Look Older

Wish I could say I've had my "Wow" moment - unfortunately, mine is going the opposite direction! I am 49, 7 mos out, lost 94 lbs. I guess since I see myself every day, I don't really feel like I look like a different person - when I veiw before and after photos here it's hard to believe it's the same person sometimes. Apparently with my thinning hair, lines in face more prominent, and the loose skin under my neck, people think I am older than I am and ask me if I qualify for the 55 yr senior citizen discount! It's very discouraging after all this to know that I now look older than I really am! Would love to have plastic surgery but don't think I could ever selfpay - credit's not good enough to take out a loan and can't see me ever saving $10,000 or more! Any suggestions or thoughts on how I can improve on my "premature aging" process?

hi, i know what you mean.i'm about 7mos out,lost 87lbs.what i did was buy new clothes that fit the new me. and new make-up!!new color and i don't use as much. i'm 50 years old,and i'm learning the new me. i think maybe everything will fill out later. i'm sure you look great,and i'm very happy for your wt lost.

Don't feel bad..I'm 44 and got asked the same question about the 55 or older club at Ross. It's got to be the thinning hair and lose skin under my chin. That is the only response I've ever gotten like this though. I thought about getting the face lift but you know what? I like who I am and I sure as the hell like the way I look now than over 100lbs ago. So you know what they can all go do?????? Be happy with yourself, you deserve it. I agree with the other posts as well. Go get yourself a new outfit that fits you nice, dye your hair ( I did, Red)...get together with some friends and go out on the town. Congratulations on your success! Deborah W. 298/193/170
