I thought as I saw the picture, what an truly elegant woman.<br /><br />I know she has just a little more money than the rest of us ;) but I point her out to you as someone who is indeed old, and not skinny, and yet is truly high class and beautiful.<br /><br />Moral of the story is, you don't have to be thin and young to look good, IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-18227462722442515532010-05-11T23:44:27.050+01:002010-05-11T23:44:27.050+01:00I am glad to finally find an honest blogger.

The ones that have tried and tried, only to get on the scale and find we still weigh 230,240 or even 253, like I did this morning.<br />I am fatter of late tooand I HATE it...but I am too lazy or tired or discouraged or something to try very hard to lose it.<br />If I don't do something soon, I will be going to work naked, because when you gain 20 plus lbs.....NOTHING fits right anymore.<br />I am 49 and I have been grumpy for about a year...must be hormones or something.<br /><br />Glad I find you!In Honor of Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13222264188688588404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-35522385434140961482010-05-11T10:41:25.040+01:002010-05-11T10:41:25.040+01:00Awww, Deniz, I REALLY needed to hear that.

Except my reflection - lol! <br /><br />Confidence Grumpy, confidence. I WILL have a good time, but I hope I don't have to anaesthesise myself on vino to do it!:)Fat Grumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563154952353175490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-44796017866209966152010-05-11T10:30:04.921+01:002010-05-11T10:30:04.921+01:00Yeah, I know it can be seriously hard when you fin...Yeah, I know it can be seriously hard when you find yourself head to head with the 'beautiful people', particularly when they are in a very different financial situation to your own. Been there too and know what you're feeling. But... you have NOTHING to feel inferior about and EVERYTHING to feel proud about.<br /><br />You've lived through life's 'rocks and boulders' and survived the bar-stewards to wear their blasted tee-shirts! OK, you're tired of the fights and struggles, but you've done that and won so my guess is that you'll beat anything.<br /><br />You may not have painted your toenails (yet) but do pink toes make you a better person? Don't stress yourself about the lotus-eating lawyers - they're only people so probably have their own worries and insecurities, no matter what they project.<br /><br />Have a good time (no, a GREAT time) and pamper yourself and your man. You deserve it!Denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633002838343992787noreply@blogger.com
