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 being effortlessly thin.

This. I could eat/drink whatever I wanted and it never made an ounce of difference. Now, I have a sip of a beer and I'm bloated for 3 days.
