But we need a place where we can be negative because usually we just get bashed over the head and shamed into silence if we dare speak out about how we really feel. The only voices we ever hear are about how wonderful aging is and what a privilege it is etc etc but some of us simply just dont feel that way no matter what people tell us about how we should feel. We need a safe place to vent without being judged.

Yeah, were supposed to think its fabulous, liberating and 'the best time of our lives' but my response to my ugly old woman face is 'ewww yuck gross!' Being able to say that without being judged-now THAT's liberating!

I lost my butt during menopause, it is completely flat! It was never a Kardashian butt but I am EMBARRASSED how my jeans look! I'm almost 55 and my butt looks like my 80 years old dad's butt! Is that normal?

That is a wonderful way to look at it! Not everyone gets the privilege to grow older and it is a privilege. At 44, I’m realizing that the changes are coming quick, fast and in a hurry. I choose to age gracefully. It’s not about acceptance from society or men for that matter. We must LOVE and ACCEPT ourselves. That can be harder than aging itself,in our shallow society but it can be done.

Totally agree-ageing isnt a 'blessing' or a 'privilege'-its pure, nasty, unadulterated evil

She is right!!! I wear #7 lotions day and night. And also the makeup. Concealers are awesome and the mascaras. Keep dark circleS under cover and wear mascara always!!! I too work out and put on basic makeup everyday and always lip gloss or chapstick colored of course. And drink lots of water and take collagen and supplements. And I will get the #7 microabrasion serum asap!

If ageing was a person it would be in jail for all the abuse and bullying it causes and all the lives it ruins. Its nothing better than a thief-but there is no justice, not even sympathy.

Thanks to a year since menopause started, I am unable to look in a mirror without crying. Ugly slack face . I work from home and when I’m done I go to bed. Try to never leave the house. I don’t want anyone to see my ugly face.
Honestly wish I hadn’t enjoyed life so much during my younger years - depresses me to think of how it used to be.

Oh this is sad yet refreshing to read these comments as I feel less of a aging failure. My stress, anger issues, flat ass(I used to have the best ass!), hot flashes, wrinkles, anxiety, sleepless nights, unable to focus and muscle loss just to name a few have really got me down.
Also…. Does anyone have problems with weight gain? I’ve always been around 115-118 (my perfect imo weight) (I’m 5’7’’)… I can’t seem to get past 101 anymore… making me look older and too skinny….I look saggy and feel like a bag of bones. Everywhere I look it’s all about weight gain being the issue … I feel very alone on this one. Any one else out there???

If you live in the UK try googling Trinity Transformation for the weight loss. Also ask about testosterone replacement therapy-yes you heard me lol! Apparently a lack of it makes it hard to lose weight

Opps sorry I read your post too quickly and thought you were talking about wight gain-but worth asking about the testosterone because it might help with that too although I dont know anything for sure.

Yeah-lockdown was a blessing for me as I could hide away and then hide my ugly face with a mask. No more having to make excuses about 'feeling ill' just to get out of social occasions. Thankfully after some work with face exercises I look better now

I’m 59, and while I just had fillers and Botox on my face, my body looks pretty good. I try to eat very healthy mostly plant based low protein, healthy carbs, and limit my sugar, which I do crave. I exercise regularly and have most of my adult life. I’m telling you this to encourage you into starting a good exercise routine and adopt a healthy diet. It will do wonders for you physically, and emotionally. Stick to it though… it takes time. ♥️

Yep me too- the amount of social occasions Ive pulled out of because going to them is excruciatingly painful. I feel like Im being bullied and abused every day by ageing. Every holiday, night out, day out, etc ruined. Im just constantly stressed, depressed and sometimes extremely distressed because of my ugly face. I could handle not being beautiful any more, but not the ugliness. If was wasnt for the fact that people love me and that I want to fix this and get my life back, I would want to die because a life like this is not worth living. Ive heard people say that getting old is' exciting, rewarding and the best thing that could ever happen to you.' They could not be more wrong-its by far the VERY WORST thing thats ever happened to me. Thank God Im doing some anti ageing treatments that seem to be helping
