I look like and grandma

Posted , 6 users are following.

Dear ladies, I am one year in postmenopause, i.e. one year without menses. It is OK, I got rid of many health issues like migraines, fatigues, etc. that plagued me for years. I am generally healthy, even though there are some problems like tinnitus worsening, eye floaters, gums and teeth that are bothering me.

But I do not like my physical appearance now. During past months I turned into an "grandma". I got some weight (more or less OK, not too much), and my body changed - large breasts and belly. There is something "old-ladyish" in me that I do not like. Clothes that I loved wearing before do not suit me now. I lost my style completely (jeans, shirts, sneakers). Unknown people in shops, public transport behave like I am somebody "old" and probably pity. My face changed. I have never been a sexy type, but I was pretty, a bit Audrey Hepburn type. Now it is simply gone. However, what is funny that I FEEL mentally younger that ten years ago. But in an "old" body.

Does somebody has the same experience?
