Turning 50 - my turn to brag!

 Hi there,

I turned 50 a couple of months ago and as I couldn't fight it, I decided to embrace it.

I booked for a makeover and photoshoot for my daughter and myself.  I used to hide from photos and if I couldn't, I would stand at the back of a crowd hoping noone would notice me.  So this was something of a mind game for me.  I had to primp and pose, but it was all good fun and really showed me how far I've come.  I even posed in a corset!!

What a ride!  I done so many cool things that I could never do when I was obese.  This was just fun, fun, fun.  Its amazing what makeup, a GHD and good lighting can do.



I don't inserting the images into this post is working, so I invite you to have a look at my album.

 Wow!   Blown away.  Can't believe you are 50.  You do look 30.  And so skinny too.  Your upper arms look amazing!  Impressed.  No more hiding in the back of a crowd for you!

You and your daughter could definitely pass for sisters.  Your photographer was great and captured you in wonderful poses.  I agree, your arms rock!! 

You do look more like 30 than 50!  Isn't it fun not looking your age?  I turned 61 on Thursday and definitely don't feel my age!

You look absolutely beautiful.  You might have turned 50, but your beauty is ageless.  Congratulations on an amazing transformation.  You could be a poster child for the VSG.
