I have put on a stone v-e-r-y gradually, it's crept on since I landed a desk job four years ago, but I'd no idea some of it had gone to my face, you can really tell. I've cut back on drinking wine and am giving it more down the gym. Well done for your changes Welly, there's no way you look like someone who's almost 50!Hannah Littletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019357519251205885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312785806892367781.post-90903238824404429032012-01-23T13:37:03.478+00:002012-01-23T13:37:03.478+00:00Well done to you, though I must add I think many o...Well done to you, though I must add I think many of us 40 somethings (especailly creative types) lack the time, I am starting to get the badger hair look too, really must get the dye then find the time to put it on. I keep my hair short (again due to lack of time to do anything else with it). You are right, I would have said get to the charity shop, not that I need any clothes bought loads at a time when I did have money, but if I fancy a treat thats were I head. Luckily all my clothes are bright, very bright. Do you know anyone who embroiders? you could ask them to embroider some of your art onto t-shirts, sweaters and jeans to jazz them up, oh and as an artist, how about some bright scarves?<br />btw, I think you look great too.SimJaTahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482689186804515746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312785806892367781.post-9456340505712579192012-01-23T12:31:00.481+00:002012-01-23T12:31:00.481+00:00You look great but I know what you mean about how ...You look great but I know what you mean about how a pic can shock you into action! It was a picture of me at 16 next to a skinny friend that launched me to improve my looks, lose 2 stone,and it did change my life! (could do with that again 40 years later!)

Mine was a couple of years ago when I saw a photo of my hair. I had been henna-ing it for 20 years, it was a deep dark burgundy red, and my eyebrows had gone very pale, not to mention the light re-growth. Suddenly I realised that whatever the pain, I had to grow it out and get something softer as the colour which used to suit me was now making me look 20 years older. I too trained as a hairdresser years ago, and hack my own hair. Shouldn't do it, but there you go :-) Best of luck with your makeover!

Have fun with your make-over, look forward how you progress.

I'm 47 but feel like a frump - battling the grey hair and I've recently descended into wearing baglady type clothes at home (because they're comfy!)<br />I decided last night I'm going to let the hair dye grow out although I think lowlights may be called for to make it less painful! I'm also going shopping this week to buy some clothes I don't feel ashamed of when I answer the front door to the postman!<br />It's almost as though I feel I don't deserve to look nice but I do!Cinnamon Jewelleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436484670257361377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312785806892367781.post-64080709076055677932012-01-23T09:12:07.098+00:002012-01-23T09:12:07.098+00:00I think you look lovely, but agree that all the st...I think you look lovely, but agree that all the strategies for self improvement will make you feel better about yourself .
