I think I’m possibly peri-menopausal. I am 40 years old. In the past year I’ve gained around 10lbs, (down to terrible snacking habit) which I definitely notice around my middle but my face seems so much larger/fatter.
A photo memory appeared from this time last year on my phone and my face looked noticeably slimmer. It wasn’t just a good photo, there were a few from the same day that were not exactly flattering photos, but my face looked so much slimmer.
I just look at myself and see a much wider face, with a lot more chin/neck than I had just a year ago.
I acknowledge I’ve gained weight, but I can’t work out if it’s just down to this or my body is changing in general.
