The whole "pick your ass or your face" thing is just something people say to feel better about being overweight in middle age.
The truth is that your face is going to look your age either way, but if you "choose your ass" you will be feel better and your clothes will look better. Always choose that. A flattering haircut and a makeup routine designed for older women can help brighten your face and make it look as youthful as is reasonable for a face to look at 45. |

I chose face. I wear clothes most of the time and my face is what is more important to me personally as well as for business.
JMHO But this is based on my line of work that is face to face all day long. When a person is heavier (even morbidly obese) with a beautiful face, they are still much easier to have to face (and you don't feel sad for them) than a person with a great body but a scary face where you can't stop seeing it as you speak with them wondering why they look so old. I think you need to gain even just 5 lbs, healthily, OP. |

By the same token, if you know how to dress yourself in flattering clothes, a few pounds isn’t going to make that much difference. |

No. At 65, our face looks aged and saggy no matter what. |

I also chose my ass over face, but I make sure to always wear sunscreen before a run. Do NOT stop running OP, there are more benefits than just a great ass. |

My bmi is 26. Face looks great and I don’t look fat but I need to lose weight. I think for me the BMI sweet spot is about 24.
21 is a low bmi especially since it sounds like you have a lot of money. Probably the healthiest way to fill out your face is to bring your bmi up to about 22. |

Yes a 22 bmi is the sweet spot between fit and gaunt for us older ladies. |
