Thanks for all your kind words.

You know, I don't aspire to, nor do I really wish to look like all the so called perfect bodies and faces out there. I am me and I have to live with that. I can accept certain sagging and aging bits even though it is very grudgingly. For example, I have never been bothered by my stretch marks. They are there from weight loss, weight gain, severe weight loss and then having a baby and somehow, years ago, I came to terms with them. But I want to look good for my husband. And I don't look good right now. And this whole thing has sparked a spate of self-defeating behaviour and thoughts.

But I am working on it, I am trying. That is all I can do.
