Thanks Biciclista and Catrin ! (I did change my profile details to only show my age, thanks) . I think becoming comfortable with my body AS IS is the FIRST STEP to overcome in this middle age thing. I am still quite athletic, and very healthy, just overweight. I can lose (some?/most?) of this weight, but even if I don't, I want to love myself, and feel sexy , charismatic , and dynamic *as is*. Part of it is the societal teaching women to see themselve's through the male's perspective, and I must change that. I never hated being in my 40's I just was shocked to see my waist line increase 10 inches in 10 years. I have been slowly, perpetually shocked at the changes, but enough... and now I just have to Snap Out Of It !
This is a great bunch of women here on TE, and I think joining up with my old passion of cycling and you all here was the best step I have made in years.
