For me it would be boobs. i am "blessed" with fried eggs which, since bf have become more like a used teabag on a string

Really jampots? My eyesight has become perfect at 42 after decades of specs and lenses. It probably won't last, but I like it!

I'm going grey too. a word of warning - my mum has been colouring her hair for donkeys years. she's 73 now and looks like she has no grey at all.when in fact it's all grey. it's not a good look. it doesn;t fool anyone. but she doesn't know how to stop - she'd have totally grey roots. and then she'd have half-and-half. I'd rather go grey now than have striped hair in my 70s.

I can deal with many things in life i.e getting fat and wrinkles too but I can't deal with the peoples stares and comments when my top rides up and they see my disgusting tummy, I also can't cope when going clothes shopping and being restricted in the clothes I buy. I always say don't fix it if it ain't broke. In my case I am broken in many aspects. Call it mutilation if you want.

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 04/02/2006 23:27

but you're not broken! that's what annoys me - not you, iyswim, but the fact that people/society make you feel like that .

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 04/02/2006 23:29

I hope I haven;t annoyed or offended. I didn't mean to.

I'd have liposuction on my thighs and tummy, not because I feel under pressure to, It would make me feel even better about my body than I do now - what's wrong with improving yourself?

jampots · 04/02/2006 23:31

its possibly not just because of the aesthetics though womanwhothought.

If I wasnt such a scaredy cat I would havea tummy tuck because I feel hideous still 9 years on. For me it would be reclaiming my body after having children. In my pre-kid days I was a size 10 - I am now considerably larger and feel "frumpy". I feel its time to revert to being "me" again

Kidstrack2 · 04/02/2006 23:34

I do see what you mean, but deep down I don't let peoples stares/comments affect me too much. I'm doing it for me, to make me feel and look better. I want to be able to walk into a clothes shop and buy whatever is on the hanger instead of worrying if the top will meet the trousers and wether the trousers will hold me in enough.

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 04/02/2006 23:35

I understand the arguments about reclaiming your body etc. But surely part of the reason people want to do that is because we live in a society very concerned with appearance. I know people say they do it for themselves but why would improving your appearance make you feel better about yourself if we didn;t live a society where such high value was placed on appearance. I suppose what I'm saying is that it's not the plastic surgery I feel so strongly about, its the society that has created it. and i know, people have been improving their appearance for years, but I find the scalpel too much.

Melpomene · 04/02/2006 23:37

I would have my legs lengthened. I'm 5ft 2 and can never buy trousers that fit, apart from petite ranges which are a pretty limited choice. And I'd like to be able to reach high shelves .

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 04/02/2006 23:37

another thing - I think it's mainly the chasing eternal youth thing - or constant striving to improve - that I find difficult - (partly cos it's doomed to failure) and I can see in your case that's not the deal.

Kidstrack2 · 04/02/2006 23:38

You haven't offended anyone, But would you still say the same if you were in my position, with an unsightly tummy that was, well once perfect to you but no longer was perfect!

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 04/02/2006 23:42

you're very young ( i see from your other thread) and I can't really put myself in your shoes. I think I feel for my part, that I can handle being past my prime! I feel quite peaceful about it. I did used to be quite vain, I think. Now I think I'm ok with being myself.

Kidstrack2 · 04/02/2006 23:45

Yeah i can understand that, I didn't want to get to an age where I regretted not having it done. Say when i got to 40 and I had looked back and thought why hadn't i had it done years before! Iyswim

Kidstrack2 · 04/02/2006 23:50

Ok I've killed it now haven't I! Well I would have New Boobs if I knew it was totally 100% safe but then again nothing is 100% safe nowadays, I think I would have it done if it didn't interfere with breast readings i.e mammogram (sp)

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 04/02/2006 23:53

sorry! popped upstairs to brush my teeth. I'm off to bed in a mo. night night. and I hope the op goes well for you.

Kidstrack2 · 04/02/2006 23:55
