I just am not what I used to be and never really will be again. If I lose all the weight I will still have saggy baggy skin that will hang and probably look way worse than now...so at this point I am looking in the mirror and thinking I'm not half bad after all. After all I could look worse. It does suck to get older, but all those folks that looked so fine back in school are in the same boat...we are all older and sagging and bagging and that is a comfort. All that sucking made me giggle a bit Jo. LOL Great post!!<br /><br />Kathy<br />http://gigglingtruckerswife.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564863484894692249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-36428180626733658812013-07-20T00:07:01.392-04:002013-07-20T00:07:01.392-04:00I really do wish all women of all ages would embra...I really do wish all women of all ages would embrace their bodies.

With such a close call with my cancer I am so thankful to be here I don't even care what's saggin' or draggin'. If I hit the lotto I may bring a few things up but I will never mess with my laugh lines or tummy. No way. I have lived an awesome life and I can tell you a story about every scar, every bump, every wrinkle and I like it like that! As for hair. I'm just happy to have some now and a body that stays upright and functions as much as I need it to. - GREAT post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-47950024984610554832013-07-19T21:07:40.965-04:002013-07-19T21:07:40.965-04:00Imperfect at this age is the new perfect!

If you want to loose some weight, diet and exercise. But do it for your health because perfection will elude you. Beauty will never really come from perfection, it comes from goodness.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-85888608137452365042013-07-19T00:07:10.080-04:002013-07-19T00:07:10.080-04:00That was a passion packed post Jo.

If you're not happy with what you see in the mirror then make a choice to change what you know you can and accept that which you cannot change. <br /><br />Complaining about it never changes anything!! And I really don't get "self-hate".<br /><br />As you know 7 months ago today I decided to make some positive, healthy changes...and they're paying off. I'm working hard--not because I hate my body--but because I love myself enough to want to stick around...and some of my previous choices weren't going to afford me a long future. As of today I am -84lbs, -51 inches and I'm super pleased that my decision to start living healthy is paying off :) <br /><br />And as for you Jo-- I've never met you-- but I can tell you have a beautiful soul and that is really the part that matters. Happy to call you my friend!! <br /><br />Cheers, JennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.com
