There's another side to all this...I used to be one of those waif-ish models, but, you'd never know it to see me now! Menopause weight has been clinging to my skinny bones for a few years, now, and doesn't want to let go. Were you to see my mom or my daughter, you'd wonder what happened to me, lol! So, can you imagine how it must feel to see old photo shoots of me, and to see myself in the mirror now - shudder!
It has taken me at least 4 years to get back into single digit sized jeans, stretch of course; but, I'm still fluctuating a bit between those and the double-digits, in spite of all the running and training I do. However, my body has been changing ever so slowly and my "fat clothes" are starting to feel too big (yay!).
There ARE grandmothers having procedures done, it's rather ridiculous to me. I'll never have my 20-something face or body again, and there's no way a knife will touch it. We do have to learn to love who we are, not just what we look like. I'm going through a lot of the middle-aged crazies, and it's hard to love who I am. So, I just try to like me, hahaha!
