Speaking of diets, which I was (two days ago; keep up, people), I am not bothering: I like food too much. I am overweight, yes, but I just don’t care that much anymore. In the past month I have twice read the same piece of wisdom: after a certain age, a woman must choose between her face and her figure. It means that skinny older women are wrinkled and haggard looking (look at poor Hannah Waterman and her huge weight loss; her figure is great but her face looks dreadful) and we chubby older women might waddle down the street and need to buy two seats on a plane, but we look like infants. I’ll plump for infantile any day: pass the chocolate.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)

You are a person after my own heart. My only problem is keeping my blood sugar low enough that I don’t get diabetes. I don’t care rip about the weight loss. I’ve got to be more diligent and I hate it.

My Mum-in-law had the same problem; it’s not much fun, is it?
Thank you for your visit to my blog; I’m sorry I can’t reciprocate but I have no return address.
