Also had my 42nd birthday last week, feeling fat and frumpy and a bit depressed TBH. I work in a preschool so I guess it doesn't help that my work wardrobe consists of comfy flat shoes and fleecies. I do try and "dress up" on my non work days but am feeling very uninspired at the moment - too fat for most of my clothes but too skint to buy new ones, have very dry skin, psoriasis on my elbows, varicose veins on my calves, droopy 34G boobs, a big tummy, bingo wings, dull skin, no libido, suspect my pelvic floor is going south. God I sound a real charmer don't I. I DO have good hair, I have been growing it into a layered bob and it's taken about two years but I'm getting to the point where I feel happy with the style, it's just that it's going grey and the colour needs doing - can't afford salon colour and last time I did DIY I got dye all over the bathroom. I think I need some kind of bootcamp. Would love to be Gok'd! I am thinking of going for some hypnosis to help me relax and focus more on healthy eating/exercise because I think I'm stuck in a bit of a rut and need to break out of it. Would love to be a sexy forty-something, instead of a pre-menopausal old bag.
