Jan, stop knocking yourself...you look hot in red. I might be gay but can still appreciate an attractive women.

Seriously, I am age 64, 5'-10", 175 pounds and see myself as fat. In my 20s-30s tried to maintain my weight at a thin 140. In my 50s hit 150 pounds and a 31-inch waste line and felt fat. Now in my 60s at 175 pounds and 33-inch waste line I feel obese. It is natural we gain weight as we age, natural our waist line expands. I have accepted I will no longer have my thin hips or the 28-inch waste line I had in my 20s. Today in my 60s, I accept my age and changing body proportions...today I only hope to be healthy.

Perhaps when I was young I developed an unrealistic body image. Mom was 1950s-60s perfect, she was 5'-7", 115 pounds, 19-inch waste line and 34 inch bust. She was a teen pageant winner, later a runway model. Moms self worth was based on her appearance. Mom struggled with her weight her entire adult life. Mom was unhappy most of her adult life trying to maintain a teenage youthful appearance. Mom died at age 58. I have been unhappy most of my adult life trying to maintain my weight at 20s body proportions which is totally unrealistic. Now in my 60s, still hate my body, feel obese with a 33-inch waste line. In my 20s did do some modeling but to this day never comfortable having my photo taken. This coming spring going to feel exposed driving my 1966 T-Bird convertible. Dark sunglasses and a hat cap is what I will wear.

Good day for me. After ten years of pushing my Cuz in South Carolina, countless hours on the phone, she is finally learning to use email. Cuz emailed me today, I linked her with both my brother, and my best friend in Virginia. Cuz and my brother only a few hundred miles apart but have not communicated in close to a decade, they do love each other. I only speak with brother twice a year but we care for each other and had a two hour call today. Today, I was able to link my brother and cuz together.

Cuz and best friend in Virgina met years ago on a trip we shared together to DC. Today linked Cuz and best friend on email. They have phone called each other but now have each others email address. Cuz in SC, best friend in VA, we are now planning to get together this coming summer.
