Love this article...and so agree!! JLO is gorgeous but she was always on a plane above we mere mortals... When I hit 50 I wasn't bothered; when I hit 60 was another matter. My self esteem positively disappeared. I suddenly found myself having panic attacks. I felt I needed to do something important to justify my term on Earth; that what I had achieved up to that point wasn't enough. My body just laughed back at me when I tried to regain some youth - exercise just wasn't as effective or as easy; my face gave up as quickly as my body. Now I look in the mirror and wonder who the heck is looking back at me. My body has morphed into a fatty sausage with bumps and lumps that seem to appear overnight. Now though I look at myself with kindness - yes, my body is giving up but it sure as heck has done an amazing job to this point. I am rediscovering and learning anew things that make me smile, that give me delight, that bring my soul to life. And I am no longer apologetic for my choices!!! I have also learned a difficult lesson - sometimes we need to put ourselves first; to be more tolerant especially of other women and to be less judgemental of ourselves!!!
