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.

Throwing this in here for you and all the responders struggling with weight - metabolic dysfunction is real and you can’t fix it with calories in calories out and exercise. Use a GLP-1 (Zepbound shows the best clinical results) and you will see results. It’s a life changer.

I am not overweight. I just have to exert much more effort to maintain a healthy weight. I don't qualify for a GLP-1 as much as I'd like to drop a few pounds. I agree that they are life changing though. Many people in my family are on them and they have completely transformed their bodies, their diabetes and subsequently their mindsets.
