I think it’s more the mind than the body at play here.
I’m only now rediscovering the fun in clothes and accessories, it died a death with Covid.
I caught a glimpse of myself last year and I was horrified. I put on nearly 20kg in the past 2 years.
I bought stuff that fitted me, not lots, but good quality, and it still looked a bit meh. Lost as to what suits me.
Mentally I took a battering due to Covid and other stuff. I lost my mojo. So I’ve spent a bit of time lately looking at my life, what makes me happy, what I enjoy, who am I.
I’m spending this whole year on self improvement. And this encompasses everything: work, hobby, health, relationship, home etc. I’m taking a giant magnifying mirror to my life and I’m trying to bring the fun back into it.
I’m in my 50s btw.
