I was. *
Sorry Mum (Dunno if u can blog in heaven - but just in case : P)
Mr.(exhuasted)Bandit here....
I KNEW IT!!!!!! I thought you and meg have been spending too much time together, I think you can have a little time apart you two! lol.
I would just like to thank my wife for still sticking to her guns and still losing wieght, the 70% of hot men at the pub who got my girl feeling the way she did and apologys to everyones mum for the content, sorry!
OMG I had to laugh at the link love! diet coke DOES ROCK. So there.
And yes, after I lost a shit load of weight I could not get enough of THAT.
Now... My libido is lagging again... I feel fat and ugly again. *sigh*
I am now praying that A) I qualify for a lap band and B) I can find the money for it! A) is the problem more than B). Going to do some serious investigations this week...
I know when I am feeling good about how I look I am toey as hell.. lately..I hate how I look.. so have little intrest in anyone seeing me nekkid! go with it girl... if you feel great now.. how the hell are you going to be in a few more kilos!!!
Cheers WannaB Slim
I totally understand and totally agree! ;)
Meg IS totally cute! I thought that the first time I saw her pic! :)
You pair of hornbags you! Love it. Hehehe :)
Okkk being who I am - in relation to you - this may be too much information. But hell yes!!!
I think that my have to do with the fact that not only did I lose 35kg but I am also 'well' (had much needed hysterectomy) for the first time in years and years.
You know who - doesn't know what to do with me!!! Wondered if something was wrong with my hormones. I laughed. I was offended. I laughed. Than I said "Hey if a bloke is feeling the need more than they have in years would a woman tell him he might need his hormones checked???" I think not.
Umm Yes. When I lost weight in my early 20's I went CRAZY! I used and abused all the men I could lay my hands on. Fun Much? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
Something else to look out for. I recently had surgery.After a few problems I had to have a iron transfusion. Now here the thing. I was told today that the low iron was related to the banding. common he said (Dr). So why after five years did I not know this!! And why have I not had regular iron and hg screening. dont get me wrong this is the best thing I have done next to having my boys. But i learning everyday and this one is a really important. Has anyone else experienced low iron?
