Hey gals, here's my two cents worth.

As women live their lives, their bodies change. None of us have the same bodies we had when we were nineteen. One of the reasons I love pixies is its celebration of the full range of women's beauty. But boy, the outside world sure puts pressure (especially on women) to reflect a very narrow view of beauty and vitality.

The physical changes discussed in this thread are part of our life journey. I wish health and happiness to all the guys and gals here, and if working on some aspect of your appearance helps you feel happier, go for it! But please know that there are many of us here who love the way you ladies look right now and will into the future!
