[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im 37. 5'5" and 125.  I do have to be very restrictive.  at 135, I can eat whatever I want.  The body definitely has its comfortable spot.  I think I will enjoy being thin another 10 yrs, then hang it up and give it to 135.[/quote]

Life's too short. No one cares or notices if you are 125 or 135. [/quote]

This, especially past 40. What you may not realize, PP, is that you're about to become invisible to most people regardless of your weight. Why not enjoy life rather than dieting to impress people who really, really don't care?[/quote]

Actually I do agree.  Women over 40 become somewhat invisible. But I have my pride and I just won’t feel good about myself.  I love how I look at 125.  I like how I look at 135 and I’ll let it happen naturally after 45 or so if that is what is meant to be.  But I would never let myself get to 145+ even if I had to eat cabbage all damn day, ha[/quote]

Very true about being less visible (to men at least!) over 40. I used to get a lot of male attention on a regular basis but once I got past my early 40's it really dropped off. Nothing significant has changed about my appearance (I weigh about the same, still have long hair, etc) except I've gotten older. This is going to sound pathetic but I remember feeling anxious when I was in my 30's and it dawned on me that being young and cute wasn't going to last forever-my self esteem was low and I felt like I didn't have much more to offer than that. But now that I'm in my late 40's I find being less visible freeing. I don't have to worry about being sexually harassed by creepy men and I don't obsess about my looks like I used to.

I love being less visible to men as I age and it has not hurt me at all career-wise. [/quote]
