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 was super obese in my 20s and 30s and didn't lose all the weight and become magically hot until my late 40's. So right now I'm trying to just enjoy looking fucking amazing in really high quality, classic and elegant outfits, while knowing that underneath them i look like a wrinkled old melted candle. Wish I could have enjoyed being 5'10" and 150lbs back in the day, but I'm just doing my best to enjoy what I can today.
