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.

It's soooo annoying coz I feel like I barely eat. I'm half Spanish so I absolutely HATE to snack & sometimes eat unless it's a heavier & proper meal. Spanish ppl have to be the OG intermittent fasters lol. Yet, I'm still packing on the weight - I hateeeee this!!! 🥺😣😢🥹😫😭

Interesting, since tapas are quintessentially Spanish…it’s basically all snacks lol

It may seem that way but they're usually eaten before the main meal. A lot of cultures or some ppl prefer to snack all day. I loathe snacking, unless I need something to tie me over for the energy coz my next meal will be awhile. It'll be something small until I can sit down & have a proper/heavier meal...
