I used to like 'power dressing' at work etc. but now incline towards jeans, jumpers and wellies. You can't escape the passage of time, and I don't like the various effects of thinning (hair), thickening (waist) and gravity :-D. However I have cut down my calories without drastic dieting and upped the exercise to keep the spread at bay! I have all my bits in all the right places and people don't scream so I guess I'm pretty average. I enjoy good health which is always the greatest blessing. |

My hair has changed from red to white, my hairdresser tells me women pay a fortune to get this colour, and I have lots of it so that's good. |

I am happy and comfortable with the way I look now. I was seven stone six-lbs when I got married forty-six years ago, I am now nine stone five lbs, and I think I look better. I have always had a very healthy and active life style. I have not used soap and water on my face for forty years, and remove my make up EVERY night. I am so lucky I have inherited from my Mothers side of the family who all have lovely skin. I think it is important (for me anyway) that I look good, so I take a pride in my appearance, I love clothes, shoes, handbags, perfume, all the “girlie” stuff. I am fortunate that I don’t have any serious health issues which allows me to still be active. I think the way you feel about yourself reflects on the way you look, I love to practise my Yoga, and try to fit some in everyday its all about body mind and spirit. |

Oh no, I am not! I hate the extra weight I have gained, I hate the way my hair has thinned and gained frizzy curls from somewhere (it used to be straight as could be) and I hate the way my chin has doubled up. My skin isn't too bad but my eyelids have taken over so my eyes look small and piggy, my eyelashes are sparse and my eyebrows never recovered from the plucking I did when younger! The worse bits are around my mouth, where the lines have deepened due to my teeth and gums changing, and my skin is saggy and changes my face shape. |

The main problem is that I still think I am 28......... then I walk past a mirror and get a fright :-( |

I think most of us will have 'bits' that we don't like, but it is only minor bother. Most of us are happy to be healthy. I know i would prefer to be the weight and shape I was in my 40s/50s but it isn't going to happen as I'd have to lose over 2 stone. My Oh now refers to me as 'cuddly'. But then he has not got room to talk. :-D :-D |

I don't really bother too much, as long as I am clean I'm happy. |

The Bible mentions a painted sepulchre which is not nice inside and therefore pretty worthless. |

Yes and no. I wish I could lose a little weight. I worked out that every 10 years since the age of 20, a stone has slowly crept on. :-( |

No ofcourse I am not happy with the way I look. I used to be pretty and interesting. Now at best my look is lived in an interesting.. Do I care well yes but do I care enough is a different matter. Would I pay money to change my looks ...if I won the lottery would I change NO I would still want to be me . |
