[quote=Anonymous]I guess I've sort of let myself go over the past few years. I was still a babe in my early forties, then Covid and depression and boredom and maybe some perimenopause came, and four years later, I feel so ugly and clunky and blah. I used to dress really well but now I work from home and have a dog, so I'm in leggings all the time. I don't do anything with my hair anymore. I rarely wear makeup. Haven't worn any kind of accessory or jewelry in years. I walk all the time but I stopped weight training so I'm not  as toned. There hasn't been dramatic weight gain or greying or wrinkling, but I just feel...ugly. And tired. And old.

For some reason, this morning I did my hair, put on a little makeup and wore something nice. And I looked good! I noticed some people checking me out, which I haven't noticed in years. I realized that I really haven't changed that much. It's just that I'm past the age where I can just throw my hair in a bun, put on some moisturizer and a pair of jeans and a tee shirt and look great. I'm a grown woman now and I need to take a little more time and care. And I haven't been doing that. So I'm going to try to make more of an effort more often because I ended up having a more energetic, productive day than I've had in years. I don't think I was letting myself go, so much as letting myself down. I hadn't really gone anywhere at all. [/quote]
