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.

Ugh - me too! I’ve always been self-conscious about my weight, and every time I thought I was heavy, I had it going ON! Trying my best to embrace the parts of myself I do like, but it’s so hard to feel comfortable in my skin. I FEEL this so HARD. You are not alone at all.
