Mirror, mirror on the wall.....Wait, who are you?

[Fuffs]

I am saving for botox and fillers - I am not going down without a fight lol x

Lol!!!!' I am saving for tits lol. I am not losing my twins for anything lol

Ruthie: I do feel like being fat makes me look old and frumpy. So I understand your point. I cant wait to be in fashionable or classic cut clothes. My swagger will be on point! Lol!!!

I loved the 'what I save only food bill'. I hadn't thought of that.

I have a few holistic therapist friends. So will make sure I pamper myself x

Hi fuffs,

Since my bypass my confidence has grown so much,I don't take any rubbish from anyone now.
Where as before I felt I was too fat to complain or bring attention to myself.
Sometimes I need to watch what I do say!

I do worry that I'll have some sort of dissassociation...I already feel like I have it a little as I never felt like I was 30 stone and when I looked in the mirror I didn't think I looked 30 stone. I worry that I won't connect with the person I see in the mirror, or worse that I won't recognise my weightloss and will end up being someone who still isn't happy with their body.

I've got to say after I was a size 26 and now I'm 10/12 I sometimes feel like I'm dreaming looking at my new self in the mirror,especially my new found booty! X

The fact is, for me anyway, people generally guess at me being 10 years younger than I actually am.

I worry that, as I lose the weight, the fat holding the skin taut will (obviously) disappear and I will end up looking older than I am!

[Newmelani]

Me to Tatiana! People always guess I'm about 10-12 years younger than I am. I'm hoping I'll look even younger when I'm skinny!

 

[Fuffs]

People guess me older than 30. So I am hoping slim makes me look younger.

I have loved the answers on here. Some humorous and some just lovely. You guys are great

 

[happyhilary]

Well all my life I have felt the ugly sister. I am 10 years younger than my sister who when younger was the village beauty queen . She was very slim , blonde and very pretty and boy did she just love it! She would lap it all up. I was the youngest of the family and we had two brothers in between Bev and I . Bev would be upstairs pampering herself while I was downstairs fighting with the boys. My brothers taught me how to fight ! So I was the tomboy I had ponies and was spoilt but I knew I would never have the looks. At 16 I had my daughter and back then in 1979 it was the end of the world but I married my then boyfriend at 18 and we are still married today 30 yrs ! Who said it wouldn't last !
So after now losing nearly 7 stone I am slimmer than my sister ! Oh how the tables are gonner turn ! Bev and I are off to Egypt on 19th jan just the two of us and she will be the fatty on the beach for once !
She is around 15 stone and shorter than me so is at least 2 or maybe 3 sizes bigger in clothes and just for once I want to feel the pretty one is this so bad ? I don't feel 48 to be honest and I don't think my face has changed much but I was always pear shaped but now I am a 14 top and 14 bottom with no fat on my backside at all. I have kept my bust , well some of it ! And I have very small amount of loose skin on the top of my thighs but my daughter said I don't so maybe it's just me. hubby said if it worries me he will pay for tummy tuck and new boobs which has now made me think I've been fooling myself and I am all baggy ! Oh will I ever be happy with what I see in the mirror ? I doubt it.

 

[happyhilary]

Oh I forgot to add i drive a new Astra convertible and my sister drives a corsa so this summer it's going to be me driving around topless ! And by then I'll be 49 but who cares !

 

[emma-louise]

Lol...I ain't bragging but
I get asked for ID when I tryed to purchase some alcohol (wasnt for me may I add) in the shops.I told other half and he said I was being daft,until a woman asked again another time in front of him...lol I was chuffed as hell !

 

[Ruthiep]

At 63 I'm unlikely to get asked for ID when buying alchohol but it would be nice if people didn't think I was that old! You can look at my pic and decide, it was taken yesterday at my DIL's house. I have 35 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren btw, that is when people start looking amazed Great grandmothers are OLLLLDDD, right? I was one at 57, and a grandma at 38....
