Am I getting old and ugly?

Honestly there is now one thing that worries me more than being a Plus Size..... getting Old.

I’m serious.

I’m even thinking that losing weight might not be such a good idea. I might wrinkle more and faster.

When I see a picture of myself, it’s the first thing I notice. Am I greyer or not? Do I look my age (no I won’t tell you!) or younger?

At the same time, I am trying to convince myself that I am not as old as it seems. It would work if..... I didn’t have kids! They remind me my age with so much pleasure.

Well tell me what you think.

The Old Mama or La Vieille (same thing in French) as my kids like to call me, does not look too bad, NO?

You know what I need from you.....

(Compliments maybe?)
