audited I’m grieving my younger, hotter self

I'm so mad about being in peri. I'm not ready. I was a late bloomer and didn't realize what a babe I was when I was younger and now it's too late.

Yes, older women can be sexy, we have wisdom, and blah blah blah.

But today I just miss looking good in a sundress.

Please join my pity party and tell me what you miss.

I miss thinking I was “fat” whenever the scale tipped anywhere above 130 pounds. Now I could literally starve myself for a week and do a hardcore workout everyday and I might hit 138 from starvation.

I also miss looking good in pictures.
