Even though I have no hips, bags under my eyes that are turning into suitcases, a little pot belly, deep frown lines between my brows and some slight sag around my mouth, I do not dwell on it or let is affect me too much because the positives greatly outweigh the negatives:
1. I present as a tall (6′), thin (155 lbs.) woman. With that type of figure, I am able to find a lot of stylish clothes to wear. I was lucky enough to even find some dresses and tops in the Junior’s department at Kohls that fit me well.
2. I am a bit past retirement age but look somewhat younger than my age. By adding makeup & a wig, I am able to easily dress as someone 20 yrs. younger.
3. I am virtually hairless from the neck down and only have a sparse, grey beard. I can go out wearing just lipstick and sunglasses, not needing any makeup. And I never worry about arm or leg hair.
4. I also try to mitigate two of the negatives: I always wear some type of glasses which mostly hide the bags and all my new wigs have bangs to help cover the frown lines.
So as I said the plusses outweigh the minuses with the result that I am very happy with the way I look.
