My new goal - slim down my face!

[Stebby]

I've been looking at recent and not so recent photos of myself. One common theme is that whenever I've been on the fat side, my face is fat! I can pretty much tell what my weight has been through the years by the size of my face.

Right now my face is fat - I want a slim face again!

I've just posted a recent photo in my photo album (the "recent" one rather than the old one) of me, DH and DD. It was taken on Jan. 18. I am going to consider this a "before" photo, pre-STS. I'm going to look for my face to shrink by the end of STS. Of course, I need to clean up my eating too! That is the tough part. Wish me luck!

Hi Stebby!

This is silly, but when you get to be my age (heading towards 55), you are happy to not have the old turkey waddle!

Hi Gidget - Believe me, my face isn't the only thing I need to slim down! I've packed on a good 30 lbs since I had DD and I'd like to take that off too. (Probably about 1/4 lb of that is my face, LOL!) I live in Toronto.

Hi Amy - I think I am starting to get a bit of turkey neck under the padding (skin feels a bit looser than it used to) - I am wondering if my double chin will turn into a full wattle. Maybe when (reminder to myself, that's WHEN, not IF) I lose the weight I will need to wear turtlenecks all the time. The joys of getting old. BTW, if that's you in your avatar, you look fabulous!

Yes, that is me in the avatar. That photo is about 6 months old.

I do wonder about the waddle thing and weight loss.

I need Sean and Christian!

Oh well...Im sure if you lose some of the weight you have gained you will see a difference all over! Its so easy to gain...and so hard to lose! Kind of like a cc. Easy to run up but takes forever to pay off Unless you renew your morgage and throw it in with that! LOL

Stebby you are too cute! I think your face is just fine IMHO.

 

[morningstar]

I don't think you have a chubby face at all - in fact, I think you might be one of those women that looks better with a little flesh on the face. Some do. I haven't been able to decide if I am one of them. And I see no sign of this alleged "double-chin" you speak of.

No, you do not need to slim down your face!
You have a pretty face. You're lucky, as we age we lose facial volume. You look youthful!!

Send it my way!

You are so lucky to have a full face! As you get older, you naturally lose fat in your face (unless you gain weight all over). My face has gotten too thin and drawn. I've lost what little fullness I had and it makes me look tired and old!

(Funny: I never thought I'd complain about being too thin anywhere, and here I am complaining about being too thin in the face! Why couldn't it be my thighs instead?)

But you can pay a surgeon to transfer the fat from your butt and thighs to your face Butt face!!LOL
