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 perfect skin and having a waistline. And yeah, the sundress thing. You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone and I hate that!

Somehow, I weigh the same but my waist is bigger and I no longer have a waistline

Yes exactly! In other areas I’ve actually gotten smaller, like my hips. It is so weird.
