Last summer I finally ditched the bikini and went for a sensible one piece (well not too sensible it did have sequins) although later on in the summer I regretted the decision as a wobbly tum looks much better if brown, by then it was too late to go back to the bikini, that would have been hideous. I haven´t decided yet which I´ll go for this summer, I am inclined towards the one piece again, some things are not for public viewing, especially due to lack of exposure they are now whiter than white! On a more serious note here, actually deciding to cover up, albeit just a little, was one more step for me on the realising¨ I´m not what I used to be¨path. I have never taken my health for granted although I have sometimes abused the body with favourite food and drink. I am especially fond of champagne though it´s not a wise choice for the waistline or the head the morning after.Apart from these occasional failings I´m on it. During our 20´s and 30´s we seem to manage anything, eat, drink whatever and whenever, go without sleep and function, cope with stress and just keep going but once you hit the big 5 0 you have to make adjustments if you want to storm into old age as a fabulous funkyfifty who´s still worth it should! It can be difficult to deal with at times, though. A friend of mine said recently that after a certain age women become invisible, whereas men very often improve with age ( yes ---life is unfair)We mustn´t let it get to us, a quick mental shake up and hold this thought - ageing is a state of mind.
